HERZBERGE 2022
The first edition of ONSITE brought together 20 creators, artists, thinkers, and interdisciplinary practitioners from different countries who applied with an idea for a site-specific project or an action proposal to offer to the human and non-human inhabitants of the city neighbourhood of Herzberge in Berlin-Lichtenberg.
The residency included moments of collective processes where participants exchanged and worked on their artistic projects in relation to the group’s most urgent shared questions; and individual work periods, where each participant was free to use the time in collaboration with other participants or in the development of their individual research.
The results of the works and experimentations were presented during the three-day public event of the festival from 9 - 11 September 2022.

Museum Kesselhaus Herzberge
The historic boiler house at Königin Elisabeth Herzberge hospital is a European cultural heritage site. The museum showcases over a century of industrial technology and serves as a hub for deconstructivist ideas and innovative philosophies. The cultural program, rooted in the site's unique history, explores themes of diversity and continuous evolution, aiming to contribute to the "Third Landscape."
Museum Kesselhaus, with its strong ties to Herzberge and local networks, provides an ideal space for collaborative creativity. Its work blends traditional methods with "wild archaeology," treating the city, its social fabric, and even individual thoughts as sites of exploration. By connecting archival materials with those of various partners, the museum creates a vibrant, open cultural space. Through artistic interventions, a walk-in archive, and its cultural program, it reveals and interacts with existing elements, inviting artists to critically engage with and expand the collections.
Guest Artists - Facilitators
The invited national and international artists guide the shared and individual processes during focus sessions and ongoing labs. They provide practical help and methodological tools.
Brecha Coletivo / LABo
BRECHA and its educational platform LABo keep bringing together interdisciplinary creators through performative experiences, collaborative processes, and methodological investigations. Its founder, Patrick Sampaio, developed a collaborative, real-time creation technique called "Communal Traces", a set of theoretical-practical tools that help us examine group decision-making flows and the structuring of non-hierarchical paths to interweave relationships between people, materials, spaces, dramaturgical elements, and performative improvisations.
Gabriel Abreu is a writer and multidisciplinary artist. He is part of Brecha's Creative and Production Nucleus.
Radical Data
Radical Data are a research+do collective using the radical potential of data science through community-based art, activism and research. Run by performance artist/researcher Rayén Mitrovich and mathematician Jo Kroese, Radical Data combine data and technology to create tools for resistance and alternative utopias. During the residency, they will apply Rayén's framework of 'Intimate Art' to site-specific practices and develop an online platform for 'comapping', mapping from below by the people who use and live in a space.
Guerilla Architects
Guerilla Architects is a collective of artists based in Berlin. Issues of political, legal, and spatial grey zones are the focus of their spatial interventions and socially critical art projects. Being "guerrilla" is their approach to urban development. Contrary to the belief that you have to build big to create big value, the collective draws on unused potential - free resources - from the abundance and overproduction of urban society. Working with existing structures, often only minimally invasive interventions are required to give new meaning to previously invisible spaces.
K.I.E.Z. ToGo
K.I.E.Z. ToGo is a performance group and network initiative from Lichtenberg that reaches people directly with its theatre by involving associations, initiatives and residents in its projects and turning streets, pubs, shops and open spaces into performance venues. The association of artists and residents comes together in different constellations depending on the project, usually under the artistic direction of Christiane Wiegand, in a collective way of working and non-hierarchical process of creating.
