Free city

Free City Exhibition Free City was an exhibition focused on creating situations to explore the concept of an ideal “free city,” potentially serving as a model for urban realities. In this vision, a free city is a space where public areas and infrastructure are entirely accessible and freely available, supporting citizens and their multidisciplinary activities.

Over five days, from December 4th to 8th 2024, Free City transformed the hybrid infrastructure of StadtWerkstatt Kreuzberg, Berlin into a space for cooperation, dialogue, music performances, rituals, screenings, enjoyment, physical activities, and unpredictability. 

The show invited artists to co-curate activities, pushing the boundaries of space and time beyond the traditional role of an exhibition venue. The program remained partially open, embracing the unpredictability inherent in its process. The series of drawings I created revolves around imagining the city of Berlin as a female entity, reestablishing her image from the "poor but sexy" given to her by Wowereit in earlier times.
