In cooperation with the Protestant congregation at Apfelsinenplatz, a seminar for students enrolled in the degree programme “Art in Context” at the Berlin University of the Arts (UdK) took place in the winter semester 2024/25 in Gropiusstadt. The students discussed the use of games for artistic actions. Inspired by forays through Gropiusstadt, as well as objects and drawings from the collection of the Bauhaus-Archiv / Museum für Gestaltung, they developed game components for a temporary indoor playground in the Apfelsinenkirche Family Centre, which the public was invited to on 30 November between 2 pm and 6 pm.
