heimaten Festival for Plural Democracy

Tauche ein in eine Welt, in der Vielfalt unsere größte Stärke ist. Erlebe über mehrere Wochen hinweg inspirierende Begegnungen, die den gesellschaftlichen Zusammenhalt neu definieren. Von mitreißenden Performances und tiefgründigen Lesungen bis hin zu lebhaften Diskussionen und gemeinsamem Essen – hier gestaltest du aktiv die Zukunft mit. Lass dich von einer Fülle an Perspektiven berühren, hinterfrage Bestehendes und finde deinen Platz in einer Gemeinschaft, die durch unterschiedliche Stimmen erst lebendig wird. Sei dabei, wenn wir gemeinsam Räume für ein offenes, pluralistisches Miteinander schaffen!

heimaten means opening spaces, creating a home for oneself, and insisting that this home has always been shaped collectively by many people. heimaten stands for the idea that a society draws strength from its plurality; that commitment, vitality, art, and culture arise from a diversity of voices; and that this also encompasses debate, criticism, and dialogue.\n\nThe festival takes place over a period of several weeks, primarily in October, at various venues across the German-speaking world. It explores decolonization and the culture of remembrance, processes of radicalization in the digital sphere, as well as the history and present-day reality of migration in European cities, and features exhibitions, performances, readings and film screenings, conferences and workshops, as well as music, dance, and communal dining.
