The CTM 2026 programme continues to unfold with further additions across spatial audio, performance, and workshops.

New performance highlights include DJ MELL G closing our Spatial Radiants spatial audio night at Haus der Visionäre, and a final concert addition at Radialsystem titled Fugue Friction that will feature a solo set by Lukas de Clerck on the aulos, followed by Dror Feiler’s vernacularly devastating collective project »No IS« with a cast of local noise musicians Mazen Kerbaj, Laure Boer, Gustavo Obligado, Tony Buck, Boris Baltschun, Camilla Sörensen, Mats Lindström, and Magda Mayas who will collede with the searing poetry of Ghayath Almadhoun.

The transmediale x CTM collaborative concert »Transhemispheric Resonances« at silent green Betohnalle will feature solo performances by Vica Pacheco and Nursalim Yadi Anugerah, who compose a conversation across forest soundscapes and time-honored breath-based codes and technologies. 

Read on for information on the CTM 2026 Exhibition and multiple workshops also now announced.

Final acts and our Discourse programme will be announced in January.

CTM 2026 Exhibition: Echoes of Tumult

  

Echoes of Tumult keyvisual Design: Vojd

  

With works by: Cathy van Eck, Dror Feiler, Essa Grayeb, Fragmentin, Hoda Afshar, Interspecifics, Ioana Vreme Moser, Isuru Kumarasinghe, Jaeha Ban & Soyun Park, Naomi Rincón Gallardo, Nikita Kadan, Sissel Marie Tonn & Jonathan Reus, Zhanna Kadyrova

Echoes of Tumult brings together works of witnessing and processing violence, systemic failure, and vulnerability, by artists who are in varying proximity to the realities they are examining. They deliberately bring us into contact with painful and complex situations, oscillating between conflict and resistance, and at times unexpectedly echoing with solidarity and hope. 

A collaboration between CTM Festival, the DAAD Artists-in-Berlin Program, and iii – instrument inventors initiative. The works span neighbouring venues Kunstraum Kreuzberg/Bethanien and daadgalerie. Free entry.
