URBAN MEDIA SALON
(Deutsche Version)

The Urban Media Salon is a monthly encounter of a close Berlin cultural network. It brings together interested experts from various disciplines, to debate the reciprocity of urban space and current media phenomena. We aim to establish a vivid discourse around the growing impact of New Media on our cities. Exclusive local and international guests are regularly invited to these private Salon discussions.
