UNEXPECTED LESSONS 4: LA PALABRE Space 1

The LA PALABRE Space at the KUBUS accompanies the programme of UNEXPECTED LESSONS – Knowledges of the Body and Sound, which explores the plural knowledge of dance, body, and sound. Interdisciplinary perspectives and practitioners from the African continent, the diaspora, and beyond will engage in dialogue with Berlin’s dynamic dance scene. “La palabre” refers to the social practice of public discourse, gathering, and collective conflict resolution found in many countries across the African continent. The themes of each UNEXPECTED LESSONS edition are further explored and discussed through conversations, artistic interventions, and reading sessions. Guests are invited to spend time in the LA PALABRE Space, to pause, listen, participate, browse the library, drink tea, or simply linger.

Artists/Collaborators: Tanzprojekt Coole Kinder (Mit)

“LA PALABRE” was developed by Isabel Raabe and Celina Baljeet Basra as part of the TALKING OBJECTS LAB. “LA PALABRE Space” at the Radialsystem is curated by Arantxa Ciafrino.

Radialsystem media partners: The Berliner, tip Berlin, taz – die tageszeitung, Radio 3.
