Vorspiel is a yearly initiative by transmediale and CTM Festivals, which aims to connect different artistic genres, practices, venues and initiatives across Berlin. Vorspiel offers opportunities for exchange and reflection, as well as for sharing critical discourse on art, technology, politics, and identity. The jointly created programme presents the diverse approaches of multiple cultural agents in a concentrated format, while also creating a space for dialogue with the two festivals. An open call to all interested Berlin-based artists and initiatives is now out, with an application deadline of 23 November.
