CTB Lab 04 Kassel

In a collaboration with Dynamo Windrad, Streetbolzer e.V., and the ruruHaus, the Fussballaballa tool was implemented in and adapted to a new setting as part of the documenta fifteen – the largest German contemporary art exhibition held every five years - in Kassel, Germany. The fourth iteration of the CTB Lab brought together different local communities through critical public viewing of the EURO 2020 which was embedded in a discursive program reflecting on a multitude of issues surrounding the sport. | ›
