Allotment Gardens Through Comparison

with Arba Bekteshi

30.03.2025 @ 14:00-16:00
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 in the frame of Arba Bekteshi’s walking residency participation.
