In the 1990s, bands, intellectuals, and antifascist activists joined forces as Wohlfahrtsausschüsse (“welfare committees”). United by the attempt to defend antiauthoritarian ways of life in Rostock, Dresden, and Leipzig against farright scenes, participants discuss what can be learned from this history and where we stand today.
In German, free admission; the event will also be livestreamed

La Haluca (“The Pioneer Woman”) refers to a historical text by the Bosnian-Jewish writer Luna Laura Papo Bohoreta (1891–1942), which artist Ana Hoffner ex-Prvulovic* takes up in her performance. The Haluca emerges as a projection figure in which Jewish self-determination and feminist emancipation intertwine. Ana Hoffner ex-Prvulovic*’s performance takes up this figure of the Jewish woman as pioneer. Through selected biographies of individuals widely known today, the work brings renewed attention to Jewish history in the Yugoslav region – a history overwritten by the Shoah, by the memory politics of socialist Yugoslavia, and by the Yugoslav Wars of the 1990s, and one that remains, to this day, only tenuously part of collective memory in the region and beyond.

Dora Budor & Noah Barker’s new video, Monte Carlo Method (2026) premieres in November 2026 at the n.b.k. The video departs from a mathematical model used to estimate possible outcomes of uncertain events. Originating in the Manhattan Project and central to financial forecasting, the method structures the film examining a city and century built on chance. The video is supplemented by a billboard commission located at the intersection of Friedrichstrasse and Torstrasse, just steps from Neuer Berliner Kunstverein (n.b.k.).
Dora Budor (*Croatia) and Noah Barker (*California) live in New York. Their joint video works have been shown at institutions including WIELS – Contemporary Art Centre, Brussels (2026); mumok, Vienna (2025); Kunstverein Braunschweig, Braunschweig (2025); MoMA PS1, New York (2024); Simian, Copenhagen (2023); and Kunsthaus Bregenz (2022).
