International Cross-Genre Projects and Arts Projects

No Boundaries e.V.

An organization for national and international Cross-Genre events & projects between the lines. Literature, Music and Arts intertwined to send a message. Either to watch, listen and observe or to learn and have a look at the layers behind...

No Boundaries - Literature . Music . Arts e.V. is an organisation based in Berlin / Germany, founded in 2013. It creates, manages and organizes events that aim to break down any form of "mental" boundaries and/or limitations. Literature, music, science, visual art as well as a diversity of other art forms are going to be merged within international collaborations. Music embraces literature and artists are invited to participate within workshop settings. These will create opportunity for dialogue which will nurture new ideas resulting in the creation of new works. Artists will be provided with a platform to present their thoughts, art and ideas to an audience, that is culturally curious and interested. Intellectuals and young people alike will be addressed by the program, its reflections and projects. Contemporary art will be presented in all of its diverse fractions. The association believes in the idea of connecting the arts with the ideas of young people and/or individuals who are involved in social programs and who are therefore often left out of art projects which are currently being developed or offered to the public. Students, scholars, universities as well as formerly or currently incarcerated young and old people are considered “No Boundaries” constituency on our journey to create new project ideas. Dialogue is the core principal of our projects.

Our most recent projects

ZweiDrittel FM - 2022 and ongoing

What do you think about when the cell door closes in the evening? Who can you trust? What does punishment achieve?

Two Thirds FM is the podcast from the Berlin Youth Prison. Young inmates talk about everyday life behind bars. Because still too few people know what life behind bars is really like.

We talk about little tricks and big questions. About friendship, loneliness, or the first day in prison.

We are a team of inmates, musicians, journalists, and teachers who meet at the Helmuth-Hübener School in the Berlin Youth Prison to produce Two Thirds FM. We conduct interviews, we create beats, we rap.

Every few weeks, we deliver an episode of Two Thirds FM – here on the website and on Spotify and all other common podcast platforms.

Financed by Senatsverwaltung für Justiz und Verbraucherschutz between 2022 - 2024:

ZweiDrittel FM - Der Podcast aus dem Berliner Jugendknast.

2022 - 2023

New Video released: Die Vielfalt des Wir

What does punishment achieve?

Zweidrittel FM is the podcast from the Berlin Youth Prison. Young inmates talk about everyday life in prison. We discuss small tricks and big questions. About friendship, loneliness, or the first day in jail. We conduct interviews, we create beats, we rap.

Our perception of prison is shaped by movies, series, and a lot of clichés. Zweidrittel FM tells how it really is in jail. We produce all episodes in the Berlin Youth Prison. The inmates develop the topics themselves, and during the implementation, they are coached by musicians, journalists, and educators.

Every few weeks, we release an episode of Zweidrittel FM:

The production of Season 4 has already ended. We are now searching for funding in order to be able to continue our work.
