ARRABIATI

ALBERI ARRABIATI / ANGRY TREES

 

What if a copper beech could speak? - About the stress it is under as the heat and drought increase, that it can no longer drink, that it is no longer growing, that its rings are getting thinner and thinner and that it is becoming more and more susceptible to parasites and pests of all kinds, even in a park. In the park of the Villa dei Cedri in Bellinzona. 

The installation by the artist duo Hemauer / Keller with Monica Cantieni's monologues in the park shows the whole plight of our beech trees, which cannot cope with global warming, and gives the tree a voice; a self-confident, proud and angry one. 

By and with Christina Hemauer, Roman Keller and Monica Cantieni

Zu Gast in Aschersleben

März 2025

Eine Kleinstadt in Sachsen-Anhalt. Das Leben für viele nicht einfach. Der Westen, der auf den Osten herabschaut, der Osten, der sich als Opfer sieht. Weltbilder, die aufeinander prallen und eine Politik, die sich das teilweise zunutze macht. Die Kurzgeschichte «Veränderungen» greift diese Themen auf.

Macht man sich als Autorin gemeinhin beliebt damit? Nein. Ist die Diskussion eröffnet? Ja. 

Was gibt es Schöneres für Kunst, wenn sie das kann – und wenn sie das darf?

«HOMELAND(S)»

Schule Teufental, September 2022

It was not difficult to fill the board. I asked the students to try to describe the topic of home/homelands, to put it into words. From hamsters to grannies, the X-Box, travelling and arriving, everything was there.

YOUR TEXT MY ADVICE

You have a jumble of notes, short texts, long ones, they are fictional or biographical; you have diaries, photos or both and are looking for the appropriate form for them, also the appropriate form of publicity....

THE IDEAL CITY

A school/class builds a city. It is portrayed on a website. But not only that: the aim is to be able to present some of it to local politicians, to launch a generation dialogue and also to implement the change. The prototype is ready. The fifth and sixth classes of the Marzili school in Bern have come up with great proposals. 

The city can be visited: Here. Click! (only german)

 

The workshop can be booked.
