Instagram web blog When we explored the location of the pop-up store at 2 Bernward street and analyzed the affordances of its interior and exterior characteristics, it became clear, that we should produce an event banner in addition to other event communication media. Of course, we didn’t have a PR team who would design and produce such a thing (or flyers and posters for that matter). We just had to learn on the spot how to do this and we did. The performance location and th

Instagram On June 17, a day before opening, we welcomed a group of national city planner visionaries and administrators, participants of the transfer workshop "Mix or competition?! On living, working and producing in city centers" of the urban development program "Lively Centers" that took place June 16-17, 2026 at the Roemer- und Pelizaeus-Museum Hildesheim.

This could take many forms, including business interactions and literally paying back to the Hildesheim community via purchasing services and goods but also friendly invitations to participate in our “Unlearn the

In some bakeries in Hildesheim one can purchase a "Kameruner". This word in its most innocent meaning simply refers to a person from Cameroon or a person of Cameroon descent (as happens to be in my family, with Cameroon-German family members). When I saw the plain-twisted doughnut-like thing I wondered why it was called "Kameruner". I asked around and people told me that it's probably just like another doughnut-like baking good called "Berliner". People in Berlin, however, ca

At 2 Bernward street in Hildesheim there are three stores, one of which used to be a jewelry store but has been sitting empty for a while. As a result, this space was made available to our project "Unlearn the Apparatus" as a temporary rehearsal, performance and exhibition space. We are very grateful for this opportunity. This was made possible through the involvement of Julius Heinicke and Daniel Gad, Institute for Cultural Policy at the University of Hildesheim. Daniel Gad
