The Rote Wand Dialogues return for another round, and remain what they are: a space for exchange that evolves. Open, direct, and without a fixed format.
We bring together people who shape, question and think forward. From art, design, architecture, journalism and beyond. What emerges are not panels, but conversations. Sometimes quiet, sometimes clear, always in motion.
Over several days, dialogues blend with shared walks, meals and moments in between. Discourse and atmosphere don’t sit side by side, they intertwine. That’s where the quality lies: in proximity, in exchange, and in the openness to what unfolds.
The weekend is accompanied by a fire kitchen. Reduced, direct, communal.
A weekend that leaves space.
And stays with you.
With:
Jelena Pancevac, Kersten Geers, Chris Kabel, Tulga Beyerle, Bettina Kraus, Georg Diez, Liam Gillick, Vanessa Joan Müller, Taus Makhacheva, Micaela Dixon and Nicolaus Schafhausen.
