The LINA Fellows’ Program at the Forecast Festival

On the closing day of the 2026 Forecast Festival, three fellows of the European architecture platform LINA led a rich program of activations and workshops expanding on the notion of architecture as a practice engaging with shared public spaces.

Oscar van Leest gave an open Cracklebox Workshop, where participants could build their own devices. Joaquín Mora took participants on an artistic walk exploring the sonic identity of Berlin’s Südgelände. And lastly, Fite Fuaite created a hand-drawn archive of the festival as it was taking place.

Watch a recap of these contributions.

Ute Lindenbeck und Lena Düspohl: Children’s workshop / Kinderworkshop (German only)—Zwischen den Zeiten hören

für Tandems aus jungen und älteren Erzähler*innen (ab 8 Jahren)

Meine Oma ist in einer anderen Welt aufgewachsen. Sie sagt, die Zwiebeln haben damals anders geschmeckt. Über solche Unterschiede wollen wir sprechen. Ihr seid eingeladen, gemeinsam mit einer Person aus einer anderen Generation teilzunehmen: Enkel, Großeltern, Tante oder Eltern – Hauptsache, ihr habt Lust, euch Geschichten zu erzählen. Auch Einzelpersonen sind willkommen. Inspiriert von den Forecast-Künstler*innen entwickeln wir Fragen und tauschen Geschichten aus: Welche Lieder singst du gern? Wie war es, aufzuwachsen? Wovor hattest du Angst? Wir nehmen die Geschichten auf und experimentieren mit passenden Geräuschen. So entsteht ein kleines Hörspiel, das wir gemeinsam anhören.

Workshop von 11–13:30 Uhr, Gemeinsames Hörspiele Hören um 13:30 Uhr.

*Ute Lindenbeck und Lena Düspohl leiten gemeinsam das Programm Kidsuni an der Floating University Berlin.

We wrapped up the 10th edition of Forecast Mentorships with the premiere of the six final projects presented across different venues in Berlin.

Each project is paired with an essay by an invited expert reflecting on the proposal.

"Seismic Resonances" is an essay by curator and theorist Renan Laru-an on Corin's work, Resonance.

"My friend used to work for the state’s volcanology agency. She took the job in order to travel across the Philippines. Her task was to install alarm systems in secluded rural and mountainous areas, preparing communities for earthquakes and the trembling ground. In her next posting, she welcomed seismic events like the first rain of May on another island. Outside the realm of geology, she encountered the tremor in children’s bodies, in women’s incessant prayers, in evacuation centers, and in her dreams of anthropomorphizing animals. Once I called her and asked, “What if the earthquake was following you?”

I anticipated the settlement of vibrations from CORIN’s new composition Resonance within my somatic vocabulary. I was informed about the piece’s incorporation of kulintang, a percussive instrument I grew up with in the Philippines’ southern Mindanao region. This event, along with other new-media offerings in the second half of Berlin’s winter, stirred us concert goers to venture outside ourselves, assembled into a temporary tension of communion. I immediately saw the ensemble of gongs when I entered the venue. Unassuming, fixed onto a makeshift table loaded with cables, electronics, and digital music equipment, these nippled bronze structures drew people to intuitively form a circle around them as the performance neared its premiere at CTM. As soon as CORIN began to caress the instrument, her fingers running through the contours of the kulintang, the gongs’ metallic song silenced the crowd."

Each project is paired with an essay by an invited expert reflecting on the proposal.

"Dancing With Ghosts" is an essay by researcher and author Teresa Fazan on Wojciech Rybicki solo work SISTERS.

"In his solo work SISTERS, premiering at Sophiensaele in Berlin in February 2026, the emerging Polish choreographer Wojciech Rybicki draws on archival material to explore the micro-history of Poland’s transition from communism to democracy in 1989, while also processing the loss of his beloved grandfather. Structured around these two unrelated events, this intimate, séance-like performance confronts the vulnerability of memory and the realization that some events—and some people—are irretrievably lost to the past."
