Festival 2025
This time Neukölln opens its doors from the 27th of June 2025 from 7 pm to the 29th of June 2025 at 7 pm and once again invites you to discover art in a wide variety of places and explore the district together.
Although the funding for next year has not yet been finalised and it is therefore uncertain whether there will even be an edition of 48 Stunden Neukölln 2025, we have decided to start planning the next festival.
The theme for the 2025 edition of the festival is:
WTF (what the fact)? Between truth and perception
Take part
Apply as an official festival entry
If you would like to take part in 48 Stunden Neukölln as an artist or group with a project on the festival theme, you can apply here. The application platform is open from 19.11.2024 to 05.01.2025.
Anyone can apply and participate, provided that the works are related to the festival theme and do not violate the code of a non-violent, anti-racist and anti-discriminatory attitude.
After the application deadline, all submitted projects will be reviewed by our jury and a decision on participation will be made. After that, the successful applications can be completed with the event dates.
We are happy about everyone who wants to be a part of 48 Stunden Neukölln, but we ask you to consider the current situation when deciding to apply.
Registration for open formats
Once again this year, we would like to offer open formats in addition to the themed part of the festival. These formats serve to strengthen and present the Neukölln art scene. They are open to professional, year-round venues focussing on art and culture. The registration deadline be the 20.04.2025.
Artistic works, rehearsal and production spaces, such as open studios and co-working spaces, can thus be shown to a wide audience as part of 48 Stunden Neukölln. Galleries, studios, shops, associations, local residents or other diverse institutions - anyone from Neukölln can register for 48 Stunden Neukölln with a programme that does not have to be themed and become part of the festival.
All you need to do to take part is register, not apply. You must apply for any necessary permits yourself. Open formats are listed in the 48 Stunden Neukölln programme with times and address.
Registration as a venue
If you have a venue in Neukölln and would like to make it available to one or more artists as a venue, simply register as a venue.
Whether gallery, pub, bakery or supermarket. Anyone who wants to support the festival and its artists and thus be a part of 48 Stunden Neukölln is urgently needed and very welcome. All you have to do is create a venue.
