EMIGRATION TO THE FUTURE

EMIGRATION TO THE FUTURE pinned a photo

Tonight, we open Emigration to the Future with a coffin in the sky.

At 18:00, Maxim Evstropov — artist, philosopher and founder of the Party of the Dead — opens the festival with Necro Kite Festival, a workshop and performance in the Lidl car park.

The performance grows from Russian cosmism, which imagined defeating death, resurrecting the dead and expanding human life into space. Evstropov turns that enormous promise into an absurd collective gesture: together, we will build a coffin kite and launch it into the Berlin sky.

The Party of the Dead works with necro-activism, Dadaist absurdity and black humour, confronting the political appropriation of death, memory and the future.

Come to the opening. Help the coffin take flight.

#EmigrationToTheFuture #BerlinWedding

I want to say — tomorrow, finally, the festival Emigration to the Future opens. It's happening in Berlin.

Here's how, with zero institutional support, we put together a festival of over forty events with people from seven countries. It wasn't easy for us.

So why did we do it? Because in a situation where you don't know what to do, you need to do something. That's the thinking behind this festival — and maybe this recipe will work.

So I invite you — come, and share the word about our festival. We'd love for everyone to come.

— a personal appeal from Vsevolod Lisovsky, curator of Emigration to the Future

Opening is tomorrow, Friday 7 August, 18:00 — Lidl car park, Reinickendorfer Straße / Wiesenstraße 41. Free entry, all three days: 7–9 August, Berlin-Wedding.

Festival Programme: What's Where

Same festival, sorted by place instead of by day. Where do you go, and for what?

Emigration to the Future runs across seven venues in Berlin-Wedding, plus one walking route and one project online. Most of the programme — installations, plays, concerts, most of the evening line-up — lives in one place: ExBrache, the garden at ExRotaprint. The rest is spread through the district: a supermarket car park, a project room, two lecture venues, an S-Bahn platform, a private flat in Neukölln.

Free entry everywhere.
