The Kyiv Biennial’s live program unfolds through a range of formats, foregrounding Berlin’s diasporic communities in dialogue with translocal artistic practices. At its center, KW’s main hall hosts a week of concerts and performances exploring music’s affective force across diverse sonic practices and vocal traditions. This is extended through a series of listening sessions that explore different geopolitical dimensions of sound.

Throughout the program, process-based practices emphasize polyphony as a mode of resilience, culminating in a newly commissioned immersive performance shaped by unstable forms of belonging.
