Sensing the city - Sense of the city

Cross-disciplinary exhibition project / 2022 / Berlin & Lisbon

An international exhibition project exploring individual sensations in urban spaces, taking place simultaneously in Berlin and Lisbon. The project hosted works in diverse media — including installation, sound, performance, and visual art — accompanied by a broad range of workshops and participatory formats.

Has every city got its own pace? What do we hear, see, and feel when we walk out the door into the cityscape? The city is constantly changing — political decisions and economic interests influence these changes, often leading to gentrification and class division. What do we, as residents of cities, feel about these changes, and what role does each one of us play? Is there still enough space for participation, or are we steadily heading towards dead ends?
