Nine Points of View

Wie sehen wir die deutsche Stadt Aschersleben? Acht KollegInnen aus den angrenzenden Ländern kamen und kommen zu Besuch. Mich interessiert das Wort «Pflege» in einem weiteren Sinn: Dazu gehören Haarpflege, die Pflege der Stolpersteine, die Denkmal- und Landschaftspflege, Datenpflege und natürlich die Beziehungspflege. Wie verhalten sich Menschen zueinander in einer Stadt, in der mehr als 40% der Wahlberechtigten die AfD gewählt haben (und 60% andere Parteien), dabei auf einen Ausländer*innenanteil von 5% kommen und nicht auf diesen einen (gewichtigen!) Widerspruch reduziert werden sollten. Vielleicht muss man auch über die Pflege der Angst sprechen. Ich frage mich letztendlich, was für eine Gesellschaft wir sein wollen – hier wie anderswo – wofür wir uns einsetzen wollen und wie wir auf und zurückblicken möchten.

ARRABIATI

ALBERI ARRABIATI / ANGRY TREES

 

What if a copper beech could speak? - About the stress it is under as the heat and drought increase, that it can no longer drink, that it is no longer growing, that its rings are getting thinner and thinner and that it is becoming more and more susceptible to parasites and pests of all kinds, even in a park. In the park of the Villa dei Cedri in Bellinzona. 

The installation by the artist duo Hemauer / Keller with Monica Cantieni's monologues in the park shows the whole plight of our beech trees, which cannot cope with global warming, and gives the tree a voice; a self-confident, proud and angry one. 

By and with Christina Hemauer, Roman Keller and Monica Cantieni

INVENTIONS AGAINST HATE

NOT WITH US!

You want to tackle hate differently at your school. You would like to design a tool, a measure, a ‘safe space’ within your class or school that is sustainable and is developed and supported by your pupils for the school. As a text, as a workshop developed and carried out by a class, as a class novel, as a blog, as a conversation, as a play. The possibilities listed are examples.

«HOMELAND(S)»

Schule Teufental, September 2022

It was not difficult to fill the board. I asked the students to try to describe the topic of home/homelands, to put it into words. From hamsters to grannies, the X-Box, travelling and arriving, everything was there.

YOUR TEXT MY ADVICE

You have a jumble of notes, short texts, long ones, they are fictional or biographical; you have diaries, photos or both and are looking for the appropriate form for them, also the appropriate form of publicity....

THE IDEAL CITY

A school/class builds a city. It is portrayed on a website. But not only that: the aim is to be able to present some of it to local politicians, to launch a generation dialogue and also to implement the change. The prototype is ready. The fifth and sixth classes of the Marzili school in Bern have come up with great proposals. 

The city can be visited: Here. Click! (only german)

 

The workshop can be booked.
