About this Event

You are invited to take part in an interactive audiowalk by the Autoplot collective. Their project "Mapping stories" are about a playful and accessible installation, a kind of course that deals with questions of identity and its circumstances and tries to make them tangible for as many participants as possible. The focus of the concept is the imagery of the bridge and the map, as well as the basic assumption that people do not appropriate their surroundings, but are in constant exchange with it and leave traces. Traces in the form of stories.

The stories are based on interviews with diverse people living and working in Berlin. The focus of the audiowalk is on opportunities for the participants to meet and to not meet. Together we try to dive into different narratives like stories we tell ourselves (inner narratives), stories we are told (societal narratives, stories we know (cultural narratives), stories we share (familial and community narratives) and hopefully stories to guide us (narratives for the Future).

For participating please take your phone and your earphones with you to enjoy the sound design by Autoplot. In case you forget your device, we have some spare ones for you.'

Autoplot is a group with international artists. They are a collective of 5 members who come from different directions (direction, scenography, stage and costume design, music, philosophy) and work together on the concept, the performance and the direction. You are not focused on the goal or the end product, but on the process. They want to develop during the projects and discover new forms through space and sound.

THE PATH: A Participatory Public Art Project

What do we experience in the metropoles of today’s world and what do the metropoles experience? Amidst all the flux of migration, gentrification and rapid urban change is the metropole able to contain us and vice versa? What if the paths we take every day start from nowhere and lead nowhere? Is it a togetherness that we experience or is it an 'otherness´' with a potential? What are the results, alternatives, solutions and what can art´'s role be in this process?

THE PATH is a multidisciplinary art project that problematises the relationship between the metropole and the individual from a queer, feminist point of view. Inspired by the pedestrian bridges over the highways in İstanbul, the participatory public installation at Tempelhofer Feld by Umut Azad Akkel invites the participants to an experience simulating the complex character of our co-existence with/within/despite the metropole.

Similarly, the events designed and planned around the conceptual basis of the installation, that will take place at Tempelhofer Feld and at Oyoun will create an experiential and intellectual hub for analyzing our complex being within/with/despite the metropole. The overall perspective of the series of events will be approaching the theme from multiple views and raising critical questions about all its complexity. The focus will be Berlin and Istanbul as two interrelated metropoles and the flux of migration between the two with its implications and possible historical as well as recent meanings.

The Path project was produced by Oyoun in collaboration with Umut Azad Akkel (IG: @azadonfires) as artistic director and Şehnaz Layıkel (IG: @sehnazlayikel) as lead curator. It was funded by the Lotto Stiftung and UdK KKWV.
