Überlebenskunst – Berlins Internationale Musikszene Vertont Den Klimawandel:

In 2011, the Haus der Kulturen der Welt (House Of All World Cultures) launched a concert series entitled HKW LOKAL, dedicated to international artists based in Berlin. And the people behind the HKW’s music program did not stop there: they decided to put it up to musicians-in-exile in Berlin with a special commission: “Überlebenskunst”. Also in 2011, the eponymous event series in Haus der Kulturen der Welt presented academic, political and artistic reflections on the issue of climate change. In other words, it was a series about surviving in an increasingly hostile environment. The musicians, bands and project groups who were invited to perform in the course of the series were confronted with a difficult question: what does climate change sound like? Naturally, part of the original plan was to produce a record of these musical deliberations. The results could hardly have been more diverse.
