Conflictual Topography I

  • Screening

The Conflictual Topography public program that was organized by Heidi Ballet and that was planned to take place during the exhibition of Zhou Tao: Winter North Summer South came to a halt due to the coronavirus crisis.

In May 2020, Times Art Center Berlin is screening Urth (2016) by Ben Rivers and The Empirical Effect (2010) by Rosa Barba, accompanied by a conversation with Heidi Ballet.
