When is an island an island? In the lowest common (imaginative) denominator, a prominent or prominent land mass surrounded by (water) roads. In the middle of Dresden’s east, not far from the Elbe, there is such a small piece of land. It is not listed as an insular space on any city map. No atlas lists it as a place for volunteer Robinsons. And perhaps that is why this island is there: B\u00f6nischplatz<\/em><\/strong> in Johannstadt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"B\u00f6nischplatzfest<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

As an urban insular dry run between Pfotenhauerstra\u00dfe and the former Blumenstra\u00dfe, the B\u00f6nischplatz Festival<\/em><\/a> has been taking place here since 2015. Originally organised by the Johannst\u00e4dter Kulturtreff<\/em><\/a>, it is now in the hands of the Stadtteilverein Johannstadt e.V.<\/em><\/a>, with festival organiser Samuel Fink at the helm of the organising team: an uncommercial district festival with real interactive encounters in real time; a lively place between the drinking fountain and the bookcase with a stage and stalls from various (district) initiatives, with local residents and everyone it brings here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is Tina from UFER-Projekte Dresden e.V.<\/em><\/a>, for example – originally based in Berlin, the biologist ended up in Dresden partly because of love. And love also included the city’s garden cultures, so the Johannstadt Community Garden<\/em><\/a> was her first connection to the district. At the stand of the Uferprojekte, she will inform you about the Johannstadt educational projects for children and young people, among other things. And while she talks about city kohlrabi & co., clay pots are painted, filled with soil and taken home by visitors to the stand. Observe, marvel, plant – just do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And there are Aga and Daniel. In 2015, they moved from Worms to Dresden for work reasons. They moved straight to Johannstadt, first to a prefabricated flat in one of the 10-storey buildings and then to an old flat directly on B\u00f6nischplatz, where they now live with their three children. Let’s go, they thought to themselves in their young family two days before the festival began. After Aga had spontaneously offered children’s yoga last year, it was now to be children’s face painting and summery adhesive tattoos. So out came the table, in came the make-up brushes, in came the paint pots and the transformations could begin\u2026 “I have to make up a flamingo now”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And in between, a strong wind keeps blowing across the square and sometimes heavy rain pelts down and I think about flying houses at our Kultur Aktiv<\/em> stand: building without a building application and land ownership. In this spirit, six-year-old Zuhal is currently designing an entire garden-living area with a pool, playground and apartment building. And around her, people are gluing, folding and painting in equal measure. Ideas find their form again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the Atlas of Remote Islands<\/em> (Judith Schalansky)? Well, B\u00f6nischplatz is applying for inclusion!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
