Workshop for FLINTA*: Rooted in colour (DE/EN/ES/GR)
A shared exploration through food and art

Is the museum a place for food? In this workshop, we explore vegetables as printing material, symbols, and artistic language. Inspired by Karl Schmidt-Rottluff’s painting Kohlrabi (1947), we reflect together on themes of domestic work, culture, and collective memory, especially through the lens of food. We will print, smear, stamp, and experiment with real beetroot, turmeric, and kohlrabi and everything that squishes, drips, and glows.

The workshop invites you to create freely, share stories, and connect through thoughtful exchange. Together, we will print, prepare and share a meal, and make a collaborative textile piece—a “Harvest Cloth”—that reflects how food, like art, brings us together. It carries memories and emotions, linking our personal experiences with the world around us.

At the heart of it all is a central question: What kinds of work are seen and remembered in art and history and which remain invisible? Through the shared act of creating, we explore how food carries memory and emotion, building bridges between the personal and the social. Like art, it has the power to connect us, to give meaning, and to make the invisible visible.

The workshop is for FLINTA*(Women, Lesbians, Inter, Non-binary, Trans, and Agender people). No experience needed—just curiosity and clothes you can get messy. Although the workshop will be mainly in German, we mention the languages spoken by the facilitators to make it more accessible. If you don’t feel confident in German, don’t worry — you can still take part.
