The goal of the 'Wall of Kindness' is to provide a space where no-longer-needed clothing items can be hung on hooks and easily taken by people who need them.
The "Wall of Kindness" is an invitation to practice solidarity and will be set up as part of a pilot project until March 2023 on the east side of the Market Hall Garage (BOE Garage, Herzog-Siegmund-Ufer 5). The project is managed by the "Round Table Club" in collaboration with the WAMS association. The City Senate approved the implementation of the pilot project. The idea of "Walls of Kindness" originated in Stockholm and has since been realized in several cities.
The foundational concept comes from Felix "Felux" Winkler, who was once responsible for the Upcycling Studio and has, for some time, operated his lighting studio/showroom and creative hub directly at the Terminal (Innrain 21). This location also serves as a meeting point for numerous other creatives. Recently, we too have found space for our own studio in the same building – a development that greatly pleases us! The various components that form the structure of the "Wall of Kindness" are all sourced from household items at Innrain 21, which are currently being repurposed with the owner's permission. Felix has remained true to the principle of upcycling, as evident in his ingenious lighting systems!
