Conversation: Learning from Weeds with C.C. McKee and Colleen Ndemeh Fitzgerald

 

Place: diffrakt, Crellestraße 22, 10827 Berlin
Time: 11/03/2026, 19:30



What can we learn from weeds? What role have Western scientific traditions played in constructing categories such as “invasive” or “useful” plant species? Together with C.C. McKee and Colleen Ndemeh Fitzgerald, we will discuss how colonial power relations have shaped botanical narratives and how alternative, relational perspectives on plants might open up new ways of thinking and living together. In this conversation, “weed” is understood not only as a botanical category, but also as a political and epistemic concept that touches on questions of belonging, control, and resistance.

Los Tres Puntos celebrates its Berlin premiere with a screening in the presence of the cast and filmmakers Ellinor Aurora Aasgaard & Zayne Armstrong.

Performative reading by Lucila Pacheco Dehne (in German) in collaboration with alpha nova & galerie futura

Place:  alpha nova & galerie futura, Am Flutgraben 3, 12435 Berlin
Time: 29/01/2026, 19:00


 Tea For Thousands (A Manifesto For Weeds) is a performative reading in which the stories of different weeds come together. A narrative written as a manifesto recalls the plants that were historically banned because they were used for contraception and abortion, reflecting on the plants that humans discarded as weeds, despite their healing powers. As we  look ahead to the future, we consider the extent to which these plants could create  new systems in which they, and other living beings, could autonomously make decisions for themselves and their own rights.

Wildpinkler*innen. Collective outdoor action by Daniela Medina-Poch, FLINTA waters and weeds (in English)

Place: Entrance to Kunstraum Kreuzberg/Bethanien,  Mariannenplatz 2, 10997 Berlin
Time: 11/8/2025 at 16:27



Peeing in public space and the life of weeds are closer than you might think. To find out, we invite you to relax, release, and make yourself at home alongside bushes and weeds. Together, we may answer the following questions and formulate new ones: How can the feral qualities of weeds inspire our bodies? What is the sonic composition of our pee? Can we form a collective stream of water? shuuuuusuuuuishui



One afternoon in November, we gathered in an exhibition space to drink, to tell each other stories about peeing in public, to go outside and pee together among many weeds, and then to drink again, this time in a bar. In this audio piece, the waters from that event flow between stories told afterwards by some who attended and others who wanted to attend but could not. With partial anonymity, those who recognize the voices will be able to identify the authors of the stories.

Of Roses [how to embody the layers of time] (2021) by Eve Tagny

Film Screening und Artist Talk (in English) in collaboration with Xanadu
Place: Xanadu, Altenbraker Straße 18, 12053 Berlin
Time: 15/10/2025 / Entry 19:00, Screening 19:30



 In Of Roses [how to embody the layers of time] (CAN 2021, 65 Min.), Tagny traces the colonial history of rose cultivation, showing how this emblem of beauty was shaped by imperial trade, botanical displacement, and extractive gardening practices. The film probes how roses embody entanglements of power, desire, and belonging across histories of cultivation and control.

Uglier, Louder, Taller, Weirder – Hearing the Weeds grow / Das Unkraut wachsen hören ist die zweite Ausstellung im Rahmen des Projekts Louder, Taller, Uglier, Weirder – Learning from Weeds / Von Unkraut lernen, die das Unkraut aus dem Schatten des Dickichts holt und es ins Zentrum einer neuen Erzählung stellt. Unkraut erscheint hier nicht nur als Untersuchungsgegenstand, Medium oder Metapher, sondern wird zu einem aktiven Prinzip, zu einem selbstbestimmten Adjektiv und Verb. Wir fragen: Wann ist etwas, eine Handlung, ein Zustand „verunkrautet“? Was bedeutet es, aktiv zu „unkrauten“ in Kunst, in Institutionen, in Sprache und im Alltag?
