Asia-Pacific Weeks from 7 to 18 October 2009

Under the heading “Asia-Pacific: Partner for a Common Future”, the 7th Asia-Pacific Weeks will be focusing on the priority themes of “mobility” and “energy” .

The business and science program includes two specialist conferences on mobility and energy, to be held from 8 to 10 October at the Berlin Town Hall, and, from 12 to 17 October, other symposia, conferences, and “business days” on individual countries of the Asian-Pacific region.

Program of the Conferences

Application

Ten days of art and culture from the Asian-Pacific region: as a center for non-European art and culture, the Haus der Kulturen der Welt (HKW) is coordinating the cultural program of the Asian-Pacific Weeks again this year. Three new high-profile partners have joined the team: the National Gallery at Hamburger Bahnhof, RADIALSYSTEM V, and the theater Hebbel am Ufer. Each of these institutions is organizing a program that reflects its artistic and curatorial focus. The AEDES Forum für zeitgenössische Architektur, the Deutsch-Japanische Gesellschaft, NEXT – Interkulturelle Projekte, Fashion Patrons, and the Neue Gesellschaft für Bildende Kunst (NGBK) will be presenting other projects on urban development, fashion, young people’s art, and theater.

In 2009, your gateway to Asia is still in Berlin: Governing Mayor Klaus Wowereit and the strategic partners of the Asia-Pacific Weeks – Berlin Partner GmbH, the Asia-Pacific Forum Berlin, and the House of World Cultures – invite you to immerse yourself in the Asian-Pacific region in October 2009.
