Milly is developing a research-led design experimentation in the fields of urbanism and anthropology. This project builds on her interdisciplinary academic and professional background in ethnographic research, collective organising and participatory urban design.
Her investigation will start with archival research focused on the neighbourhoods of Kollwitzplatz, Pankow and Treptow-Köpenick, which house public sculptures by the Leftist artist Heniz Worner. She plans to use the neighbourhoods as a starting point to critically explore the shifting landscapes of what has been understood – and what has been actioned – by ideas of solidarity, care, and mutual aid since the sculptures were created.
She would like to develop methodologies to represent shifting dynamics between different urban actors, focusing on interrelations and co-dependencies, and their enabling conditions. The process will inform the artistic output, and could take multiple different forms; a reading group; a written work; a spatial intervention; a form of participatory action; an installation at ZK/U or one of the sites of Worner’s sculptures.
