Meridian I Urban. Curatorial Projects on Health presents five projects by international up-and-coming curators on the subject of “Health.” The projects artistically map the urban space of Berlin, using health-related motifs and identifying relationships between health and the lives of their visitors: they offer opportunities for alternative participation and identification. At various locations in Berlin, which can be regarded as especially interesting, conflict-ridden or significant for a healthy, urban life, they bring to light social, historical and cultural peculiarities.
The project
Referring to the unofficial twinnings that reflect Berlin’s current immigrant population instead of the official equivalents of the city, the project explores the city’s long tradition of urban horticulture and reveals ideas of health in the widest sense: as balance and imbalance as well as on a societal and personal level, looking at how people navigate and share resources within a city.

An installation as part of the 'Invisible Twinning' project, which explores different garden projects (Community, Intercultural, Allotment) that mirror the multicultural existence and experience in Berlin. The installation includes a video of project participants explaining how to cook recipes from different countries, and focuses on Neukölln as an area of multiculturality by inviting visitor...s to contribute to the project as well as to alter a maquette of an 'ideal allotment garden' according to their own ideas.
Eine Dokumentation als Teil des ‘Invisible Twinning’ Projekts, das unterschiedliche Gartenprojekte (gemeinschaftlich, interkulturell, Kleingarten) erprobt, die das multikulturelle Leben sowie damit verbundene Erfahrungen in Berlin widerspiegeln. Die Dokumentation beinhaltet ein Video, in dem man von Projekt-Teilnehmern erfaehrt, wie man Rezepte aus verschiedenen Laendern zubereiten kann. Der Fokus liegt hierbei auf Neukoelln als ein Kiez/Zentrum des Multikulturalismus. Die Besucher werden dazu ermuntert, am Projekt aktiv mitzuwirken sowie ein Modell eines ‘idealen kga’ gemaess ihrer eigenen Vorstellungen umzugestalten.

No way to get a KGA if we do not have parents, husbands, relatives or friends that already have one. There is a list of hundreds of people waiting for a KGA. We would probably be number 301 or something. Even if Invisible Twinning is a short term project, there is no way to avoid the queue, to have a small allotment for few months and give it back soon. "No way, at all".
