radical_house is a long term project that stems from radical_hope‘s practices: it presents a physical place, a framework and a logic.

Initiated in 2020 by Heike Langsdorf (as a possibility for her to reformulate the correlations between her pedagogical and artistic practices), radical_house is currently co-curated together with Simone Basani and Alice Ciresola.
