In an exchange project a young generation of Berlin and Detroit artists turned to hip hop. Poets, MCs, singers and producers recorded an album and shot a film in the American city, revealing their great curiosity and enthusiasm for the mutual encounter and the artistic collaboration. What emerged is a unique project between formerly imprisoned youth and already established artists from Berlin and Detroit, which is slated to continue this year as well. The project exposes the wide scope of styles, languages and genres from the contemporary arts scene in both cities, in which an internationally networked poetry, spoken word and hip hop scene has developed over the last ten to twenty years. The focus is on new configurations and contextualizations, on how signs and languages get reinterpreted in the transfer process of appropriation. Following the film there will be an opportunity for discussion.
After the performance on 1 June: Artist Talk with Olad Aden, Phillip Halver, Ninjah and Sarah Reimann.

Latest information for arrival:
There is currently a construction site on Hallesches Ufer between Wilhelmstraße and Möckernbrücke underground station. There is a divided replacement route for pedestrians (right) and cyclists (left), which are separated by a yellow ground line. The carriageway is narrowed to one lane.
Travelling to HAU2 via U Hallesches Tor:
If you are coming from Hallesches Tor underground station, you will have to use an alternative footpath from Wilhelmstraße / Hallesches Ufer junction, which is separated from the carriageway by a construction fence – the actual footpath is currently closed. Please note: the alternative route is also used by cyclists. Pedestrians should keep to the right. We therefore currently recommend that visually impaired or blind visitors come to the HAU with an accompanying person.
Arrival HAU2 via U Möckernbrücke:
When you leave Möckernbrücke underground station, please stay on the footpath on the canal side until you reach Hallesches Ufer / Großbeerenstraße junction – the opposite side is currently closed due to construction work.
