SOMA Happiness as anaesthesia. SOMA takes its name from the drug in Aldous Huxley's Brave New World: a state-issued euphoriant that erases every form of suffering in exchange for social stability. Read alongside Orwell's 1984, this dystopian literature becomes a lens on the present, where control works not through fear and censorship but through pleasure and induced contentment. It is from this lens that the project takes shape. For two weeks SOMA takes over two halls of Kunstfabrik HB55, a former margarine factory in Berlin-Lichtenberg. One hall becomes a temporary art gallery: a contemplative journey through works by different artists, across graphics, photography, sculpture, masks and installation. The other is a space for live performance and workshops. The programme runs across two weekends, arced from anaesthesia through distortion to awakening.
