What happens to Berlin culture during a year of lockdowns? In this community-facing initiative, our group went out to explore what the emerging digital culture of closed theatres, museums, cinemas, and clubs might look like on the ground. We took a series of virtual journeys - sometimes alone, sometimes together - to places near and far to find out how we can re-connect with each other digitally from our own living-room couch. Whether at the Gorki Theatre or the Gropius Bau, or far away in Iceland, Scotland or the US, we were surprised, sometimes critical, and gained a new sense of what cultural life had on offer and how it has adapted to the pandemic.
We now want to share some of these experiences both of isolation and reconnection and offer you some cultural tips on the side, so come along and listen to us as we explore digital theatre visits, virtual museums, online mentalists and dancing on Zoom.
