In the context of the 70th anniversary of documenta, the Fridericianum is presenting an extraordinary project by the artist Cosima von Bonin, who was born in Mombasa in 1962 and now lives in Cologne. It is about creativity, community and celebratory moments, but also about references to the history of art and documenta as well as social interaction. The central artistic element is a chain of pennants, whose flags are not the usual triangular shape, but the silhouette of a palm tree, which can also be found in other works by the artist. All residents of Kassel - children, young people and adults - are invited to decorate their city together with the chains of pennants. In this way, as many people as possible will be integrated into the unusual art project and participate in the experience. The Fridericianum will organize workshops, activities, performances and concerts to accompany the project, opening up a conversation about art, creativity and the city and facilitating encounters and exchanges.
