Kunstverein Tiergarten is once again inviting you to the ORTSTERMIN art festival in 2024. From Friday 20 September to Sunday 22 September, artists and cultural workers from Moabit and the Hansaviertel district will be presenting their works and projects under this year’s festival theme of “Meat”!
In Germany, one in ten people now eat a vegetarian diet and meat consumption is being increasingly criticised from an ethical and ecological perspective. However, meat is not only a food, but also a social projection surface. Animal foods have a special status that is embedded in a cultural system of values, traditions and symbols. Different religions and cultures have different ways of dealing with meat, with specific rules, customs and often also taboos or ideas of purity. Meat also penetrates interpersonal relationships: the family is seen as “one’s own flesh and blood”. Romantic partners are “to be devoured”, people lust after each other’s carnal bodies. ORTSTERMIN 2024 invites you to engage with all levels of meaning of flesh and bring in new perspectives.
Opening: 20 September 2024, 6 pm
