Crossings gathers the diverse experiences of Berlin’s diasporic communities, exploring how belonging is shaped, questioned, negotiated and transformed across cultural, national, and affective borders. Emerging from two interdisciplinary and inter-university tutorials—“Forms of Belonging: The Making and Unmaking of Transnational Identities Across Afro-Asian Diasporas in Berlin” and “Understanding the Concept of Belonging Through Cinema: Crossing the Borders of Türkiye”—this joint research project and exhibition aims to bring together communities in meaningful ways that traverse the boundaries of genres, geographies and generations. This project is funded by the Humboldt-Universitäts-Gesellschaft (HUG) and the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF), the State of Berlin as part of the Excellence Strategy of the Federal and State Governments by the Berlin University Alliance, and is realized in collaboration with Refuge Worldwide as a venue and community partner.

Further opening hours Sat 19/Sun 20 July 2025 / 12:00–20:00.

The event is open to all.
