Dear friends in Berlin, 

You are warmly invited to a special breakfast conversation convened by e-flux Agenda, after 92 days runtime of the 13th Berlin Biennale.

A conversation between Catrin Lorch, Jörg Heiser, Julieta Aranda, and Zasha Colah on what art criticism and belonging can be—both as affinity and as civic responsibility—in times of genocides, the permanent war economy, scold culture, and an overwhelming retreat towards insularity. This meeting seeks to be a difficult and candid reflection on belonging—to a city, to internationalism, to a way of seeing the world, to art, to each other. 

We look forward to your presence, please RSVP if you are attending. The event will be live streamed. Please find a link for it here.  

Warmly,
e-fux Agenda / 13th Berlin Biennale
