The journal dérive is celebrating a quarter of a century of urban research with an exhibition opening and anniversary gala. To celebrate this methodological wandering, we cordially invite you to join us on a journey through the dérive universe. Urbanise with us!

The name says it all: For 25 years, dérive has wandered through different disciplines and topics on the horizon of its quest for the emancipatory ideal of an open and cooperative city for urban society. To mark the anniversary, dérive invites you into the dérive universe with everyday life researcher and performance artist Lars Moritz: Highlights from a quarter of a century of wandering, offbeat explorations, forward-looking insights, birthday cake, drinks and music await. Let’s party!

Featuring:
Lars Moritz, performance; dérive All-Stars (DJ Line) as well as numerous guests and friends of the dérive universe
