In Hiding

Numerous refugees with cognitive and physical disabilities from various crisis regions around the world attended this workshop, including those from Ukraine, Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan. Most of them have found a new, safe home in the Johannesstift residential community. The workshop aimed to help them familiarise themselves with their new neighbourhoods in the event of a disaster. Topics explored included flight and concealment, security and surveillance architecture, and invisibility and camouflage strategies in urban spaces. The focus was on artistic practices from the fields of photography, video, performance, public space interventions and cartography.

Works created during the workshop were presented by the participants at several inclusive art exhibitions in Berlin.
