World premier on the Futurium forecourt

TRANSIT – Visit from an Alternative Society

As a result of the amended Federal Infection Protection Act from Saturday, 24 April 2021, all cultural institutions in Berlin will have to close, including Futurium. As the outdoor areas are also affected by the closure, the planned opening of the installation TRANSIT by Mona el Gammal is currently not possible. We are working on an alternative for visitors.

Out of nowhere, on the night of 13 April, a strange object appeared on the forecourt of Futurium. Since then, one thing after another has been happening...

On 28 April, the story-telling spatial installation TRANSIT, a narrative space created by artist Mona el Gammal and her team, will have its premier on the forecourt of Futurium. Until 10 June, visitors will have the opportunity to see TRANSIT.

In TRANSIT, participants will be immersed in a future scenario that creates space for reflection on how our society is developing and puts forward alternative paths. Visitors will experience a story in which scientific findings are extended by fictional elements in order to point towards alternative futures.

The website www.commontransformation.com/ gives visitors the opportunity to follow the story beyond the exhibition period, to access content in the form of texts and podcasts, and to comment on the contributions.
