Moving Mass

building < against

What’s the weight of a ton when distributed amongst peers, handled and moved around with archaic DIY instruments? With Moving Mass we aim to bridge the concepts of The Right to the City, Commons, and Action-based research. We’ll be looking at Mass both as an assembly of people and as the physical opposite of a void. Gravity, leverage, torque; using bodies and mass as means of transgression. Aiming to achieve what’s seemingly impossible we won’t necessarily be.

Wharf Building Days

building < against in cooperation with urbanize!

The Wharf, the “construction site by the water,” is a place for building, learning, reading, planning, and resting. Over six construction days, we will work with you to build a vehicle for protest, which we will ceremoniously drive out at the end of the exhibition. No skills, more thrills.

Thur 2.10.2025 until Sat 4.10.2025 14.00 - 18.00, Thur 16.10.2025 until Fri 17.10.2025, 15.00 - 19.00, Sat 18.10.2025 15.00 - 17.30

Dyed-in-the-Wool

building < against in cooperation with urbanize!

In the workshop, we will first show a few fun “building materials” from the shelf, talk about protesting, and then work with clay, water, and wool ourselves in protest. This will take place in the shipyard. We want to pay special attention to the use of raw wool for all possible and impossible purposes in construction. The end result: wool paving stones, felt tiles, or even your own little “Wollbau” (cf. Folke Köbberling).

Early shift at the "Werft"

building < against in cooperation with AgidS and Jobtrain

Together with the young people, we will build in the "Werft". Based on the exhibition and the specific materials on the shelf, we will develop materials and props for the final move-out at the closing event. In the workshop, we explore the question of how (building) materials and protest are connected and how we ourselves can create and produce “revolutionary materials.” The focus is on the experiences and views of the young people themselves.

Practising Utopia: Speculative urban planning

Multimedia workshop on imagining and visualising the future of the city

This multimedia workshop uses speculation and simulation to explore the dynamics of city life. Firstly, participants share the most significant challenges they face, discussing potential solutions and their vision for the future of the city. The next phase brings these speculative ideas to life. Using a virtual city built in a gaming engine, participants design the neighbourhood of the future they have imagined.

Urban Poetry

building < against in cooperation with Augustin

We write, compose poetry, and make sense of the inconsistencies in the city. In a guided process, we create haikus, shortest stories, crossed-out poems, and collaborative typewriter poetry. In Romanian, German, Hungarian, French, English, and any other languages and symbols you bring with you. Everyone is welcome; writing experience is not a prerequisite.
