Ten years, one festival – Ballhaus Naunynstraße celebrates the tenth anniversary of Black Berlin Black, the largest producing festival of Black perspectives in Germany. Since 2013, since Black Lux – a homecoming festival of Black perspectives, the biennial event has been an opportunity for the venue to invite translocally operating artists to perform and collaborate in Berlin, presenting concerts, exhibitions, discussions, theater, performances, dance, and films.

For six months, from September 2023 to February 2024, Ballhaus Naunynstraße will showcase a wide range of Black perspectives and works
