At WELTSTUDIO spezial in BERLIN GLOBAL, you can create your own maps. Show your favourite places, imaginary worlds, or locations that exist only in your imagination. Together with artist Luisa Walther, you can try tufting. Using colourful wool threads, you’ll work directly into fabric and help create a large shared map. Do you enjoy working with colour? Then marble your own miniature globe. Dip a white sphere into water and paint to create a unique pattern. Every globe turns out differently, and you can take yours home with you.
In the reading lounge, actor Jessica Cuna will read stories about travel and the world at 12 noon and 2:30 pm. You can also explore picture books, atlases, and books about maps, cities, and the world. For younger children, there is plenty of space to crawl, play, and discover.
Drop in for a short visit or stay all day. All activities are open to everyone and invite you to join in.
Languages: German and English. Our guides also speak Spanish, French and some Turkish. If you would like support in one of these languages, please feel free to speak to our facilitators on site.
Participants
Jessica Cuna is a permanent ensemble member at Theater an der Parkaue in Berlin-Lichtenberg. Born in Leipzig to German and Mozambican parents, she grew up in Berlin.
Artist and social worker Luisa Walther lives and works in Berlin. Her interdisciplinary practice brings together textile art, painting and video, engaging with social, cultural and feminist themes. Residencies in Bologna and New York deepened her knowledge of textile arts and shaped her participatory approach. She is fascinated by textiles as quiet witnesses to history, carrying stories of women and serving at once as a means of expression, remembrance, resistance, pride and identity.
