Sardinia in Berlin

For years, Berlin has been an important stage for Italian diaspora communities — Sicilians, Southern Italians, Sardinians. The Sardinian Cultural Centre Berlin e.V. is one of the most prominent of these communities: an association that runs an artist residency program between Sardinia and Berlin, organizes exhibitions, and has been hosting the "Zwischen Welten — Intra Mundos" festival for years as an annual showcase.

The festival combines three formats over five days:

Group Exhibition curated by Giusy Sanna — Sardinian and Sardinian-German artists from the residency program and the Berlin diaspora

Studio 1 at Kunstquartier Bethanien

The Kunstquartier Bethanien on Mariannenplatz in Kreuzberg is one of Berlin's most important exhibition venues for the independent scene — a former 19th-century hospital, now housing artist studios, galleries, and performance spaces. Studio 1 is one of the larger rooms, ideal for group exhibitions, small concerts, and performances. Address: Mariannenplatz 2, 10997 Berlin-Kreuzberg.

Berlin-Kreuzberg and the Italian Diaspora

Kreuzberg is one of Berlin's neighborhoods with the largest Italian community — historically shaped by migration in the 1960s, and today also by a young generation of Italians who have moved to Berlin for study and work. The Sardinian Cultural Centre is one of several regional Italian cultural associations in the city — Sicily, Apulia, and Sardinia each have their own structures, with the Sardinian one being particularly active. Visitors to the festival get to know a very specific aspect of Berlin's diaspora culture.
