Flow States<\/em> brings together the works of the final cohort of UdK Graduate School in an exhibition, performance and event programme that explores how infrastructures shape our daily lives and how they might open ways of imagining different futures. The exhibition marks the final chapter of the fellowship programme, closing a 15-year journey of interdisciplinary artistic research at the Berlin University of the Arts.<\/p>\n

Land, water, archives, and institutions appear here not just as neutral systems, but as sites where memory and imagination intersect. Across different geographies, the artists in Flow States trace how infrastructures are entangled with state power, political agendas, and the histories and present-day realities of colonial control,\u00a0including the logistics of war and genocide.\u00a0Yet they also show how these same infrastructures carry the potential for resistance, renewal, and alternative ways of living.<\/p>\n

Rather than telling one single story, Flow States<\/em> shifts between historical and speculative perspectives. A gesture, an image, a historical reference, or a moving body become ways of testing larger systems: how climate is lived, how scarcity is managed, how ancestral knowledge may resurface as a living practice.<\/p>\n

At its core, the programme asks what happens when art treats infrastructures not merely as a backdrop but as contested ground where struggles over resources and memory meet the search for new ways of living. In a moment shaped by ecological catastrophe, the ongoing genocide in Gaza, and the intensifying repression of students and artists protesting it in Germany and beyond, Flow States insists that other futures must be imagined.<\/p>\n

After 15 years of fostering critical artistic research and development, the Graduate School fellowship programme at the Berlin University of the Arts is coming to an end due to severe budget cuts. Its closure leaves a void, but also opens a door. In a city where resources are increasingly scarce, the Berlin Senate has finally given the green light for a new hybrid doctorate (PhD) for artists. How can our individual experiences and collective expertise be harnessed to design a vibrant and resilient future for artistic qualification in Berlin?<\/p>\n

Chameleons possess a remarkable gift: the ability to survey their world in two directions at once. This unique vision is a powerful metaphor as it teaches us to draw on the wisdom and experience of the past while simultaneously charting a course toward an unknown future with fresh curiosity and courage. The roundtable will bring together alumni from different cohorts of the Graduate School\u2014 artists who navigated their own artistic and personal journeys through the programme. They will share their unique experiences, reflecting on how this fellowship shaped their practice and professional lives. This conversation is an opportunity to look back at the foundation the Graduate School built and, like the chameleon, turn our other eye toward what lies ahead for artistic development and qualification in Berlin. What future colors will we see? What new patterns will we need to adapt to?<\/p>\n

Join us as we look together through a chameleon\u2019s lens.<\/p>\n
