Introducing: Jazzfest Research Lab
As part of its 60th anniversary celebrations, Jazzfest Berlin initiated the international Jazzfest Research Lab in January 2023. It welcomes academics and students to take a critical look at the festival’s archive, its programmes, creators, musicians and – last but not least – its myths. In two seminars during the summer semester of 2024, students from the Berlin University of the Arts and the University of Hildesheim have explored the festival’s history from various perspectives. In this film, the participants give a first look at how they dealt with their research subject. Some of the multimedia works created in the seminars will be presented by the students this autumn on the Jazzfest Berlin website and in the festival’s anniversary magazine.
