At the WELTSTUDIO, you can design the city of your dreams – or your nightmares. Join artists Barbara Bernardi, Linda Paganelli and Vincent Voignier in creating an expansive sculpture with photographs from different Berlin neighbourhoods.
Visitors can draw and incorporate skyscrapers, people, vehicles, monsters, trees, their own buildings, or any other part of the cityscape. At the heart of this creative project are the Open Space themes “We’re Staying: Gentrification and Resistance in Berlin”: What kind of a city do we want to create together? Which developments are we opposed to?
The curators of “We’re Staying: Gentrification and Resistance in Berlin”, Barbara Bernardi, Linda Paganelli and Vincent Voignier, will also be available during the “Weltstudio Special” for talks and guided tours of their work in the Interconnection space.
Participants
Barbara Bernardi is an artist and filmmaker, born in Italy and based in Berlin since 2008. Her multimedia installations, poetic films and photos create intimate and sensorial landscapes that tell stories of loss, mourning and migration. She collects voices, words and memories of the people who become part of her participatory works, which have been exhibited and screened across Europe and in the United States.
Vincent Voignier is a photographer and artist, born in France and based in Berlin since 2003. His work aims to meet communities, individuals and phenomena beyond the mainstream and portray them visually without prejudice or stereotypes. His photo series have documented subcultures such as Sapeurs of Brazzaville in their homes, transgender persons in Russia and the Philippines, and clubbers in Berlin. He has exhibited his work in London, Berlin, and Saint Petersburg.
Linda Paganelli is an Italian visual anthropologist, artist, and filmmaker based in Berlin since 2017. Employing a sensorial and inclusive approach and an anthropological, decolonial, queer*feminist perspective, her work touches on themes such as migration and (be)longing, realities of (post)conflict zones, eco-grief, and the relationship between humans and other species. She collaborates with museums, galleries, universities, and NGOs and co-manages the Berlin Independent Film Community.
