ZXZW is the annual celebration of independent culture. Expect a diverse view on indie culture as a whole, including music, contemporary dance, film and visual arts. We bring more than 200 cutting edge artists in an intimate context to an international audience. Black metal next to free jazz. Street art next to academic dance.

The Embassy Of The Living Sun Ra
ZXZW is very proud to have the legendary Sun Ra Arkestra as their special guests. From September 15 untill 21 (except for the 19th) the Sun Ra Arkestra will be band-in-residence, performing works from a different period every other day. From Birmingham to Chicago, NYC, Philly and back.
