A cooperation of the Münchner Kammerspiele with the Goethe-Institut
Habibi Kiosk

The Habibi Kiosk switches between digital and analog formats to give space to art as part of the narrative of a city. Concerts or exhibitions, city talks, music or performances - the exchange between different local communities should be made possible and made visible .
  The Habibi kiosk revolves around the question of access - access to a city, to culture, to people. Who do we relate to and who do we connect with?

HABIBI KIOSK VENICE

The Habibi Kiosk opens in Venice for Goethe-Institut/ Performing Architecture. Is it still a kiosk*, or is it already a social sculpture for the Venice Biennale of Architecture? Beyond the city limits of Munich and Venice and back again, Habibi Venice would like to explore places and regions where diverse borders merge and life stories meet. The kiosk in Munich asks: Who or what is the city? The same thing happens in Venice: whose stories are not told or not told enough - whose perspectives are missing in the narrative of the city? A space for encounters is created. In addition to negotiating the present, the kiosk is a place of speculation. What will coexistence and togetherness look like in the futur - now that we've already met. How do artistic voices express themselves elsewhere, which themes connect us and how do they become visible? How do we form new alliances beyond what society seems to have in store for us? And what resistance do they have to withstand - inside and outside? The question of access is negotiated in the Habibi Kiosk - who has the key to the city?

*In general usage in Germany, a kiosk is a small shop with a sales window from which small items such as souvenirs, newspapers, sweets or drinks are sold. It is a gathering place for people, where people talk, eat and drink. In this sense, the Habibi Kiosk sees itself as a space that is open to everyone, that invites you to talk, that is open to perspectives and whose offer consists as a range of different formats.
