Study Visit in Berlin

Recently I was very pleased to facilitate the Study visit of the project Inter(relation) path. 

INTER(RELATION) PATH is an international project focusing on artistic research as a tool for creating an inclusive society. This exchange explores the topic of migration as a means of creation to promote social inclusion and intercultural dialogue.

The three selected artists from an international call are Noelia A. Ferreira (Spain), Kamil Druk (Poland) and Jannik Trapp (Germany).

The Study Visit organised by Lernlabor took place from 28th of February to 2nd of March in Berlin. During this time, we focused on learning about the topic of migration from embodied experiences we all have to conceptual geopolitical reflections. We began learning from all participants both artists and organisers mapping connections between us and migration.

Thanks to Mohamad from Refugee Voices Tour, we had a simulation workshop imagining a hypothetical future Europe where it sees the rise of radical political parties in most of Europe.

As well, we had a day visiting exhibitions connected to the topic where we learnt from local context to international perspectives created by migrant communities. This included the exhibition “We call it Revolution. Transnational Activism in Berlin” at the FHXB Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg Museum, “Between Bridges” by the Kyiv Perennial program part of the 5th Kyiv Biennial, the Documentation Centre for Displacement, Expulsion, Reconciliation and the opening exhibition “Echoes of the Brother Countries” at Haus der Kulturen der Welt.

This ground for collective reflection is the first stage of this project which will continue with a residency in Spain and a final exhibition in Poland.

INTER(RELATION) PATH is carried out by the lead organisation: Creando por Soria (Spain) with partners: Lernlabor(Germany) and Logos (Poland).
