What happens when memory refuses to be governed? When institutionalised forms of remembrance no longer hold? When archives glitch, bodies remember differently, and history is no longer fixed, but re-opened, contested, and rewired? The Transgressive Memory Festival 2026, which takes place during the Berlin Art Week invites us to step into a new terrain of remembrance, where media art, performance, and critical discourse meet to challenge how, why, and by whom the past is told.
Our sister festival transmediale will also be hosting events on the occasion. Stay tuned for more details!
