Am Rand von EuropaCity
|
Seit Frühjahr 2018 hat das Projekt Am Rand von EuropaCity öffentliche Spaziergänge, Workshops und eine künstlerische Intervention in der und um die Europacity in Berlin-Mitte organisiert. Das Projekt bringt Nachbar*innen und Wissenschaftler*innen mit der neuen urbanen Landschaft und miteinander in Dialog durch Prozesse des kollektiven Zuhörens. So lenkt das Projekt die Aufmerksamkeit auf die fortwährenden lokalen/globalen Entwicklungen und adressiert Fragen zu Europa und zur Stadtentwicklung, zu kulturellen Räumen und Nachbarschaft. Derzeit arbeiten wir an der Veröffentlichung unseres audiovisuellen Projektarchivs im Netz und an einer Publikation in der Reihe der Berliner Hefte zu Geschichte und Gegenwart der Stadt. |
Since Spring 2018, the project On the Border of EuropeCity has organised public walks, workshops and an intervention in and around the Europacity in Berlin-Mitte. Bringing neighbors and specialists into dialogue with the new urban landscape by means of collective listening, the project draws attention to the ongoing local/global developments and addresses questions of Europe, city planning, cultural spaces and community. Currently, we are working on publishing the project’s audio-visual archive on the web and producing a print publication with Berlin Journals–On the History and Present State of the City. |
The Intervention

Walking from Sellerpark (Berlin-Wedding) into the Europacity, participants carry colorful construction beams painted with the words “Europe Square” in 30 languages of the European Union.
In the form of an improvised settlement of tipi-like structures, we occupy a public park with a temporary sound installation, presenting clips of interviews, soundscapes and voices from the project archive.
On a dirt parking lot between the Spandauer Schifffahrtskanal and the first completed and inhabited building of the Europacity, we build a temporary open-air forum for a lecture by Teresa Pullano, philosopher and political scientist from the University of Basel.
As a flowing border, we leave the “Art Campus” in the Europacity and head towards Europe Square.
