About the Workshop

How can a space emerge from images? With what means can a space become a stage? Let’s try it out! You will design the Waldraum (Forest Room) of the Brücke-Museum using various art forms such as poetry, theatre, music, and movement. In the process, you will learn how to scale ideas from small to large. You will cut and glue collages from pictures and magazines, draw with ink and colours, to tell the stories that need to be told.

The current exhibitions at the Brücke-Museum and Kunsthaus Dahlem will serve as inspiration: the Brücke painter Karl Schmidt-Rottluff shows us how colours and shapes can be used freely. Emilio Vedova’s collaboration with the composer Luigi Nono inspires us to create an artistic stage design with large-format ink drawings and collages.

On the occasion of the exhibitions:
Emilio Vedova – More than Movement for Its Own Sake (Kunsthaus Dahlem)
“The World Must Always be Seen Anew” – Painting by Karl Schmidt-Rottluff (Brücke-Museum)

With Karen Michelsen Castañón (artist, art educator) and Hagar Ophir (artist, art educator)

► Karen Michelsen Castañón works at the intersection of arts and education, questioning how (colonial) histories – the dominant ones and those rendered invisible – are re-enacted in our everyday lives. She focuses on stories that are triggered by personal experiences and encounters. She is a co-founder of mitkollektiv, an intersectional arts education collective, and the education project Reimagine Jetzt!

► Hagar Ophir is a multidisciplinary artist trained as a historian, stage designer, and dancer. Her practice explores the potential to create knowledge through art and educational projects, with a particular focus on history as a space for reimagining and actualising alternative possible presents. Ophir co-leads workshops at various institutions in Berlin. She is also a co-founder of mitkollektiv, an intersectional arts education collective, and the education project Reimagine Jetzt!
