Autumn Programme 2024

Global perspectives are the focus of this year’s autumn programme at the Humboldt Forum.The temporary exhibition Histories of Tanzania and a varied programme of events will illuminate the history of the territory that is now Tanzania – a history that is inextricably bound up with the country’s colonial era. The programme will include films, dance, and photography as well as contemporary perspectives.

The 99 Questions conference and exhibition are all about “decentralizing the museum”. In this collaborative project involving international communities, the public will be invited to attend discussions, art installations, and textile workshops. November will see the start of Transkontinentale, a new festival format of international dance, theatre, and performance by guest groups at the Humboldt Forum. Marking 140 years since the opening of the Berlin Conference, the focus will be on productions from the African continent.

Further highlights in autumn 2024 include the events series Objects Talk Back featuring literary texts about museum objects; and Diversity of Voices in which eight Berlin choirs and Berlin’s Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester give a series of micro concerts in the Humboldt Forum’s exhibition spaces.
