Be.longings — Happy Housing Tactics:

Doors that multiply? A home tied shut with a knot? An invitation to enter — or to leave?

At HKW for Be.longings, part of “And Now?! The Youth Housing Congress for Berlin”, where young voices take centre stage to rethink housing, belonging, and community. Developed by the Culture and Media Management program at Freie Universität Berlin and metaLAB(at)Berlin, in collaboration with metaLAB(at)Basel and .cc

“Every mirror in a home is a small cosmos, where the body rehearses its existence and learns to become an image of itself.” — Emanuele Coccia, Philosophy of the Home (2023)

Be.longings — Happy Housing Tactics:

Where does reflection live? What do we keep, fold away, or carry from place to place?

Sketches of illustrations by Joni Marriott, growing out of collective research for Be.longings, a workshop that asks how housing connects to emotion, identity, and care. Developed by metaLAB and continent. with students from Freie Universität Berlin. One of several creative workshops at HKW’s “And Now?!” Youth Housing Congress for Berlin — alongside mapping, printing, and poetry — this session invites participants to draw, write, and imagine futures of living that are affordable, shared, and alive.

“To inhabit means to digest: to make the world part of our own substance. Cooking is the alchemy through which the outside becomes us.” — Emanuele Coccia, Philosophy of the Home (2023)

Be.longings — Happy Housing Tactics:

A cup that overflows? A hallway that becomes a pool? Rooms that stretch and breathe like living things?

Part of “And Now?! The Youth Housing Congress for Berlin” at Haus der Kulturen der Welt (HKW) — a one-day festival where young people imagine new ways of living, together. Be.longings is our contribution: a workshop and installation about what makes a space feel like home, created with students of the Culture and Media Management program at Freie Universität Berlin, in collaboration with metaLAB(at)Berlin&Basel, and continent.

“The threshold is not a border; it is a zone of transformation, where the world becomes intimate and intimacy becomes world.” — Emanuele Coccia, Philosophy of the Home (2023)
