We warmly invite you to a public lecture by Folke Köbberling, who will introduce her long-term project WOLLBAU, focused on architectural and artistic experiments with sheep wool as a renewable yet often overlooked material. The lecture will explore how raw wool can be reintegrated into architecture and public space as a medium of ecological and cultural transformation.
Folke Köbberling: WOLLBAU
WHEN: Friday, 21 November, 6:30 PM
WHERE: Room 115, Jan Palach Square
WOLLBAU interweaves artistic and architectural projects focused on sheep wool and its processing. Although raw wool is highly versatile and represents a renewable natural material, it has in recent years been treated as a worthless byproduct. Folke Köbberling works with this supposedly waste material in large quantities, creating architectural situations that open new ways of understanding this remarkable fibre and seek to anchor it more firmly in architecture, public space, and society at large.
Folke Köbberling is a professor at the Technical University in Braunschweig, where her work continually explores the relationship between people, cities, landscapes, and materials. Her recent move to the countryside has deepened her engagement with natural resources—particularly wool and earth—and has opened new avenues for connecting artistic practice with questions of sustainability and public space.
The lecture will be held in English. Free entry. All are welcome.
