Nightlife is the culmination of all kinds of euphoria and the promise of feeling good. Unlike at work or school, it entices us with the temptation of dissolution of boundaries, and thus a state that often goes hand in hand with substance use: alcohol, ecstasy, cocaine and cannabis are often part of partying, just like good music, flirting and dancing.

What are people looking for in clubs, at parties or festivals? Does a party night always follow the same script? Where are the dangers lurking - we show them. And are there night trips without blues - we think about this together with the visitors. ON A NIGHT TRIP opens up a discourse on health in the party context in the midst of society in a new and surprising way.

The exhibition is accompanied by an additional program with offers for school classes and students, with discussions with and for club owners and clubbers, with lectures and a kind of party of the future. A publication will be released.

Project partners:

• Institute for Health and Nursing Science at Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin

• Prevention center and subcheck of SiT - Suchthilfe in Thüringen gGmbH

• Defense barracks, Frank Sonnabend

The aim of this and future exhibitions is to draw conclusions from the results and experiences that will be incorporated into the design of the new building.

From October 20 to December 10, 2023
