Swarming Senses – Stadt in Resonanz neu erfahren

Die Kraft poetischer Bilder im öffentlichen Raum

How do we experience a place? What changes when we slow down, listen, and look more closely?

In this workshop, we explore public space through poetic means. Through perception exercises, wandering together, observing, quoting, and writing, we gather words, impressions, and inner images. From notes, fragments, and memories, short poetic texts emerge that make visible how places affect us — and how we ourselves appear within them.

Together, we ask: What stories does a place tell? Which voices do we hear, and which do we overlook? Which bodies become visible, and which are made invisible? What images do we carry within us — and what new images emerge when we encounter ourselves, others, and our surroundings with curiosity?

The workshop is understood as an anti-racist and intersectional space. No prior experience in creative writing is required. The focus is not on perfect texts, but on shared perception, writing, and listening.
