Berlin, 7.9.2022 – Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Croatia, Moldova, Slovenia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, Uzbekistan: these 13 countries have maintained diplomatic relations with Germany since 1992. This creates indispensable aspects of bi-national cultural policy, both in response to the upheavals after 1989 and currently in view of global crises and conflicts.

With the 13 Horizons cultural programme lasting several weeks from 10 September to 4 December 2022, these 13 German partners, together with the Federal Foreign Office, will pay tribute to the achievements of 30 years of partnership encounters at eye level and successful cultural exchange – with concerts, films, a culinary programme and an exhibition.
From Europe to Central Asia, the picture of a multifaceted modernity shaped by centuries-old cultural traditions unfolds. Berlin audiences can get to know the stories and voices that tell of this modernity on the big screen, among other things, with films that contain familiar elements: Childhoods in the village. Women striving for self-determination. Heroes who preserve personal integrity in the midst of systemic injustice. Strokes of fate that seem insurmountable. Love that breaks collective taboos. In addition to the film series and an exhibition, concerts also form part of the mosaic of cultural impressions; with programmes ranging from jazz to contemporary works to classical music. There are also culinary discoveries to be made in several countries.
