As part of Family Sunday at Haus am Waldsee, we will walk through the exhibition Beverly Buchanan. Weathering, with Ima-Abasi Okon together and explore the colourful drawings and wooden sculptures by artist Beverly Buchanan. Her small huts tell the story of how people use their strength and imagination to shape their homes and lives, and at the same time, the obstacles they encounter in doing so. Inspired by her work, you will then design your own huts. Who lives in your little house?

Max. 20 people. Ages 4 and up, accompanied by parents.

Booking information: A maximum of 2 tickets for adults and 4 tickets for children can be booked per transaction. For larger groups, we kindly ask you to make multiple bookings.

The Slow Looking format in the exhibition Beverly Buchanan. Weathering. with Ima Abasi-Okon gives participants a space to pause and consciously devote themselves to viewing a selected work of art. Guided by art therapists Naira Bloss and Ulla Utasch, participants do a short relaxation exercise in the exhibition space, calm down and take time to encounter the art. In a group discussion, participants are invited to share their own perceptions, associations and inner images. Afterwards, inspired by the exhibition visit, participants have the opportunity to create their own artwork in the studio*.

Zehlendorf is considered by many to be a green, quiet district – but traces of Germany’s colonial past can also be found here. On our decolonial tour, we want to make this history visible and ask ourselves:

What colonial interconnections still shape the district today?

How is colonial heritage manifested in public spaces – in street names, monuments or places of remembrance?

And how can we work together to create a decolonial culture of remembrance?

Together, we will explore various locations in Zehlendorf, hear stories of resistance and colonial violence, and discuss perspectives on a more equitable narrative of history. The tour invites participants to think, ask questions and learn together.

Decolonial city tours in Berlin impart knowledge about German colonial history and show how its legacy continues to shape our society and city today. The tours invite participants to reveal colonial continuities in urban spaces – individually, in teams or in organisations – and offer personal, flexible and impressive learning experiences.
