Shaped to the Measure of the People’s Songs

By Mae-Ling Lokko (Soil Sisters)

Temporary Pavilion

June–November 2025

2023 marked the inception of a tradition at Haus der Kulturen der Welt (HKW): the construction of a yearly pavilion. Entitled Shaped to the Measure of the People’s Songs, endeavour embraces an impetus to critically consider space and to explore its various material and immaterial implications. Each year, a new pavilion takes on a creative translation and realization of the complex question of living together into spatial and material propositions. The series continues in 2025 in the frame of heimaten with an artistic intervention in public space by Mae-Ling Lokko (Soil Sisters).
