As part of ReRouting’s curations-in-motion, various actions and events are organized, inviting publics to join our program and connect with others along the way. At times, the actions are independently initiated, simply bringing bodies to a place and within an artistic context framed by moving together. Other times, the walk actions act as an extension to an already existing exhibition or are conceptualised in partnership with other cultural spaces and initiatives.

Meeting point: Tempelhofer Feld, Neukölln
Thresholds, frontiers and borders are everywhere. In our cities, on our maps, and yes, right at the edge of our picnic blankets. So why do we so rarely pull them onto the table and properly question them? What is out there? – Traces, Borders Spaces is not your average Sunday stroll. It’s a collaborative walking as learning from practice, grounded in place. Settled on a picnic blanket in the layered landscape of Tempelhofer Feld – probably Berlin’s most fiercely defended common ground – we ask: Who sets the table? Who gets a seat? And who decides what’s being served?

Meeting Point: Rummelsburger Ufer, Lichtenberg
You begin as a raindrop in a cloud. Flowing Streams is a water-themed board game in progress. You are invited to co-develop the rule system and game play, using a board and set of icons as prompts. Participants are encouraged to informally create and test new rules and objectives as a way of thinking about the cultural, industrial and meteorological roles of waters.

Meeting point: Moritzplatz, Kreuzberg - Aufbau Haus
Puddles emerge wherever humans leave their traces; they are part of the city. Mirja Busch has conceived Puddle Watching as an artistic walk that frames puddles anew and makes selected puddles around Berlin’s Moritzplatz visible, visitable and tangible-even in their dry state. The walk offers a new perspective on this weather phenomenon in interplay with the city.

Meeting Point: Topography of Terror
This walk invites you to a cross and connect together through threshold spaces of Mitte. Stacked with memory culture and vibrant erasure at the same time this passage in the political, historical and touristic center of the city will be approached with affection, patience and grief. Centuries of violence condensed in Disneyfication of historical anecdotes and cherry-picked victories. We will walk, pause, read, rethink, recognize and emerge transformed.

Meeting point: Memorial for the Victims of National Socialist »Euthanasia« Killings, Tiergarten
Four crip comrades gather around the Aktion T4 memorial, to share annotations in disabled life, and mourn those who have been murdered. Calling on crip knowledges from the past, we learn how disabled people have shifted our mourning practices for the violences of National Socialism euthanasia into public memory, and draw on the wisdom of our crip ancestors to question the politics of disposability of disabled bodyminds in their current local and global entanglements. On our way through Tiergarten, we walk along the question of how to foster a transnational axis of solidarity and we lie down together to dream up futures that we actually want.

Meeting Point: Priesterweg S-Bahn
What narratives can be subverted by focusing on the role of gardens as catalysts for urban development rather than on establishment buildings?
Departing from a comparison to Tirana, gardens in Berlin are separated from the house and placed elsewhere, making for different ways of inhabiting the space. Allotment and community gardens in Berlin constitute fragmentary instances of what being in the garden can be. Join us in an embodied walk as we explore the urban ecologies of Berlin’s allotment gardens as we walk around the Roseneck, Einigkeit, Alte Ziegenweide and Canova colonies, and reflect on themes of affect, care and sensorial commons.
This event is supported by Culture Moves Europe.

Meeting point: Altes Museum, Bodestr. 1-3, 10178, Berlin
“We need stories that are just big enough to gather up the complexities and keep the edges open and greedy for surprising new and old connections.” Staying with the Trouble, Donna J. Haraway
The Amazons welcome you in the space they have long inhabited in the city: the Altes Musuem. Through an ecofeminist and decolonial lens, you will be invited to engage with the ancient warrior women, the legendary tales about them, and their home in Berlin—probably not their dream home, though.

From Bärenzwinger to Flussbad Garten, Berlin
The walk invites participants to move together to the rhythms of the water and share stories of waterways from both near and far. The Spree becomes a catalyst to weave connections with sources of water that have shaped culture, art, music, history, and more, reflecting on how they influence memory and imagination. The walk is led by Viviane Tabach and Clementine Butler-Gallie as part of ‘Day on and along the River’ an extension of Bärenzwinger’s exhibition ‘By Way of Water’.

As part of Floating University’s Free Radicals Residency on the invitation of Co-Making Matters, Berlin
The workshop took place in sessions across 2 weeks, inviting participants to explore what a "footnote" to their practice could be and how these ideas could be shared through a group walk. The sessions focused on practical, collective learning, using movement and shared exploration as methods of exchange. The workshop ended with a public presentation of footnotes across the Floating University site.

Radical Playgrounds, Martin Gropius Bau/Berliner Festspiele, Berlin
There are many ways to walk, with each mode offering different ways of seeing what surrounds us. This workshop disrupts the role of leader with the group determining the routes, speeds, and motions of how we ‘walk through’ the Radical Playgrounds site.

Reflecting on a text by Walter Benjamin where he writes in response to a work by Paul Klee ‘The storm irresistibly propels him into the future to which his back is turned, while the pile of debris before him grows skyward. This storm is what we call progress.’
Taking this as a footnote from her time as walking resident, Mozh Dinani invites the group to walk backwards into the future.

Frankfurter Allee 111, 10247, Berlin
Volatile Grounds is a sound piece by Nour Sokhon that uses recordings from Lebanon to explore issues of waste management and land reclamation in the region. This sound walk invites the audience to leave the exhibition space and enter its direct surroundings, a Berlin shopping mall, to further consider along with the artist the larger topic of consumption.

Meeting point: Dokumenta 15 location ‘Compost Heap’ in Karlsaue park, Kassel
An invitation for visitors of Dokumenta 15’s opening week to meet and listen to one another’s experiences of the project. Prior to the walk, participants are invited to record a sound from something experienced whilst exploring. A collective listening is proposed as an attempt to find nodes of experience in such a vast exhibition, followed by in-motion conversation through the park.
