Events/Openings

The Forecast Forum is a three-day program featuring unique live presentations by 30 creative talents from China, India, Iraq, Canada, Mexico, Peru, Colombia, the US and all of Europe. From August 28 to 30, the Haus der Kulturen der Welt will become a test lab showcasing their inventive ideas. Forecast invites the public to experience musical performances, videos and installations to gain insight into the development of projects from the field of art, design, architecture and science.

Six outstanding experts in their field have sifted through 360 applicants from all over the world and chosen 30 emerging talents who they will mentor and help in developing their projects. Materials and research methods as well as formats will be approached in new and challenging ways. Forecast throws a light on the inner workings of creative processes and lets audiences follow the development of ideas, how concepts are invented and tossed aside, and how decisions are made.

At the conclusion of the Forecast Forum, each mentor will select one talent to accompany through the realization of his or her project. The results of these six collaborations will be presented in February 2016 at the Forecast Festival.
