As the global CICLOPE community continues to expand, the Festival and Awards have a brand new home.

This year’s edition once again returns to the culture capital of Berlin – and for the first time, will be held at the stunning Haus der Kulturen der Welt (HKW).

HKW is a pluri-disciplinary arts institution with a rich history. Its modernist architecture was designed to facilitate the free exchange of ideas, with a strong ethos towards finding creative solutions to better inhabit this world together. It is an iconic space, and one that beautifully aligns with CICLOPE’s mission to drive positive change across the industry.

Located in the heart of Berlin, the venue is nestled amongst the best of everything the city has to offer.
