zollo am feuer

A 12-hour performative gathering at ZOLLO with Nuriye Tohermes, Sibylle Peters und Nova Sprrrk, Hamburg, 2023

A fire burns for twelve hours in front of ZOLLO. Around it, stories are shared — of other fires, past and present. Of the eternal fire of the Nomadic Garden Project in London, warming bankers and homeless people alike. Of clay-pot fires in Indonesian Ankringan tea carts. Of the flames kindled by striking piqueteras* in Buenos Aires.

These stories trace the power of fire to create a third space — a space of encounter, solidarity, and transformation, where histories, struggles, and imaginaries meet and mingle.
