You are invited to TAKE a SEAT. MAKE a SHIFT.

A space of gathering, reflection, and activation by the transfrontier art collective de_colonialanguage, curated by Irina Denkmann.

Since 2023, de_colonialanguage has been transforming Berlin’s public spaces into cultural fields of resistance. From their open-air base at Alexanderplatz - marked by imperial memory and capitalist transit - they created the Open Air Museum of Decoloniality: a network of collective learning, publishing, and community care.

Now, they shift into Kulturfabrik Moabit with a multi-week exhibition exploring exile, displacement, and radical solidarity across Central and North Asia, the Caucasus, and Eastern Europe.

🧭 What to Expect:


  • Works from the Voices Otherwise residency program
  • Performances, poetry readings, and community rituals
  • Lectures and workshops (AI, musicology, beadwork & more)
  • Publishing programme and a presentation of the publication “Grasp a Seat”
  • A collective archive of resistance and care

🕰️ Opening Reception: Saturday, 20 September 2025 at 17:00


🗓️ Open to the public on:


  • 20-21 September
  • 26-27 September
  • 3-5 October
  • 10–12 October
  • 17–18 October
