As part of his residency, sociologist and author Nikolaj Schultz presents the first Reading Rave at PART, a hybrid format combining an intimate reading circle with a lecture performance. Invited guests from the fields of art, theory, and literature will share short text fragments, opening up multifaceted perspectives on ecological responsibility, the existential dimensions of the climate crisis, and our relationship to a world that extends beyond the human.

The evening will be complemented by Cucina Alchimia, a collective at the intersection of art, craftsmanship, and cuisine, which will present selected products from its Food Lab. The focus is on sustainable strategies of processing and consumption that combine sensory experience with ecological reflection.
