SOUP3 - Gathering

18 August 2022 18:00 - 21:00

Free of charge

We invite you to drink soup with us!

After our “Open Call” on the SOUP3 project a few weeks ago, numerous activists and artists from the neighborhood applied with their great ideas. Three selected project groups want to tell you their ideas over a cup of soup!

We were very enthusiastic about your contributions and are now happy to share them publicly. There are projects from the neighborhood and on different topics. For example, Ina & Nhu want to start a ceramics club, while Tazir and Ahmed want to raise awareness about the current situation in Libya. Faroukh, on the other hand, wants to use a mobile kitchen to cook recipes from home and bring the neighborhood together.

SOUP3 aims to revitalize the power of collaborative knowledge systems and fuse them with creative and feminist approaches to entrepreneurship.

It works primarily with displaced and marginalized communities, whose voices are often not heard. By using creative coping mechanisms, they address the challenges they face every day. Their knowledge is regularly overlooked and underestimated. This project aims to redefine our understanding of creativity.

Participants are invited into an interdisciplinary, transnational ecosystem of exchanges that amplifies their voices and their power by providing them with seed capital, training and connections to develop and test creative, artistic and socio-cultural solutions. SOUP3 is based on the principles of inclusion, empowerment and solidarity. The partnership creates a dialogic bridge between rural East Germany and urban Athens, Greece.

_Ina & Nhu

Inaand Softhave started a ceramic club. They are ceramics enthusiasts who volunteer time to share their knowledge.

Their "keramiklub" invites everyone who is interested in working with clay. The workshops are not about making the perfect bowl, but about getting a feeling for the material clay, experimenting with it, letting your imagination and play run free.
The contents of their workshops are: Introduction to the theory of the world of pottery, the basics of pottery with different construction techniques, as well as glazing the ceramics.

Pottery courses tend to be quite expensive and can therefore be a financial barrier for people. Ina and Nhu offer donation-based workshops to make working with clay accessible to everyone. 

Working with clay slows things down and can have a therapeutic effect. In addition, the artists want to promote cultural diversity and neighborly exchange and the making of new friendships in Neukölln by making pottery together. That's why Ina and Nhu organize community potluck dinners, where the participants enjoy culinary delights from their pottery dishes - because pottery and eating together connects!

_Farokh

Farokh Falsafi is an architect and researcher working between architecture and art in public space and the urban landscape. With the question of the public in his work, Farokh attempts to expand artistic practices in a social context. 

All steps of food preparation - from gathering the ingredients to preparing and combining them - can be viewed as a social practice, with the microsocial environment functioning as the body and all the movements that take place during the process. TAÁWONI KITCHEN is a cooking platform, a flying and moving kitchen that invites people to share their recipes and knowledge.
