artists from Turkey and other countries. Since its formation
32 years ago, the Foundation has been committed to bringing
together different cultures and contributing to the creation
of a platform for multicultural dialogue. |

Werkstatt der Kulturen reflects
in its work art and culture as influenced by immigration and
globalisation. Its programme includes everything from major
events, like the Karneval der Kulturen (Carnival of Cultures),
to theatre and music productions. Intercultural cooperation
and networking are its central theme. Its projects and programmes,
which are aimed at an international Berlin audience, call into
question the usual patterns of interpretation and dialogue. |
