Soil & Soul Sundays // Special Flea Market "Gardening Differently" and Earthworm Manifesto Workshop
Explore, Create, and Connect with the exhibition Earthbound. Worms, Soil, Decay
Join us every Sunday morning for a vibrant immersion into the world of the exhibition Earthbound. Worms, Soil, Decay. Stroll through our spaces, discover the exhibition at your own pace, and engage in a diverse program of activities designed for all ages: young and old, art enthusiasts, science curious, or ecology passionate.
Creative workshops, guided tours, cross-disciplinary perspectives, yoga sessions, vegetable markets, and flea markets... Each Sunday offers a new way to resonate with the themes of the exhibition: soils, decomposition, earthworms, and our connection to the underground world. A Sunday at Bridderhaus is an opportunity to wander, discover, and enjoy a moment of calm and sharing.
Experience the unique atmosphere of our inner courtyard when the weather permits. It's the perfect spot to relax, sip a coffee, savor a carrot cake, and enjoy a pleasant time with family or friends in a laid-back and friendly ambiance.
Open to all.
All activities are without registration.

Let’s transform “waste” into “resources” together.
09:00 - 12:00 | Drop-in Workshop for Families | Earthworm Manifesto
The Earthworm Manifesto acts as a speculative, transformative storyline weaving relations between humans, earthworms, and the underground. By proposing a non-anthropocentric fabulation that addresses the need to decentralize humans from soil assemblages, it asks: How would you become part of their manifesto? What relations and stories are you building? Why is it necessary to consider facts and fables together?
Inspired by Haraway’s concept of SF—string figures, science fact, science fiction, speculative fabulation—this workshop invites participants to generate, blend, and compost new stories and knowledges. We will use methods such as storytelling, collective writing and drawing (Cadavre exquis) to continue co-creating the Earthworm Manifesto. The outputs will contribute to a growing archive created through this workshop series.
Presented by Merve Bektaş, led by the Bridderhaus educational team.
