Berlin Exchange Project October 2017

The Australia & Berlin Arts Exchange project showcased Australian artists with disability and innovative learning opportunities between Australia and Germany from October 9-20, 2017, in Berlin.

The 10-day festival centred around a Meeting Place event with a number of satellite events, arts workshops, music, dance and performances; as well as cultural exchange opportunities between Australian and Berlin artists and arts and culture leaders with disability.
