4 July 2026 15:00–18:00
5 July 2026 12:00–18:00
Artist duo Mono/mint, together with Khaelis, invite you to a participatory project and workshop (in German and English) that explores the boundaries between inside and outside through the lives of urban animals in Neukölln. Building on Mono/mint’s 2024 project in Schöneberg (where they co-created a speculative home for an urban fox with children and youth) they now expand this approach to Neukölln, focusing on a wider range of non-human inhabitants- the urban animals.
The Saturday's workshop centers on various animals that inhabit the city’s “outside” while being deeply embedded in its “inside”: its infrastructure, rhythms, and daily life.
During the festival, a workshop space will become a temporary "lab" where participants craft speculative homes for animals of their choice: quirky, playful, decorative, or kitschy.
Through building models, they will reimagine ideas of belonging - from an animal’s perspective then asking: What does “home” mean when safety, comfort, and identity are defined differently?
The results will be presented in a one-day exhibition on Sunday: a collective map of parallel interior spaces, revealing how the outside is always inscribed within. Boundaries become spaces for playful negotiation and imagination.
All materials will be provided, sustainably upcycled from cardboard, small wood, and other collected objects. Participants are invited to drop in and stay for about 1–2 hours; no sign-up is required. Everyone is welcome, regardless of age and skills. Spaces are limited, on "first come-first served" basis.

Biography
Mono/mint (Ivona Pelajic & Fredrik Stjernqvist), Khaelis
Mono/mint (founded in Berlin in 2021 by Ivona Pelajic and Fredrik Stjernqvist) is an artist duo creating participatory installations and workshops. Their practice merges research, play and participatory making in order to explore the boundaries between urban ecology and everyday life, mostly in public spaces. Focusing on children, local communities and non-human actors, they are developing speculative art projects.
Khaelis (Elisabeth Nurulaevna Khakimova) works with post-conceptual approaches, using diverse media such as objects, installations, text and spatial situations. Meaning arises from the relationships between these elements and their presentation in space. She studies Fine Arts at UdK Berlin in the class of Manfred Pernice.
