In recent months political debates in Brazil have become increasingly heated. Many Brazilians see the impeachment process against President Dilma Rousseff as an attempted coup from the right. The transitional president Michel Temer, in one of the first steps taken by the new government, attempted to abolish the Ministry of Culture – following a wave of international protest by artists, this proposal was withdrawn.
Due to the current developments in Brazil, HAU Hebbel am Ufer is opening its stage for a public exchange. After impulse lectures by Max Jorge Hinderer Cruz and Tatiana Roque HAU2 will become an open plenum at which all those interested can speak out about the current political situation in Brazil and can engage in exchange with each other. The event will be moderated by Margarita Tsomou.
The discussion is part of a variety of actions and interventions by artists and other participants that will take place as part of the festival “Projeto Brasil / The Sky Is Already Falling”.

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.
