anarchy garden is a poem found at the bottom of a bramble garden. anarchy garden is a song whispered by the little ones on a rainy day. it teems and shelters, sneaks in, hides or denounces. it’s a source of magic. in collaboration with the floating university garden and its inhabitants, we invite you to bring your stories and creative processes into the collective to connect and celebrate. anarchy garden is meant to be chaotic and alive, so everyone is called upon and welcome to participate in making this event happen: to share knowledge, to initiate a jam session, to propose a performance, an installation, an atelier, a walk, a dance, to read a poem, to tell a story, to cook good food + infinite, or to be a silent observer.

30th, the core & the seeds from 11 am
for those who want to meet and create a core team, be part of the (des)organisation, start thinking about an installation, atelier or performance... either meditate within the space, bring ideas & prepare the space together for the big day. you’re invited to join us in the afternoon.

31st, anarchy garden meeting from 2pm until dusk.
the happening day is open to the public. you’re invited to join in, bring friends, creative tools, instruments, costumes + infinity.

The rainwater basin receives the rainwater runoff from the former Tempelhof Airport and adjacent Columbia Damm Road since the 1930s. After nearly 100 years of being an epicentre of CO2 emissions and toxic runoff associated with air travel, Floating e.V. Association constructed an experimental cultural, pedagogical and social space inside the rainwater basin with low-impact materials and water filtration systems.

Floating ruft zu einem sofortigen Waffenstillstand auf!

Seit zwei Wochen versucht der Floating e.V., ein Verein mit mehr als 50 Mitgliedern, die richtigen Worte zu finden und uns auf ein gemeinsames ausführliches Statement zu einigen.

Aber wir können in dieser Krise einfach keinen Konsens für eine passende Formulierung unter uns finden.

Also tut der Verein, was er eben tut: Wir öffnen den Ort für Diskurs, Aktion und Beisammensein.

Morgen, am Sonntag, den 29. Oktober um 12 Uhr laden wir Sie ein, sich uns im Floating Becken anzuschließen, um Schilder und Transparente zu basteln und Geld für humanitäre Hilfe zu sammeln.

Floating calls for an immediate ceasefire!
For the last two weeks, Floating e.V - an association of more than 50 members - has been trying to find the right words and to agree on a detailed statement.

But we simply cannot find a consensus on this crisis amongst ourselves.

So the association does what it does: We are opening the site for discourse, action, and hospitality.

Tomorrow, Sunday Oct. 29, 12pm we invite you to join us at Floating for an action to make signs and banners and to raise funds for humanitarian aid.

• Who knows what to cook from bananas, yellow Paprikas and Potatoes? Team yellow figured it out! The people were as diverse as the foodsaved ingredients, but just like a great jazz improvisation everything came into place by the end of the day.Nothing burnt, everything was cooked, all tasted good! We created a buffet of many endless flavours, that combined surprisingly well. At the end of the day we had dinner with around 40 people, many had second and third rounds, followed by a piece of cake and a communal fullpower cleaning session. What a success!
Music included sounds of Miles Davis, Ornette Coleman, John Coltrane, Alice Coltrane, Bill Evans and Charlie Parker: thanks to them too for making this a special day !

Wer weiß, was man aus Bananen, gelben Paprikas und Kartoffeln kochen kann? Team Gelb hat es herausgefunden! Die Leute waren so unterschiedlich wie die Zutaten, aber wie bei einer großen Jazz-Improvisation war am Ende des Tages alles an seinem Platz: Nichts ist angebrannt, alles war gekocht, alles hat geschmeckt! Wir kreierten ein Buffet mit unendlich vielen Geschmacksrichtungen, die sich erstaunlich gut kombinieren ließen. Am Ende des Tages aßen wir mit etwa 40 Personen zu Abend, viele machten eine zweite und dritte Runde, gefolgt von einem Stück Kuchen und einer gemeinsamen Aufräumaktion. Was für ein Erfolg!
Die Musik umfasste Songs von Miles Davis, Ornette Coleman, John Coltrane, Alice Coltrane, Bill Evans und Charlie Parker: auch ihnen müssen wir danken, dass sie diesen Tag zu einem besonderen gemacht haben!

