Freitagsküche als demokratischer Kunstraum – Design und Dialog im öffentlichen Raum

As part of WDC 2026, the Freitagsküche will be transformed into a total art display, which will be completely redesigned 3 times over the course of the year.

3 invited artists and designers will each, in turn, reshape the space and entrance area through immersive, large-scale interventions that engage with democratic processes. The interior walls will be extensively designed and wallpapered as part of these transformations. Each intervention will be accompanied by a curated programme devised by the artists, including readings, guest chefs, discussions and parties that further explore the thematic focus of their creative practice. The aim is to create a platform for dialogue between art, design and democracy – and what better place for that than over a delicious meal in the welcoming atmosphere of the Freitagsküche?
