Wasteland Twinning Network hijacks the concept of ‘City Twinning’ and applies it to urban Wastelands in order to generate a network for parallel research and action.

By subverting the City Twinning concept that aims to parade a city’s more predictable cultural assets and shifting the focus to wastelands, new questions of value and function are raised. Wasteland Twinning aims to develop an understanding of the potential of these sites through transdisciplinary models of practice. Wasteland Twinning is led by independent artists and researchers, offering the potential for cultural comparison to take place on a local and international scale – going beyond the obvious to examine often invisible perspectives on power relations, land use, urban development and ecology. Through engaged and critical approaches, we hope to uncover some of the peculiarities and commonalities of the wasteland sites.

Die Einzahlung auf Ihr neues Online-Casino-Konto ist einfach und erfordert nur ein paar Klicks, aber Sie müssen zuerst sicherstellen, dass das Casino EcoPayz in Österreich als gültiges Zahlungsportal akzeptiert. Die Chancen stehen gut, dass es unter der E-Wallet-Option zu finden ist. Nachdem Sie sich vergewissert haben, dass Ihr neues Casino EcoPayz akzeptiert, gehen Sie auf die Kassenseite Ihres Casinos und wählen Sie den Einzahlungsbetrag. Die Gateway-Seite sollte nach Ihren Anmeldedaten fragen, um fortzufahren. Der beste Teil, nachdem Sie Glück hatten. Die Auszahlung Ihrer Gewinne in allen Casinos, die EcoPayz http://oesterreichonlinecasino.at/payment-methods/ecopayz akzeptieren, ist ziemlich einfach. Der Vorgang erfordert ein paar Klicks und ist so ziemlich derselbe wie bei einer Einzahlung. Sie müssen es zuerst im Zahlungsmenü des Casinos oder an der Kasse beantragen und die entsprechenden Schritte befolgen.

Projects Collaborative Action

The Games

WASTE, SPORT and HABIT come together for The Fallow Games. Wasteland Twinning Network Berlin in collaboration with Gabrielle de Vietri host a day of urban sporting and appropriation of the city’s wastelands on the Köpi-Brache. Conducted parallel to Wasteland Rounders on The Island Wasteland, Nottingham.

Recreation Ground

A trilateral European collaborative project between Wasteland Twinning Berlin, Wasteland Twinning Nottingham and W139 Amsterdam. Through engagement with the inhabitants and users of three wasteland sites.

Homey Island

Homey Island is a transnational project from Wasteland Twinning Network that derives its concept from two opposing uses of the word Homey: from the American street use of the term implying trust, friend and kinship to the more domestic meaning cosy, comfortable or (DE) gemütlich.
