Protests have to be disruptive to be effective. When these disruptions move into public space and take root there, blockading, defending, or seizing these spaces, they produce protest architecture.

Intricately detailed models fabricated at the Technical University of Munich and the Hochschule für Technik Stuttgart (Prof. Andreas Kretzer) depict a broad range of protest camps, from Resurrection City in 1968 through to the Lobau-bleibt movement of 2021/22. Forty “ground-based structures” from Lützerath, mostly pile structures, were documented by Rokas Wille (HfG Karlsruhe) by way of models made of photographic paper, while director Oliver Hardt produced a film installation for the exhibition. In coordination with activists, a suspension bridge from the Hambach Forest was able to be secured as an exhibit. The hanging model of Barrio Beechtown by artist Stephan Mörsch also shows the Hambach Forest occupation. The exhibition architecture of the show at DAM Ostend, whose exhibition spaces have recently been expanded by some 1,000 square meters, was carried out by Something Fantastic.
