Conversation Piece with Pia: Die Aktivistin in den Bäumen

Selten zuvor bestanden Protestcamps aus derartig vielen und großen Baumhäusern, die auf so komplexe Weise durch Traversen, Brücken und Netze miteinander verbunden waren wie im Rahmen der Protestaktion im Hambacher Wald. Klimaaktivist*innen haben dort seit 2012 mehrere Generationen von Baumhaussiedlungen errichtet, um die Abholzung des Waldes zur Erweiterung des Braunkohletagebaus zu blockieren. Wir sprechen mit HAMBI-Aktivistin Pia über ihre persönlichen Besetzungserfahrungen und ihren Lebensalltag in den Baumkronen. Protestcamps sind Versuche, das Zusammenleben auf eine neue, solidarische Grundlage zu stellen. Wie kann eine rebellische Gemeinschaft in den Bäumen im Rahmen einer Protestaktion alternative Perspektiven des Zusammenlebens eröffnen und wie verändert die Zeit in Protestcamps die eigenen Vorstellungen von Normalität?

MAK – Museum of Applied Arts

A stretch of forest occupied since 2012 on the boundary with the Hambach open-pit mine. Over the years elaborate structures have been built there, featuring suspension bridges, solar panels, and heating stoves. A new generation of interconnected tree houses were built after the site was cleared in 2018.

THE FORMAT CONVERSATION PIECES
We need to talk! In the art education format Conversation Pieces we will speak with artists, activists, scientists, and personalities from various fields about select objects from the MAK Collection. Conversation Pieces is dedicated to themes like diversity, feminism, participation or loneliness, symbiotic bodies, racism in collections, planet care, and much more. We use the MAK as a polyphonic place for the exchange of ideas and to engage in various sociopolitical discourses and problems that enable new perspectives on an extraordinary collection. Conversation Pieces can be understood as an impetus to make widespread pictorial worlds and narratives visible and to critically question them by talking about them together.
