Urban Practices of Care
In light of the current immigration situation, we, as art and culture professionals here in Berlin, are exploring forms of support for refugees, who are in need.
How can residents of the city help in individual ways to find a sense of home and good community in this place?
As an art collective, we are using public space as an arena to show possibilities and strategies of self-organized help, which are possible beyond the official state programs.
Last but not least, we are concerned with the psychologically beneficial effect of human togetherness and small everyday practices of attention and care. We believe creative experience can act as a reminder of the resources we each possess, with which we can offer help.
An installation in the form of a 1-room apartment on Alfred-Scholz-Platz will function simultaneously as a stage, workshop space, and meeting place. This apartment, in a public space and without walls, stands as an expression of openness and helpfulness in the new living environment.
