Gardens are places of cultural identity that lie at the intersection of nature and culture. Although they are an integral part of everyday culture, they appear in the city like oases in which one's own relationship to nature becomes apparent. The perception of one's own physicality in the “natural” environment of the garden allows one to experience oneself and one's own identity in a new way. The work of the Hamburg-based French-Egyptian artist Hoda Tawakol (*1968, in London, Great Britain) begins at this point. Drawing on biographical experiences, she creates connections between traditions and rituals, different cultures and forms of flora and fauna. In her works, Hoda Tawakol not only brings together a wide range of questions about environmental and natural issues, but also about gender politics and physical cultures, which are also anchored in the materiality of her artistic work. With her work she asks about the role of plants in our environment in the formation of identity. Where does culture begin, where does nature end and where – but also how – do we as humans locate ourselves in this theoretical construct? Tawakol's artistic practice invites visitors to reflect on these questions and challenges them on a sensual and intellectual level.
Hoda Tawakol is developing a new site-specific work for the garden of the Georg Kolbe Museum. With her textile outdoor work she creates spaces for debate: with native and non-native plants, with her own and other identities, as well as experiences and challenges that appeal to the senses but also stimulate thoughts. The artist creates a new place to linger, work and view in the museum's historic sculpture garden. With an extensive program, the artist and the Georg Kolbe Museum invite you to a summer in the garden, which encourages us to reposition and encounter the place, the art, our surroundings and ourselves.
Hoda Tawakol's works are tender and powerful at the same time. The recurring motif of the palm tree becomes an intimate symbol of her identity and the longing for a place where she never lived. A wide variety of textiles are used in her sculptural works, but resin, paper, hair and wood are also recurring materials. Most recently, the Dortmunder Kunstverein dedicated a solo exhibition to her in 2023, and Hoda Tawakols has already had solo and group exhibitions in, among others, Mathaf Doha, Qatar, the Museum für Neue Kunst Freiburg, the Museum for Art in Wood, Philadelphia, USA, and the Schirn Kunsthalle Frankfurt, in the Kunstverein Hamburger Bahnhof, Hamburg, in the Lothringer13 - Städtische Kunsthalle Munich, or in the Weserburg Museum Bremen. She studied at the University of Fine Arts in Hamburg, where she lives and works today.

Berlin Cathedral (Berliner Dom) is a famous Protestant church in Berlin, the capital of Germany. It is located on the Museum Island in the center of the city, next to the Spree River. This magnificent church is not only the religious center of Berlin, but also an important landmark and tourist attraction of the city.
⛪️The history of Berlin Cathedral dates back to the 15th century, when there was a smaller church on the same site. The existing cathedral was built from 1894 to 1905 under the order of German Emperor Wilhelm II to serve as the court church of the Hohenzollern family. The original church was demolished at the end of the 19th century to make way for a new and more magnificent church.
⛪️Berlin Cathedral adopts Renaissance and Baroque styles and was designed by architect Julius Raschdorff. Its gorgeous appearance and exquisite interior decoration reflect the characteristics of neo-Baroque architecture. The church is 98 meters high, and its green dome is an important part of the Berlin skyline.
⛪️During World War II, the Berlin Cathedral was severely damaged, especially an air raid in 1944 that caused part of the church&#39;s dome to collapse. After the war, the restoration of the church lasted for decades and was finally completed in 1993.
⛪️The interior of the church is richly decorated with many exquisite sculptures, paintings and mosaics. The altarpiece and the pulpit on the central altar are particularly eye-catching.
⛪️The Berlin Cathedral has an organ built by Wilhelm Sauer, which is one of the largest and most important historical organs in the world.
Visitors can climb 270 steps to the observation deck on the church&#39;s dome, from which they can overlook the magnificent view of the center of Berlin.
