Hosted as part of the Latent Accumulations Series curated by Lea Perraudin, Iva Rešetar, and the Matters of Activity Cluster of Excellence-Zu Berlin, the workshop concludes the first part of Alice Jarry's residency at the Cluster.

Tempelhofer Feld sits at the intersection of its multifaceted past, present, and future. How can its material, spatial, and residual histories materialize into textures and traces? This free workshop invites participants to explore and experiment with accessible biocomposites to create a living archive and a collective imprint of the site.

Drawing on a counter-mapping approach—a collaborative, sensitive, critical, and participatory cartography that challenges human and more-than-human relations—the activity proposes accessible ways to engage with the site's tangible and intangible dimensions using biomaterials. As an open system, Tempelhofer Feld can be explored through the verticality of its milieu—air, water, and soil—as well as the horizontality of its surfaces, where gardens, airport infrastructure, animals, plants, construction sites, community, sheltering, and leisure areas intertwine. The workshop promotes an inclusive and speculative dialogue around these porosities.
