“Networks of Support”: project summary events 28.10
Join us on October 28, 2024, for a special events featuring the Networks of Support project. This international initiative, led by institutions from Ukraine, Poland, Germany, and the Czech Republic, explores the transformation of critical infrastructure and social networks in the wake of the russian war of aggression against Ukraine.
As part of the event, Vitsche Berlin will present the soundscape for Berlin’s bus number 100 which will be launched in the city on the same day. This performative soundscape is created for Berlin’s iconic Bus Line 100. The mixtape of original music, soundscapes, and narration unfolds along the bus route, weaving together personal stories of migration, memories of Berlin, and imaginary timelines. The project bridges East and West Berlin, reflecting the ongoing migration of refugees and the evolving infrastructure of support networks across the city.

This immersive audio experience blends original music, personal stories, and historical reflections along Berlin’s Bus 100 route. From Alexanderplatz to Zoologischer Garten, passengers will encounter a thoughtful mix of past and present, exploring migration, memory, and cultural exchange through a series of evocative audio tracks.
