Berlin, Martin Gropiusbau / YOY
September 2022 - Januar 2023

As part of the exhibition YOYI! Care, Repair, Heal in Gropius Bau, 30 students from Natural Building Lab realised the Bee Hive – an 8m diameter dome, constructed from bamboo and earth – as a setting to exhibit films from artist Tabita Rezaire. The exhibition features perspectives from 25 artists on the entangled themes of care, repair and healing. Tabita’s works – including Singing Bee Garden (2021) – focus on how local, scientific and spiritual knowledge is handed down through generations and the installation should invite visitors to “rest within the womb of the earth”.
