AMAN, AMAN! will be celebrated in Berlin with a three-day festival at SİNEMA TRANSTOPIA. Through concerts, listening sessions, film screenings, talks, and culinary interventions, the intertwined echoes of the Eastern Mediterranean and the multilayered histories embedded within them become audible, visible, and experientially accessible. The region’s cultural heritage—shaped by migration, displacement, and exile—unfolds within Berlin’s trans-cultural present. The festival seeks fluid narratives beyond chronological orderings and opens up new, polycentric perspectives from within the diaspora. These perspectives are re-situated through sound, language, and film—beyond fixed categories and singular attributions.

The event is a collaboration with SİNEMA TRANSTOPIA.
