This broadcast is an edit of recordings from two protest actions, which took place in the form of ‘rehearsals’ in the public space in front of the Humboldt Forum in Berlin. The first one was on the 15th of August 2020, just before the 7th Celebration of the re-naming of the M-Strasse. The second one took place on the 16th of December, the day that Humboldt Forum officially, although just digitally, opened.

These were the first two actions of the Coalition of Cultural Workers Against the Humboldt Forum, an open and constantly growing alliance of cultural workers based primarily in Berlin, formed in the summer of 2020.

The live recordings include songs written and performed by the Coalition’s Tear Down Ensemble as well as statements in English and German by members and companions. This is cut together with fragments of a radio interview conducted by Deutschland Funk with one of the members.
