SYMPOSIUM is not a conference, nor an artist talk. SYMPOSIUM is a night of experimental lecture-performances and it thanks you for your attention. SYMPOSIUM welcomes professional and non-professional performers alike to mis- and re-purpose the slideshow as a medium — to share a niche interest, to seduce their crush, to dance with knowledge, to invent a new persona, to lose the plot, to move to tears, or to make something up. They each have 15 minutes. They may approach this with playful exuberance or intense seriousness.

Curated and stewarded by Miriam Woodburn, Dora Dubber and Nelya Ahmia, SYMPOSIUM emerges from their Berlin-based »Presentation Club«, an event series featuring 10-minute PowerPoint presentations on niche topics.
