"Den Faden Verlieren" exhibition - 11-07-2026.
Still dreaming about the magical event we brought to life last month.

Wonderful pictures from: Isabelle Ostlund @isabelleostlund by @amatomberli

$"And every time it happens" is a public intervention and installation where people are invited to meet and embroider together, an hybrid format between a workshop and a ceremony. In this project we explore the role of stitching in human history as a way to pass on knowledge, storytelling through thread and needle. How can we preserve knowledge from our ancestors? How do we access their blueprints on how to survive the fall of civilization? This is not its peak, capitalism has already fallen! Allowing to slow down the fractile rhythm of change, we try to digest the sorrow of war, make more space for feelings to be felt, linger in them. We wake up ancient grief through songs, songs that weep land stolen from their caretakers in Naples. 11.07.25 Stitchers: @alicja_fellfromthetree @felitume @seo.kunst @luci4m4rie Mentoring @anetteguther by @amatomberli$

Hands who care, hands who love,
Hands are wands,
Roots to the soul.
Hands are alchemists, waves of intentions,
Language and despair.

Hold yourself tight!

photos from the making of Windy Days this summer
warmly hosted by @hosekcontemporary
with dream constellation of @ceciliaxuetong @alexzgrr @lucaschuessler @marta__liisa @amatomberli @mari.bez.a

The inspiration for Windy Days begins in the obscure moments when oppression is revealed within the storms of history, like a breath of wind that dissolves what blocks our view and reveals unvoiced stories. The work commemorates those who disappeared, invoking historical dances of emancipation and remembrance such as Cueca Sola on Plaza de Mayo.

Windy Days unfolds in fragments, drawing on folk elements, oscillating between chaos and order, each initiated with a game rule. Like passing days, these fragments contain the moments when a social structure emerges and then fails, as is inevitable with time.

Do we have a choice in moments of historical change? Does chaos emancipate us from order, or does order emancipate us from chaos? After all, we are all human in the hurricane.

Little throwback to a 6 months journey that culminated with my master degree at @udkberlin. So many people, knowledge, hands and voices that have gathered and condensed into a thesis and the exhibition 'den Faden verlieren'. I learned the grace of asking for help and the magic of transforming grief into creative energy. Thank you for all the laughs, the heartbreaks and the long nights of talking in circles.
