Wem gehört die Bühne?! Kul­tur­ma­chen zwischen Idea­lis­mus und Euros

Culture thrives on passion—but also on money. Many event organizers, institutions, and artists find themselves caught between DIY aspirations, self-exploitation, and sponsorship deals. How can you remain independent when the coffers are empty? Where does commercialism begin and authenticity end – and is it even possible to strike a balance? 

Discussing these questions are: Niko Hüls (Backspin / Serviceplan Culture) Prof. Heidi Süß (Berlin Institute for Pop Culture and Rap Research) Carsten Schack (Kulturzentrum Schlachthof Wiesbaden) Alexa Käser (ALL CAPS Kulturagentur/Tapefabrik Festival) Sophie Mehner (Viva con Agua ARTS/Millerntor Gallery) Moderator: Katharina Grothkopp.

An honest discussion about culture, money, and attitude – in the middle of the Reeperbahn Festival.
