Workshops

In commemoration of the 250th anniversary of Caspar David Friedrich and the 25th anniversary of the Michael Succow Foundation in Greifswald, the foundation is extending an invitation to partake in four open-air art workshops.These workshops offered cultural enthusiasts the chance to engage with new artistic perspectives on the drained mire landscape of the Steinbeckervorstadt Polder. Curated by artists Juliane Tübke and Alison Darby, poet Siljarosa Schletterer, and painters Lene Schwarz and Anett Simon, each workshop was thoughtfully designed for the citizens of Greifswald. While diverse in their artistic approaches, the facilitators shared a common goal: to make invisible knowledge tangible and reflect on contemporary life within the mire.


These workshops are now archived, and we're currently in the process of developing new ones within the evolving framework of WETBEINGS.
