Discussions and lectures
About event
Following the lecture by Daniel Neugebauer and Kate Brehme On safe space (https://fb.me/e/5V8yVCl9o), we invite you to the participatory workshop Bodies in Relation: Collective Practices for Temporary Community.
During it, the participants will move from reflection to a practical investigation of what a "safe space" can be if it is shaped by sensory experience and shared presence. Through guided exercises that include touch, sound, movement and stillness, they will work together to create temporary communities centered on accessibility, care and relationality.
Based on crip and queer approaches*, the workshop approaches safety not as a fixed state, but as a dynamic process shaped by mutual negotiation – a process that emerges through attention to the body and mind, difference and interdependence. Together we will experiment with how spaces can be perceived, transformed and maintained, even if only for a moment.
The workshop is for a maximum of 30 people, registration via the form https://forms.gle/7T26KcJ2HwzFtbfg9
The event takes place on the occasion of the exhibition
The Soft After / Fragility that endures
(Studio Prám, 5.5 - 31.5. 2026) and is part of the expanded program line of Café Chalupecký: Dialogues on the interface, which is prepared dramaturgically for the Jindřich Chalupecký Society by invited curator simona markel dvorák.
This series of meetings takes place in the spirit of Jindřich Chalupecký's legacy and looks at art not only as a reflection of society, but also as a space for intervention and responsibility. Dialogues at the interface thus create a resonance between the historical dimensions of his epoch and the fragmented reality of today.
Daniel Neugebauer is a teacher and curator. Since 2023 he has been working as a curator for cultural education and strategic partnerships at the Haus der Kulturen der Welt (HKW) in Berlin.
Kate Brehme is an independent curator, researcher and art educator with disabilities. In 2017, Kate co-founded Berlinkluzion, where she advised organizations such as the KW Institute for Contemporary Art, Haus der Kulturen der Welt, The Bauhaus Archive and Documenta, and initiated the UNBOUND project, the first accessible transdisciplinary residency program in Germany.

Following the lecture, this participatory workshop invites attendees to move from reflection into embodied practice, collectively exploring what “safe space” can become when shaped through sensory experience and shared presence. Through guided exercises involving touch, sound, movement, and stillness, participants will co-create temporary communities that center access, care, and relationality. Drawing on crip and queer approaches, the workshop rethinks safety not as a fixed condition but as a dynamic, negotiated process—one that emerges through attention to bodyminds, difference, and interdependence. Together, we will experiment with how spaces can be felt, transformed, and held, if only for a moment.
