Taking place in Neukölln, the project curated by Kunstbüro Hohmann und Heid in an exhibition format will be on view for a duration of four days, presented in a few different locations. The spaces will be located within walking distance to each other and map the district with an alternative focus – the unused spaces. The exhibition addresses the phenomenon of limited accessibility to such vacancies in two ways: On the one hand, through the representation of critical confrontations in the form of artistic works and, on the other hand, by connecting and acknowledging the unused spaces in our urban environment.

Blühende Öde: Städtische Identitäten im Wandel suggests a tangible commentary on the exploration of urban space and its trans- formation in Berlin. The project reflects upon the existing and pandemic-related progressing extent of vacant spaces and interrogates the effects, but more so the potentials of this dynamic.
