Floating Kids Manifest 2021

join forces
Workshop with Nicole Schuck (artist)

We stroll around and observe animals in their “floating living room”. We imagine ourselves to be one of these animals, for example a fox. What is it like to live as a fox in the Floating University? We record our experiences in experimental drawings and storytelling with each other.

Floating Climbing
Workshop with Thomas Meier, Benjamin Frick and Sabine Zahn

Who lives on the upper floors of the Floating? And how do we get there? With climbing professionals, the highest points were climbed: Flaoting was seen newly and new was seen from above.
