With a premise of transferring “rituals and cultural practices of hospitality into artistic processes,” the show featured contributions by over 20 artists, including Ayami Awazuhara, Calori + Maillard, Raqs Media Collective, Sara Løve Daðadóttir, Nuray Demir, EVBG, Alexis Goertz, Lina Hermsdorf, Balz Isler + Justin F. Kennedy, Katharina Ludwig,  Tabita Rezaire, Jihad Suliman and Miriam Yammad, among others.

A series of exhibitions, performances and workshops intervened in the public plaza of Mehringplatz, as well as in neighboring shops. The title takes its reference from a work by Raqs Media Collective as a term to express both “feelings of joy as well as insecurity.”**
