Dear friends and critics of global connections!

After more than four years, the first parts of the collections of the Ethnological Museum and the Museum of Asian Art of the National Museums in Berlin can finally be experienced again. This weekend, the Humboldt Forum, which is quite a historical-political disaster, will be the venue for a festive event lasting several days.

We will have to discuss elsewhere, the question of whether cynicism or ignorance is more helpful in this case. On the other hand, we are happy that the Tar virtuoso Elshan Ghasimi will finally be back in Berlin for this event!

In the two-day concert installation ASED by Sandeep Bhagwati, she and her formidable colleagues of the ensemble Extrakte can be found in the Hörraum Musikethnologie on the 2nd floor of the Palace.

The installation starts at eleven a.m. and can be visited intermittently until 21:30 on Saturday and 18:30 on Sunday. If you would like to hear Elshan Ghasimi play, please visit her at the following times:

Saturday 25.9.2021

14:30 - 15:30 / 17:00 - 18:30

Sunday 26.9.2021

11:00 - 12:30

Admission is free, but a time slot ticket must be booked.

Wishing you enjoyable autumn days and a good aegis for the new chancellor,

Julian Malte Hatem Schindele

PRESS RELEASE OF THE KÖLNER PHILHAROMNIE ON THE FESTIVAL

"FELIX!" is the name of the Cologne festival for historical performance practice. What is behind it? In the Kölner Philharmonie, among other venues, numerous internationally renowned artists dedicate themselves to the music of times long past. On original instruments and with knowledge of the playing practices of the time, they bring the sound of the past into the present and, in combination with contemporary compositions and immersive sound designs, make it fit for the future. In doing so, they not only dedicate themselves to the music of the European Baroque, but also go on long journeys to far-flung musical cultures. On 28 August, "FELIX! urban" will be a full day of music with free admission.

"One could say attachments to land, to home, dwell deeply in all of us who inherited these attitudes from the early settled farming societies. Settled (immovable) life offers security – through an unchanging place, routine, foreseeable source of food, etc. Exploration and the unknown with their potential promises are replaced with security of basic needs fulfilled. Thus the ‘cage’ on one had could be understood as a frame imposing various existential, ethical, systemic frameworks and on the other hand, offering protection and sense of security."
