We are looking for committed and motivated volunteers to help us run transmediale 2025! You will receive a free Festival Pass in return for your help. Furthermore, you will get an insight into the organisation of an international festival in the heart of Berlin.

For transmediale’s 38th edition, (near) near but — far will form an understanding of how algorithms place us in weird proximities and new intimacies with one another and the qualities of closeness we lose by way of their machine-driven actions. The 2025 edition of transmediale questions how our everyday interactions with digital platforms (re)form our human need for connection.

Applicants must be willing to do a minimum of 12 hours of work before and/or during the festival days (Jan 29 - Feb 2, 2025) and ideally be able to attend a preparatory meeting before the programme begins. Volunteering activities will include exhibition supervision and production as well as event support. Shifts will span over the whole day on a rotating basis.

Some but not all of our festival venues are accessible for wheelchair users and people with limited mobility. Please indicate your special needs in the dedicated area of the form so we can take them into account while planning your schedule.

For further questions, please reach out to: volunteers[at]transmediale.de

We are looking forward to getting to know you!
