HKW IS BACK WITH ITS 2026 PROGRAMME ☄️   ‘If something or even nothing does not know its own kind, it is not being kind to itself.’  —Sun Ra, ‘My Music Is Words’ (1968)     In a struggle against despair as to the current state of the world, this quotation by Sun Ra invites us to reimagine the world we find ourselves in. The musician and composer Sun Ra reminds us that in order for us to be human, we need to know our kind and thereby recognize the humanity of the other. This becomes possible when we create space for and respect each other’s histories, philosophies, cultures, and sciences. Resonating with this notion, Haus der Kulturen der Welt’s (HKW) 2026 programme unfolds.    +++   EXHIBITION   Tirailleurs: Trials and Tribulations 🗓️21.3.–21.6., Opening: Fri., 20.3.   +++   heimaten 🗓️April–December   +++   NEW EVENTS   Discourse.Pop.Love 🗓️March–December   The Nardal Salon, Re-enactments and Re-enchantments 🗓️28. & 29.11   Uncertain Intelligences 🗓️January 2026–September 2027   +++   OUR ANNUAL FESTIVALS & SERIES   Sonic Pluriverse Festival: Global Echoes of Gnawa 🗓️June–August   Afrodiaspora–Composing While Black 🗓️March&April   Politics of Rhythm: Bullerengue, Sabar, Pump, Create, Elevate 🗓️April–December   AI: Digital Twins and Data Doppelgängers 🗓️22 & 23.05.   Shaped to the Measure of the People’s Songs 🗓️June–October   L is for the Way You Look at Me II 🗓️2026   Internationaler Literaturpreis 2026 🗓️July   Tongue and Throat Memories 🗓️August & November   Bwa Kayiman: Crossing the Mangrove 🗓️31.07–2.08   Middle Ground: Nepal Literature Festival 🗓️2 & 3.10.   A Felasophical Gathering 🗓️15.10   Fertile Void 🗓️6–8.11   School of Quilombismo: Crip Epistemologies 🗓️13–15.11   House of Houses 🗓️2026   Kid’s Disco 🗓️Every Month starting February

We’ve been to Mexico a few times now — and honestly, every visit fills my heart with so much beauty, colour, and inspiration. It’s one of those places that makes it hard to leave 😌 But like all long-distance travel, it definitely takes its toll. The change in rhythm, food, and climate can really stir up vata and pitta — that mix of restlessness, dryness, and heat (especially after being in a hot climate for a while). Ayurveda reminds us that we can soften the impact of travel through ritual — small, mindful acts that whisper to the body: You are safe. You are home. It only takes me about 20 minutes a day to feel grounded again. Here’s what I do: 🥥 Coconut oil pulling — clears toxins and cools excess pitta first thing in the morning. (There’s even research showing it reduces oral bacteria and supports gum health!) 💆‍♀️ Self-massage (Abhyanga) with cooling coconut oil — instantly calms my nervous system and nourishes the skin. Modern studies confirm that massage lowers stress hormones and improves circulation — Ayurveda has just been saying it for thousands of years. 🌹 Facial mist with rose — a refreshing reset and a moment of sweetness for the senses. 🍐 Eat a pear — simple, cooling, and keeps digestion smooth when the body’s adapting. 👃 Nasya with Anu Thailam — keeps sinuses protected from dry air and travel fatigue (this one’s still being explored by researchers, but I swear by it). 🌸 Garland Pose (Malasana) — grounds energy downward, supporting apana and healthy digestion. It’s amazing how these tiny rituals can transform travel into something sacred — a way of coming home to yourself, no matter where you are in the world. If you want to explore more Ayurvedic self-care rituals like this, you’ll love my book Sacred Pause — you can find it in the link in my bio 💛 #AyurvedaTravel #SacredPause #AyurvedaSelfCare #PittaVataBalance #HolisticWellness #AyurvedaLifestyle #TravelRituals

Huge congratulations 💫 Henriette Gallus has been appointed Director of Public Strategies at Ullstein Publishing Group (Bonnier Media)! After years of intensive collaboration, Henriette will leave HKW on 30 September 2025 to take up her appointment, starting 1 October. In her role as HKW’s Deputy Director, Henriette already supported the preparatory year of Prof. Dr. Bonaventure Soh Bejeng Ndikung, who was appointed Artistic Director in 2021. Together with him, she played a key role in shaping the strategic realignment of HKW and its reopening in 2023. Since then, she has been responsible for the communications and publishing agendas of HKW and has conceptually led the multi-year, nationwide project heimaten, which was developed in collaboration with Bonaventure Soh Bejeng Ndikung, Max Czollek, and Ibou Diop. “Henriette Gallus as a friend and colleague, with whom I have worked for over 12 years, has been a fundamental part of the reimagination of a Haus der Kulturen der Welt worth its name ever since I was appointed. She has been crucial in implementing our practice of ‘leadership with affection’, synchronizing conceptual and operational ambitions, dreaming up communication strategies and putting in place strategies for a house with the mandate to present the cultures of the world in a time of extreme sociopolitical precarity across the globe. While her absence in the day-to-day operations at HKW will be felt, we congratulate her on her appointment as Director of Public Strategies at the Ullstein Buchverlage. We trust she will carry the HKW spirit of the last years with her into her new position and that she will stay close to us and our programme in the coming years.” – Bonaventure Soh Bejeng Ndikung, Director and Chief Curator Even though we still have a few months of working together, we already sincerely wish to thank Henriette for her passionate, bold, and visionary work, and her dedication. We wish her all the very best in this exciting new role — and are glad she will remain a close friend. All our best, dear Henriette! 💐 ______ Credits: 1. Photo: Jana Edisonga/HKW 3.

