ft federica teti (1985 IT) works in the field of urban practice, visual art and art education, she lives in Berlin. Her practice focuses on the substance of space (and particularly public space) as a potential site for encounters and inclusion indulging in collective work, DIY and experimental learning processes. Since 2015, she has collaborated with art collectives, cultural associations, theaters, and schools such as Parkaue Theater, raumlaborberlin, S27-Art and Education among others. 2024 she worked in the MA program “Critical Social Practice in Art Education” at the Zurich University of the Arts (ZHdK) in Zurich, Switzerland. She works on interdisciplinary projects together with children, women, and young adults from refugee and non-refugee backgrounds. Graphic is a central tool in her practice; she is interested in developing visuals, info-graphics and zines as non-academic tools for learning, documenting and transferring contents. From 2016 to 2022 federica teti and the sculptor and performer todosch schlopsnies were an artistic duo, sometimes using the name ftts. Between 2020 and 2022, ftts were directing with a small team from S27 the “Experimental Building Site” and community space Stadtwerk mrzn in Berlin, Marzahn. Stadtwerk mrzn was a campus of Urbane Praxis Berlin. “In workshops of varied format, we build, garden, invent, and play. The main focus, besides creating the direct experience of cultural participation across all boundaries of origin and language, is to achieve something together that would never have been possible alone, and to also have fun while doing it.” ftts Collaborations: Education:
