The BEWEGUNGSBAUSTELLE is a mobile play and movement facility. Using simple materials such as boards, crates, ropes or pipes, children create and use creative adventure landscapes themselves. It's not about right or wrong - but about courageous experimentation, creative rethinking and shared experiences. The project promotes motor skills, self-confidence and social behavior, offers space for free decisions and creative processes, is inclusive, low-threshold and open to all children. It creates a generous connection between play, education and community.
The BEWEGUNGSBAUSTELLE is part of the project Holding up the sky. In cooperation with www.bewegungsbaustelle.berlin, we are opening up educational spaces - initiated by Psychomotorikverein Berlin & Brandenburg e.V., made possible and implemented by Spore team member João Albertini at Spore Initiative.
About the project
Holding up the sky: An exhibition space for an open, solidary conviviality
April 2025 — March 2026
For Holding up the sky, the studio at Spore Initiative became a platform for intergenerational solidarity and cultural creation - the anchor for an extensive program that unfolded around it. Concepts such as childhood, adultism and family beyond normative ideas were explored from different perspectives. Above all, the voices of children and young people who shape the activities were heard. The artist Isra Abdou invited everyone ALL to fill the sky with color. Take a foil, cut, glue and design. Immortalize yourselves and become part of a growing blanket of sky. A place that bears your traces. A sky that sees you. Together, we created an appreciative space for free play, bold ideas and development in motion.
The image of holding up the sky comes from the understanding, especially of indigenous communities, that the sky will fall to earth at the end of time: Song, dance and magical experiences - in other words joy and lightness - have the power to hold it up, to make it float.
