Goethe-Institut in Exile and Berlin School of Sound present the three-day festival Mapping Sounds in Exile at Kunsthaus ACUD in Berlin-Mitte. On July 2, 3 and 5, musicians from Ukraine, Belarus, Lebanon, Syria, Algeria-Germany and Iran-Denmark invite you to concerts, performances, listening sessions and a film screening.
Although the musicians, who are often affected by the loss of their homeland, come from different parts of the world, they are united in many ways by questions of resistance, migration, (non-)arrival and memory. Music serves them all as a source and point of contact in moments of disorientation. The musicians may have had to leave their contexts of origin, but their musical traditions and conventions survive in the sound reservoir of their own work.
The musicians, most of whom now live in Berlin, supplement their sonic repertoire with the experience of new contexts. Mapping Sounds in Exile therefore not only draws a map of political crisis locations, but above all an atlas of diverse musical traditions that assert and expand themselves beyond borders. The festival aims to showcase the diverse styles and influences of pop musicians who have experienced ruptures and new beginnings. The aim is to strengthen their visibility and promote transnational networking.
