On Community-Based Art / Zu Community basierter Kunst 

Event series / 2022 / Berlin

A two-part series of public events exploring community-based artistic practices outside institutional spaces, organised with Agnieszka Kilian and Marina Naprushkina.

Part #1: How to Grow the Community?
26 February 2022 — Neue Nachbarschaft // Moabit, Berlin

What methods lead to different forms of participation, sharing, and knowledge transfer? What kinds of resources do we need to create a community? Can we speak of a collectivity in such processes? We discussed these questions with Heather Purcell and Hanwen Zhang, artists whose work explicitly addresses feminist and migrant communities.

Part #2: Food and Justice
13 May 2022 — OKK (Organ kritischer Kunst), Berlin

In the second part, we looked at food politics, degrowth, and community. Artist Marisa Benjamim prepared a dish on site while discussing food strategies, confronting us with our everyday practices and habits through cooking recipes. In the subsequent discussion with Marisa Benjamim and Marta Sala, we addressed: What role does artistic practice play in locating food politics in our daily lives? Is sustainable cooking only a vision for the rich? What does food justice mean today?
