CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS: Special Issue of IJMM - International Journal of Music Mediation "Participatory Opera and Music Theatre" | In collaboration with SIMM (Social Impact of Music Making) | Deadline: 31 May 2026 • FID Darstellende Kunst

Is it #voodoo art? Is it a private colour therapy? I had been dealing with a chronically pinched sciatic nerve for quite some time, pain from hell. Then I saw this bone that my dog had found in nature. I wondered if my vertebrae could grin too like that. And I let myself be inspired. Red for the pain, of course. 😉 (The nerve isn't pinched anymore). Artists: My dog, an unknown animal, and me.

Throwback Tuesday

Since our last project in Finland has now been completed, I will be sharing images from past events that took place as part of our project series PRESERVED at irregular intervals from now on.

Apfelblüte / Apple Blossom

This intervention also took place during our Artist Residency in the city of Monheim am Rhein (Germany). PRESERVED // Schwemmland / Monheim am Rhein was realized in 2021 and explored how the land on which the city of Monheim was founded had developed over centuries of interaction with human activity. It investigated which plants grew and have been cultivated, which species have shaped the cultural identity of the region, and what traces of them could still be found today. The focus lied on creating a bridge between the past and present.

In the intervention "Apple Blossom" we hand pollination apple trees in the meadow orchards of Haus Bürgel, Monheim am Rhein. After the use of pesticides led to massive insect die-off in parts of China, many fruit orchards there now have to be pollinated by hand. In Germany, this practice still plays a minor role; however, with the ongoing decline of bee populations, it could become a reality here as well.

The project was realized within the frame of Kunst-Camp at Kunstwerkstatt Turmstrasse in Monheim am Rhein.

Many Hands United
Many Hands United

You're all familiar with the phenomenon: someone proudly shows a huge patchwork quilt (you only have the patience for a napkin-sized piece), or has built a cupboard (you…

Steady

'Whatever you do, it can work as social glue, become a visible political protest. But the best of all: in participating, you are no longer isolated, you became part of a group or movement. And all these tiny parts form something big enough that others can’t overlook it any more.'

Why I love #craftivism and #participatoryArt: Many Hands United ▶️ https://steady.page/en/naturematchcuts/posts/f4d867f5-4e6e-408d-b31b-5a3d1fb5f170

Have a bad feeling of being overwhelmed? Yes, this is an attic find made by me. I even don't remember what I wanted to knit. 😅

I need weeks to embroider a simple image. Then came a project of #participatoryArt. We were 20 women. And I learnt what many hands united can achieve, even in politics! It became a source of #happiness! ▶️ https://steady.page/en/naturematchcuts/posts/f4d867f5-4e6e-408d-b31b-5a3d1fb5f170

Résidence photographique à Longwy, autour de la thématique de l’immigration, en collaboration avec la photographe Nabila Halim. 



Avec #longwyvivra nous souhaitons partager notre travail, mais aussi vous inviter à partager votre histoire sur Longwy.

[plus d’infos sur notre projet] La ville de Longwy a une histoire intimement liée avec celle de la sidérurgie. Ville des luttes ouvrières, ville de migration. Il ne reste aujourd’hui presque plus de trace de cette histoire. De janvier à juin 2021 nous réaliserons avec Nabila Halim un travail photographique et sonore avec les habitant•e•s de Longwy et les 4e D du collège Vauban autour de la thématique de la migration. Cette belle aventure est possible grâce à l’association Caranusca et la ville de Longwy.

A photographic residency in Longwy on the theme of immigration, in collaboration with the photographer Nabila Halim. 



With #longwyvivra we want to share our work, but also invite you to share your story about Longwy.

[Some information about our project]: The history of Longwy is closely linked to that of the steel industry. A town of workers' struggles, a town of migration. Today, almost no trace of this history remains. From January to June 2021, together with Nabila Halim, we will carry out a photographic and sound project with the residents of Longwy and students of Vauban Middle School, exploring the theme of migration. This wonderful adventure is made possible thanks to the Caranusca Association and the city of Longwy.

Am 25. Juni 2025 eröffnet die Ausstellung „Imagining Piece“ im Künstler*innenhaus in Wien.
Meine Arbeit dort, mit Titel „Happy Orbit 2025“ hat als Ausgangspunkt Handlungsanweisungen von Yoko Ono, aus dem Buch Acorn:
Exemplarisch hier das Schlussstück:
„Jeder Planet hat seine eigene Umlaufbahn. Stell dir deinen Nächsten als Planeten vor. Manchmal ist es schön, sie nur anzusehen, wie sie kreisen und glänzen.“

[journal de terrain, Longwy, semaine 3] La découverte 


J’aime commencer une nouvelle résidence, rencontrer un lieu pour les premières fois, amorcer un nouveau terrain. Tout semble incroyable, nouveau. Incapable de différencier le quotidien, de l’anecdotique, de l’incroyable, tout est surprenant. La moindre trace est sujette à interprétation, la moindre trace est un indice (souvent trompeur) pour tenter de comprendre ce territoire nouveau.


[Quelques informations sur notre projet] : de janvier à juin 2021 nous réaliserons avec Nabila Halim un travail photographie et sonore avec les habitant•e•s de Longwy et les 4e D du collège Vauban autour de la thématique de la migration.

[field note, Longwy: week 3] Discovery
Discovery I love starting a new residency, meeting a place for the first time, starting a new field. Everything seems incredible, new. Unable to differentiate between the everyday, the anecdotal, the incredible, everything is surprising. The slightest sign is open to interpretation, the slightest sign is a clue (often misleading) to trying to understand this new territory.
