About
A digital sign mounted onto the Fridericianum’s façade displays the amount the Australian government owes Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, from 1901 to the present. On one side of Friedrichsplatz, in front of the Staatstheater, cardboard puppets by Taring Padi mark the culture of protest and demonstration that is deeply rooted in the artistic practice of the Indonesian collective.
In addition, the documenta food market has set up its food trucks and cargo bikes here. The gastronomic offer is based on sustainably and organically grown food from the region.
