TNOC Festival 2024

Authors from the book, ‘Urban Natures: Living the More-than-Human City’ will discuss the need to shift to a more-than-human perspective; the power of imagining new relationships and cityscapes; and the importance of introducing cross-disciplinary, -sectoral, and -cultural perspectives to envision this change. Contributors will aim to produce an ‘urban manifesto’ towards realizing what a more-than-human city could look like.

To visit sites of diverse urban natures across Berlin prompting discussion between hosts, stakeholders and participants about the relationships, politics and possibilities for human/nonhuman co-existence in cities. This field trip seeks to ground and extend the urban manifesto drafted in the seed session, ‘What does a more-than-human city “look” like?’, through participation with attendees and site representatives in Berlin’s cityscape.

We will meet at the gates of Atelier Gardens at 9.30am and finish at 12 noon near UllsteinStr. there is a bus that runs to Herrmannstr. to return. The walk is around 2.5km and covers paved paths, grassy surfaces and some uneven ground. There is one place with steep steps going down, and then back up again (though this section could be skipped). There are no toilets on the route. Please dress for the weather.

The group will meet at Atelier Gardens at the Yellow Building near the coffee shop inside the yellow building.