SAVE THE DATE: Surreal Continuum—a literature festival 📚   Surreal Continuum: Revisiting, Remapping, Reimagining Surrealism is a two-day festival programme filled with Talks, Readings, Music, Performances, Screenings and Installations.  Emerging in the period following the First World War, Surrealism sought to combat western rationalism by expressing the profundity of the mind through automatism, writing, poetry, and psychoanalysis. But despite its global resonance, Surrealism has often been narrowly framed as a male, European (primarily French) movement. Surreal Continuum counters this narrow narrative by engaging with under-recognized contributors to Surrealist thought and practice across different geographies, such as Suzanne Césaire, Joyce Mansour, and Ted Joans, while also forging new connections to the works of contemporary practitioners such as Madeleine Hunt-Ehrlich, Moses März, Emilie Moorhouse, Savanna Morgan, Fiston Mwanza Mujila, Ben Okri, Lisa Spalt, Yoko Tawada, and others.   The Festival re-examines the movement on its centenary, reimagining and remapping it by celebrating its overlooked artists, interrelated movements and histories typically regarded as disconnected or rendered completely unseen.

Start unserer neuen Gesprächsreihe: HEIMATISIERUNG. Über Zugehörigkeit und Pluralität ✨   Wie lassen sich Heimaten schaffen? Wodurch werden Vorstellungen von Teilhabe produktiv und wirksam? Welche Vorbilder existieren, um sich in der Gegenwart zu beheimaten? Auf der Suche nach Antworten auf diese Fragen verbindet die Gesprächsreihe HEIMATISIERUNG zwei Gedanken: die Idee, dass man dem Wiedererstarken völkischer und radikal-nationalistischer Politiken die Realitäten der pluralen Gesellschaft entgegenstellen muss; und, damit verbunden, eine Rekonstruktion der unterschiedlichen Modelle von Zugehörigkeit, die in den vergangenen Jahrzehnten von vielen Menschen und Initiativen entwickelt worden sind und die deutsche Gesellschaft, Kultur und Politik maßgeblich beeinflusst haben. Der Start der neuen Gesprächsreihe HEIMATISIERUNG führt von den wilden Streiks der 1970er Jahre über die Straßenkämpfe der 1990er bis zu den Aktionen der Kanak Attak in den Nullerjahren. Der Weg zu einer postmigrantischen Gesellschaft war lang und voller Abzweigungen, Kämpfe und Neuanfänge. Es ist kein Zufall, dass die Idee zunächst in künstlerischen Räumen - vom Film über Hip-Hop bis zum Theater - ausformuliert und erst in einem zweiten Schritt wieder in politische Debatten und akademische Diskurse eingespeist wurde. Über die gesellschaftlichen Realitäten im postmigrantischen Jahrzehnt diskutieren die Sozialwissenschaftlerin Naika Foroutan, der Politikwissenschaftler Joshua Kwesi Aikins und die Intendantin Shermin Langhoff mit Max Czollek und Ibou Diop, den Gastgebern der Reihe.   HEIMATISIERUNG: Das postmigrantische Jahrzehnt Gespräch 🗓️ Donnerstag, 20.03., 19:00 📍 Safi Faye Saal Tickets €5 (hkw.de/webshop) Auf Deutsch, Simultanübersetzung ins Englische und in Deutsche Gebärdensprache (DGS) HEIMATISIERUNG ist Teil von heimaten. Das Projekt heimaten zielt auf eine Neudeutung des Heimatbegriffs im Sinne der realen pluralen Zusammensetzung der Gesellschaft Deutschlands. heimaten wird gefördert durch Die Beauftragte der Bundesregierung für Kultur und Medien aufgrund eines Beschlusses des Deutschen Bundestages. _________ Credits ⤵️

An essay I wrote for the @hkw_berlin Berlin magazine, in part drawn from my PhD thesis, reflecting on aspects of my Malaya project — exhibitions and performance — its methodologies, forms of archiving, and what John Akomfrah’s British pavilion at the 60th Venice Biennale says about Britain’s memory discourse. Link in bio. With many thanks to @winderjill, @cosmincostinas, bonaventurendikung. “Loss gives rise to longing, and in these circumstances, it would not be far-fetched to consider stories as a form of compensation or even as reparations, perhaps the only kind we will ever receive.” —Saidiya Hartman, ‘Venus in Two Acts’[1] @zilbermangallery @asiatopa @footscrayarts @chamber.made @culturelink_sg @sgculturelink
