The Department of Art, Culture and History is an important point of contact for key cultural projects and initiatives. The department advises on approval and application procedures for funding and art projects in public space, supports the public promotion of art and remembrance projects on both a regional and supra-regional scale, facilitates networking and transcultural exchange and has for years successfully coordinated cultural education work aimed at predominantly young people.

If my neighbour is okay, I’m okay

If my neighbour is okay, I’m okay

The exhibition asks fundamental questions about care: Why do we care for other people? And who do we care for and who don’t we care for?

Archive in Flux

Kunst Raum Mitte
Archive in Flux

Kunst Raum Mitte was founded in 1987 in the GDR as galerie weisser elefant. The different stories that emanate from it are the core of the program. Through strategies of curatorial and artistic research, the stories and their perspectives are placed in new contexts.  Contemporary artists explore the historical materials of the communal gallery and place the stories in new contexts through their perspectives. The program of 2025 is determined by thematic sequences, with the selection and presentation of the archive materials in Martha Schwindling’s specially designed display changing constantly – creating an archive in motion.

Klosterruine
Opening of „anything, anything“ by Kate Newby in Klosterruine Berlin, credit: Juan Saez

For her exhibition anything, anything, Kate Newby has developed a new site-sensitive work that addresses the Klosterruine Berlin as a place of continuous change. The intervention consists of more than nine hundred bricks, which Newby worked on before the firing process, integrated into the floor of the monastery ruin in the form of two lines.

KISR – Kunst im Stadtraum Leipziger Straße

The third edition of KISR – Kunst im Stadtraum takes place at Leipziger Straße (2023 – 2025) and focusses on another part of Berlin-Mitte that is grounded in an utopian city planning concept. Three temporary art works are created from spring 2024: Gertraudenhain by artist Christof Zwiener from March 2024, Diadéo trésor by artist Kandis Friesen from September 2024 and the artist group’s msk7 work rüber machen in March 2025. Poligonal accompanies KISR Leipziger Straße with a program that negotiates questions of architecture, urban development and art in public spaces.
