NICHT MEINE BAUSTELLE

Like a construction site, democracy requires constant work to remain functional. This means citizens must be aware of their responsibility in society, be open to different perspectives, and be willing to engage with others. Nicht meine Baustelle (The phrase “Nicht meine Baustelle” literally translates to “Not my construction site” and means “None of my business”) is a public intervention. Through seven interactive stations, it confronts the most common excuses that keep people from engaging in social and political issues. Passersby are invited to critically examine their own attitudes and behaviors. Just as political apathy creates obstacles, this symbolic construction site physically disrupts public space—bringing political discourse back to the streets.
