Listening
Drawn conversations in a growing network for plurality.
A project by Simona Koch and Lilla von Puttkamer, starting in Cambodia January / February 2026.
Project presentation at Goethe Center Phnom Penh (Meta-House): 19. February 2026
“Listening” is an artistic and social project that promotes plurality and democratic values in a time of increasing authoritarian tendencies. The focus is on listening: conversations with activists and thinkers will be conducted on site and translated into live drawings and compiled in a publication.
The large-format newspaper also forms the basis for a wall newspaper, which serves as a central element of future exhibitions and continues the project in various locations. With “Listening,” Simona Koch and Lilla von Puttkamer are building an international network of activists, artists and thinkers who strengthen diversity, democratic participation and sustainable forms of expression.
The project is funded by the Umverteilen Foundation, Berlin. It is also supported by the Goethe Center Phnom Penh (Meta-House) and by Stefan Wille Software GmbH who takes care of the project website.
