TANZFLÄCHEN DER WIEDERVEREINIGUNG
DANCEFLOORS AFTER 1989
Tanzflächen der Wiedervereinigung is a multimedia exhibition exploring the role of club culture in Berlin and East Germany after 1989 as part of a broader societal transformation. From 3 October to 9 November 2026, the project transforms the previously hidden underground vaults of Kraftwerk Berlin into a space where club culture can be experienced as a site of encounter, freedom and democratic negotiation.
Drawing on archival materials, oral histories and artistic contributions, the exhibition examines how clubs, raves and self organized spaces became sites where new forms of community, cultural practice and participation emerged after the fall of the Berlin Wall. The project consciously focuses on East German voices, previously underrepresented perspectives, as well as the contradictions, conflicts and exclusions within these developments.
Im Vorfeld der Ausstellung sind Einzelpersonen, Zeitzeug*innen, Kollektive, Künstler*innen und Initiativen eingeladen, im Rahmen eines Open Calls Erinnerungen, Materialien und Geschichten aus der Zeit der Wiedervereinigung einzureichen. So entsteht ein vielstimmiges, kollektives Archiv zur Clubkultur als Teil der Demokratiegeschichte.
The project is initiated and realized by Clubcommission Berlin e.V in the year of its 25th anniversary.
The exhibition is developed in cooperation with Diskobabel e.V. and in collaboration with Archiv der Jugendkulturen e.V. and Office ParkScheerbarth and the exhibition venue.
The project is made possible with funding from Stiftung Orte der deutschen Demokratiegeschichte, the Berlin Senate Department for Culture and Social Cohesion and Musicboard Berlin.
