Soil & Soul Sundays // Special Root Market and Natural Screen Printing
Explore, Create, and Connect with the exhibition Earthbound. Worms, Soil, Decay
Join us every Sunday morning for a vibrant immersion into the world of the exhibition Earthbound. Worms, Soil, Decay. Stroll through our spaces, discover the exhibition at your own pace, and engage in a diverse program of activities designed for all ages: young and old, art enthusiasts, science curious, or ecology passionate.
Creative workshops, guided tours, cross-disciplinary perspectives, yoga sessions, vegetable markets, and flea markets... Each Sunday offers a new way to resonate with the themes of the exhibition: soils, decomposition, earthworms, and our connection to the underground world. A Sunday at Bridderhaus is an opportunity to wander, discover, and enjoy a moment of calm and sharing.
Experience the unique atmosphere of our inner courtyard when the weather permits. It's the perfect spot to relax, sip a coffee, savor a carrot cake, and enjoy a pleasant time with family or friends in a laid-back and friendly ambiance.
Open to all.
All activities are without registration.

09:00 - 12:00 | Drop-in Family Workshop | Natural Screen Printing | Irina Moons
What if we reinvented screen printing… in nature?
Young and old, parents and children: everyone is invited to take part in a unique screen printing workshop led by artist Irina Moons.
Here, there are no synthetic colors: we will experiment with hues made from nature – flowers, plants, maybe even a bit of earth… Together, we’ll create natural inks and use them to print in an ecological, sensory, and creative way.
Can a flower become a color? Can you print with earth?
Come, test, discover, touch, and create!
This workshop is offered in a drop-in format – you can come and go at your own pace, without registration. It's the perfect opportunity to spend time with your family, play with natural colors, and explore a gentler way of creating art that’s kinder to the planet.
11:00 - 11:30 | Family Guided Tour | FR
Come explore the Earthbound. Worms, Soil, Decay exhibition, an artistic and ecological adventure to share as a family! Through the works of Merve Bektaş (Turkey), Grandeza Studio + Locument (Spain/Portugal/Poland), Natalie Taylor (Scotland), and Francisca Álvarez Sánchez (Chile), discover the importance of earthworms and soil for life on Earth.
The exhibition explains in a playful and accessible way why these small inhabitants of the earth are so valuable and how they are threatened by current ecological crises.
.
During this family tour, you can ask questions, discuss the works, and learn more about nature and art. An art mediator will be there to guide you and share information suitable for all ages, young and old!
