City of Creatures

The history of Berlin tells of plants, animals, fungi, and microorganisms.

Berlin is considered a green metropolis full of biodiversity. But the city's history remains incomplete if it is told exclusively from a human perspective. “City of Living Creatures” rewrites the history of Berlin. From the hydrogen-eating aromate devourer in contaminated groundwater to the marsh nettle from the glacial valley, a polyphonic audio narrative emerges with the voices of plants, animals, fungi, and microorganisms that have shaped and continue to shape the city. Organismendemokratie e.V. and the artist group Club Real invite you to two different bike tours through Berlin.

Please bring your own bike. The meeting point is the courtyard of Ballhaus Ost.

The artist group Club Real has been developing participatory performance projects since 2000. Installations, political multispecies formats and participatory urban development projects invite visitors to help shape alternative visions of reality. Since 2018 it has been about human relationships with all living beings, and since 2019, the Organisms Democracy exists on a green space at Osloer Straße, as a satellite venue of Ballhaus Ost.
