BLACKMARKET by Hannah Hurtzig (Mobile Academy Berlin) is a performance and an installation with 52 experts in which narrative formats of knowledge mediation will be tried out and presented. BLACKMARKET has been successfully organised all over Europe 13 times before, including Berlin, Warsaw, Tel Aviv, Istanbul, Liverpool, Graz, Vienna and Dresden. The event is recreated anew for each venue with new themes and in cooperation with local experts.
