Poetic Resistance is a new two-year curatorial programme at Make-up e.V. (Berlin) exploring poetic, subtle, and collective forms of resistance in everyday urban life. Through neighbourhood interventions, a Summer School, and an exhibition, and a reading group, the program asks how art can remain politically sharp without becoming marketable or didactic. The program is organized by Marina Resende and Jakob Margit Wirth.

The symposium will start on Friday 20 March at 1 pm and ends on Saturday 21 March at around 2 pm. It opens a space for reflection on the complex dimensions of public space and the potential of art as a medium for collaborative production, critical inquiry and societal transformation.

On Parasiting (2026–27) is an international artistic research project by Matilde Outeiro and Jakob Margit Wirth, exploring parasitic tactics as forms of embedded resistance. The project launches with a public symposium in form 14th - 22nd of June.
