2020 Berlin
A long afternoon of public pauses reversing the post-pandemic rush to normality: This is an Intervention! was a mini-festival of artistic interventions in the public space of Berlin-Kreuzberg, in which artists and cultural workers opened up their private thinking to the public. These were accompanied by a discursive radio programme, guided tours and the Pandemic Films open-air film screening.
This is an Intervention! explored the undiscovered land of the post-pandemic. Could this be the ground on which vast and widespread cultural, environmental, economic, social and democratic transformations in systems and mindsets can be initiated? Acknowledging uncertainty as a commonality, the event attempted to collect the wide range of contemplations, energies and emotions at play in the critical moment after the first COVID-19 lockdown was lifted in Germany.

This is an Intervention! was a non-funded initiative that came into being through a collaboration between B_Tour and Kap Hoorn, and with the generous support of all participating artists and volunteers.
