» Collegium Hungaricum Berlin

Collegium Hungaricum Berlin (CHB) has been enriching Berlin’s international art and culture community for nearly a century and launched an expanded concept with a revised function in 2016. With a special focus on creative processes as well as an opening to a broader, more international audience, the CHB team has developed an interdisciplinary programming structure which is built upon five so-called “modes” (scenic – science – screen – sound – space), each with their independent brand character.
As such, CHB see itself not only as a forum for addressing current fluctuations within Hungary’s artistic communities or an internationally relevant oeuvre. It is different and it is much more: a place for dialog and encounters, a discursive platform that deals with the societal and cultural upheavals of our present as well as simultaneously a workshop and incubator for innovative ideas and a creative hub.
