The roundtable, themed "Borderless World: Imagination as The Only Destination — A Talk Across Art, Anthropology, and Cinema" features a distinguished lineup of speakers —Wim Wenders, Dr. Biao Xiang, Ke-Xi Wu, and Désiré Feuerle — all of whom have been remarkable in their globe-trotting and border-crossing careers. This discussion is an opportunity to explore their personal experiences of crossing, transgressing, and even dissolving various borders within their respective fields. Through their insights, this event aims to provide the audience with multiple perspectives to contemplate our increasingly borderless world and the charm and challenges that accompany it.

In today's era characterised by globalisation and digital connectivity, traditional borders are undergoing a constant redefinition, with new ones continuously emerging. Within this dynamic landscape, our speakers, each a trailblazer in their respective domains, will share their unique perspectives and experiences. Wim Wenders, a master of cinematic artistry, transcends geographical boundaries in his work, inviting us to explore the universal human experiences that unite us. Anthropologist Dr. Biao Xiang's insightful research unveils the intricate dynamics of migration and how societies grapple with these movements. Ke-Xi Wu, the actress-writer, brings to life the stories of those caught in the currents of migration and diaspora, offering a glimpse into the human face of these journeys. Meanwhile, Désiré Feuerle's transformative approach to art challenges conventional divisions between the ancient and contemporary, reminding us of the enduring power of creativity across time and space.

The term "Border" remains open-ended in our discourse, and our goal is to provide the audience with an interdisciplinary lens through which they can ponder the multifaceted nature of border crossing. This roundtable discussion extends invitations to Berlinale visitors who wish to engage in the exploration of the evolving concept of borders in our interconnected world.

The event takes place at The Feuerle Collection, Hallesches Ufer 70, 10963, Berlin
