Welcome Julian Warner, and Hello to the Brecht Festival 2025!

We’re thrilled to welcome back Julian Warner, director of the Brecht Festival, who will be a fellow again at global dis:connect starting in March. We’re also getting ready for another exciting Brecht Festival, featuring a workshop with our Research Centre!

 

During his fellowship at global dis:connect, Julian will critically reflect on his curatorial practice, which positions itself at the intersection of globally circulating symbolic goods and locally specific contexts. Which contradictions and conflicts arise when international artists and projects engage with local institutions, audiences, and struggles? How may we further our understanding of such overdetermined constellations?

 

About the Festival:

The 2025 Brecht Festival explores “The Great Method,” a key concept from Brecht’s theoretical writings that has guided Warner’s work since 2023. This approach goes beyond mere aesthetic observation to reveal social structures and their potential for change. The festival aims to move from Brecht’s thinking to action, forging alliances with civil society groups who will actively contribute to the artistic program. Warner’s vision for the festival is multifaceted and experimental, creating a vibrant space for diverse voices and stories to intersect.
