Tag #Carnival Of Cultures

Why was the location of the Carnival of Cultures changed this year, and what impact did this have on the event?

This year's Carnival of Cultures showcased Berlin's vibrant cultural diversity through music, dance, and costumes from nearly 70 participating groups, representing a wide range of nationalities. The event's shift to Friedrichshain provided more space, suggesting an evolution of the festival's scale and ambition. While the event is often criticized for lacking political engagement, the presence of groups representing Ukraine, China, and Tibet highlights a subtle form of political expression within the cultural celebration.
