A market for workers, mothers, womxn, childrens and mistresses.

We are pleased to invite you to Souls for Labor, a market co-curated between Arts of the Working Class, foodculture days and Barbara Quintin, which will inhabit the courtyard of ATELIER GARDENS, the former Berliner Union-Film Ateliers (BUFA), on May 8 2022, from 12-19h.

Souls for Labor offers a shared space to reflect on food making, food sharing, maternal fantasies and care work as lenses through which to unveil the mechanisms underlying contemporary labor conditions and practices. Through food culture, handcrafts and post-consumption production, social nourishment spiced up by critical thoughts, ideas served on plates, solidarity shared through edible matter inseparable from fair working practices, Souls for Labor aims to cultivate seeds for community-driven economies in order to restore empathy in the so-called art world.

The market will host HOT(S)POTS as places for donating food and goods for people affected by the war, and a HOSPITALITY SPOT, where the participants will find food to devour and refreshments.
