Hope. How can one feel hope given the current political situation? Global tensions and political violence leave little room for it. And yet it is there, constantly taking on new forms. It sparkles in words and gestures, inspiring our shared pursuit of a better future. Can it be captured and described?
 
A group of young BIPOC adults gathered at Ballhaus Naunynstraße to explore, from their own perspectives and as people living in Germany, images and narratives of hope as an attitude, a fleeting moment, and a enduring force. Together with filmmakers DeLovie Kwagala (aka Papa De) and Gabriel B. Arrahnio as mentors, they developed their own short films, the Kiez-Monatsschau: Raising Hope.