"Day by Day" erkundet die Probleme der Identitätslosigkeit und Entwurzelung, die von Menschen erlebt werden, die vietnamesischer Abstammung sind, aber gegenwärtig auf kambodschanischem Gebiet leben oder gelebt haben. Während mehrerer Forschungsreisen in die Grenzgebiete zwischen Vietnam und Kambodscha im Jahr 2014 hörte und notierte Nguyễn Thị Thanh Mai, wie Menschen intime Erinnerungen teilten und von ihren Leben sprachen - Leben, die flüchtig und unsicher sind. Ihre Geschichten sind persönlich und dennoch berühren sie universelle Fragen nach Staatsbürgerschaft und Migration.

"Day by Day” explores issues of identitylessness and rootlessness experienced by people who are Vietnamese by birth or ancestry, but presently live or have lived on Cambodian territory. During several research trips to the border areas between Việt Nam and Cambodia throughout 2014, Nguyễn Thị Thanh Mai listened and recorded people sharing their intimate memories and speaking of their lives – lives that are ephemeral and uncertain. Their stories are personal yet intersect with universal questions of citizenship and migration.

“rain is indocile, a remembrance of the waters of dreams, overflowing modernity’s fixed imaginaries of water reduced to a commodity or to a mere substance: h2o”

when rain ceases, traces are left behind
how may we listen to these traces?

remembrances of the ~ reading rains workshop & the listening of its sonic traces. such a beautiful and nurturing weaving process that we –   & i – carried with . and that began long before, and that is the beginning of so much more together with others !!! 

fluid ecotonalism workshop is an experiential space where collaboration and diverse site-specific methodologies converge. guided by practices of interdependence, such as listening, voice, and memory, each workshop is a process of investigation, alteration, imagination, and foraging centered around specific bodies of water. in this instance, the focus is the rainwater basin of the tempelhofer feld.

the emphasis lay on the reading of sediments – all that can be listened to and felt. conversations with water were fostered by following its traces, having passed through diverse ecotones and layers of reality. employing tasseography, the interwoven folds between existence's dual sides (tzeltales) unfolded. we ventured into the waters of dreams...

THANK YOU all who were part of these happenings

so beautiful to see all these drops merging and transforming

Next Wednesday, UP International Network invites to UPON feminist practices for climate justice, a series of talks and get together for international urban practitioners at Floating University!

06.09. from 2:30 - 9:30pm
Join us on site and online:
https://us02web.zoom.us/j/83310155194?pwd=RUljd0h1eFMzdWRRVDk2bWYzM2w4Zz09

This year's edition focuses on (eco)feminist practices that enable the necessary and fair transformation of communities towards climate justice. Which strategies can we learn from initiatives taking action for right to the land, the protection of urban ecosystems, regenerative community practices and gender-orientated resistance? How can we develop social conducts that repel extractivist models in favor of caring patterns based on interspecific maintenance and interdependency?

We’re looking forward to talking with Nashi Mahtani from Yayasan Peta Bencana (Jakarta) [EN], Padmapani L. Perez Former Lead Strategist for Creative Collaboration from Agam Agenda (Quezon City) [EN], Geneviève Kinet, Leila Bensalem from Marais Wiels Moeras (Brussels) [FR], Laura Viviana Cala Mejía from Somos Bosque (Bogotá) [ES] and to experiencing an interactive practice format with Martha Hincapié Charry [EN, ES]. Froggy melodies will accompany the sundown, inviting to a joint slide into the evening.

UPON is a series of talks that reflects on urban practices from an inclusive, multilingual, context-bound and feminist perspective. As a platform for reciprocal exchange and collective research about urban practices in an international context, UPON connects artists, architects, urbanists and activists in Berlin and around the world
