Diverse Modernism | Modern Diversity

European cooperation project

On the first day of the kick-off event of the Triennial of Modernism / Triennial of Modernism 2022 in Berlin, actors* from selected future network cities will present the developments and local networks of Modernism and their dedicated work.

The Modernism is a progressive cultural heritage whose avant-garde architecture, art, urban and social developments are highly topical for the future of Europe and the resilience of values. With a planned European cooperation project, a path towards a "European Triennial of Modernism" (ETOM) is to be embarked upon, with around 40 partners* from some 15 countries, with a focus on Central Europe. Their common history of Modernism is based on a diversity of examples, sources, protagonists and - even more so today - on the diversity of actors working for the building cultural appreciation and for a sustainable perspective of Modernism . The actors face similar or comparable challenges as well as potentials and seize an opportunity with the trans-European cooperation to unite goals and address a common public.

Particularly today, in the face of war and attempts at division, as well as in awareness of the historical ruptures, the European architectural-cultural development of the Modernism and a lively exchange prove to be exemplary for cultural cooperation and cohesion, especially in Central Europe.

On the first day of the kick-off event, actors from selected future network cities will present the developments and local networks of Modernism and their dedicated work.
