Technokultur in Berlin

Challenges in preserving and classifying a fleeting cultural heritage

The panel asks: What forms of remembrance – archives, exhibitions, digital reconstructions and memorial sites – exist? What strategies and resources are needed, and which partners should be involved to ensure that club culture finds its place in the city's cultural heritage? What scientific, legal and design challenges do we face? Panel in co-operation with UdK (Universität der Künste Berlin), Love Parade/ Rave The Planet, Archiv der Jugendkulturen Berlin and other institutions.
