The workshop research project conducted under the heading ‘Berlin Gates to Asia’ will make it quite clear: in complete contrast to the way it views itself, Europe is really only a peripheral area of Asia, and immigrants from Asia have long since ‘integrated’ their heritage and their culture into this part of the world. The projects – which primarily involve young people – will be taking an inventory of the many different forms of Asian culture in Berlin under the guidance of Asian artists living here. Diverse technologies such as installations and videos will be used, with common activities – combative sports, cooking and cosplay – as the starting point.

Presentation
The results of the workshop will be presented at the House of World Cultures on 27 April from 3 to 5 p.m. Those attending will be invited to actively participate. Young up-and-coming journalists on the RAASIA radio show will be reporting live and via the Internet on the workshops and presentation in their radio broadcast on 27 April at 7 p.m.
