Dimitri Hegemann

As a cultural activist, (urban) space pioneer and founder of Berlin’s legendary techno club Tresor, Dimitri Hegemann has evolved into quite the European music myth.

Since the early 1980s, he has been part of Berlin’s scene, always ready to bring art manifestos, grand proclamations and exhortations to experimentation. Based on these experiences, Dimitri will speak about the importance of alternative culture for urban life, change and development. He is very engaged in the night time economy in the City of Detroit and convinced the Detroit council to cancel the existing curfew of 2 a.m.
