Gerichtstraße 35
13347 Berlin - Wedding
After years of fatigue induced by screens pointing our attention towards more channels than our body’s flows have – or should – evolve to accommodate, IRL streams will this year be prioritised over URL equivalents. By the Mango Belt & Tamarind Road is a place where we hope people gather to listen to one another, and then listen to themselves. This commitment to presence means the festival takes place beyond the mediation of live-streams and video recording, while remaining resonant through sound: audio will be available for people to attend and attune both during and after the festival dates. We invite any attendees who have radio broadcasts of any scale – personal, collective, private, public or self-hosted – to join us in distributing presence through sound.
The 2026 edition of transmediale will take place at silent green Kulturquartier and CANK . Further programme announcements coming soon.

transmediale is an annual festival and a critical space for the development of new experimental approaches in art and digital culture. Beyond the yearly event, transmediale is a transversal, dynamic platform that facilitates year-round activities including a residency programme and journal. Each festival edition focuses on a specific theme in the spectrum of art and digital culture that is reflected through a great variety of programmes like exhibitions, discourse formats, performances, screenings, and workshops.
