CTM Festival 2019 – Persistence

  • The festival has always strived to provide a forum that facilitates exchange and networking between different creative communities, while simultaneously fostering open spaces of possibility. It aims to allow those with different backgrounds and interests to explore new cultural interstices. Through a series of concerts, club nights, an exhibition, talks, and other formats, CTM 2019 will invite both longtime and new artistic collaborators and partners to collectively consider the struggles that come with balancing continuity and changeability. In this spirit, this edition's theme of #Persistence examines the aesthetic and societal potentials and pains of perseverance, and of its opposite – the transient and the provisional. It’s not only a fitting allegory for our 20th birthday, but also describes an attempt to consider what is worth being persistent about, and how. CTM 2019 will again play out across some of Berlin’s most standout cultural and nightlife venues, including regular partners such as HAU Hebbel am Ufer, Berghain / Panorama Bar, Kunstquartier Bethanien, Festsaal Kreuzberg, Heimathafen Neukölln, and SchuwZ; and new partners Berliner Künstlerprogramm des DAAD, nGbk Berlin and Griessmuehle. As always, CTM takes place parallel to and in collaboration with transmediale - festival for art and digital culture berlin. The jointly organised Vorspiel 2019 programme will again bring together a wide range of Berlin-based artists, initiatives, and venues, hosting a city-wide programme of cultural events.
