ProtestFest 2025

On Saturday, September 27, bbk berlin joined forces with many other artists at the #ProtestFest in front of the Berlin University of the Arts (UdK Berlin) as part of the #BerlinIstKultur action alliance to protest against the planned cuts.

The message was clear:

Those who cut back on the basic requirements for artistic work and fail to protect cultural life weaken society at its core.

Right now, it is important to stand up together and fight for the preservation of cultural infrastructure. We warmly appeal to all artists and cultural workers: participate in the upcoming demonstrations and make your voices heard!

We refer to Article 20 of the Berlin Constitution, which states:
“The state protects and promotes cultural life.”

This obligation should be a clear instruction for the Berlin Senate – culture is a cornerstone of our urban society and must be supported accordingly.
