KlimaKunstLabor: A Day of Workshops

  • ZK/U 27 Siemensstraße Berlin, BE, 10551 Germany (map)

KlimaKunstLabor (Climate Art Lab) is an experiment that brings science, art, and community activism to the small public park Moabiter Stadtgarten in Berlin, in order to question humanity’s impact on Nature and address ways we can collaborate for a more climate-friendly future.

On 18 September 2022, several free hands-on workshops will be offered to the general public, including two led by The Ambeessadors:

Lawns = Yawns. Let’s create a more sustainable wildflower meadow!
Spring blooms, summer matures and autumn finally sets the table. The vegetation of Moabiter Stadtgarten already has a lot to offer; nevertheless, in some areas, wild nature could be given higher priority and more care. Following a global trend in sustainability and pollinator conservation, we'll convert a 80m2 parcel of grassy lawn into a colorful, native wildflower meadow that will provide food and shelter for the little critters that help make 70% of the food we eat. Which wildflowers provide them with the most nectar and pollen? Why have specific species of plants been selected? Why is a wildflower meadow preferable to a lawn? Together with Steve Rogenstein from The Ambeessadors, a bee expert and conservationist from Moabit, and Tash from Avant Garden Life, a self-sufficient herbalist, forager and artist, we'll create seed bombs — one for you, one for the bees! — and prepare and plant a section of the meadow as a pilot program for potential future expansion.
