The experimental residency Metamorphosia will take place during the WHOLE - United Queer Festival in Ferropolis (GER) from August 2 to 5, 2025, bringing together about ten artists with diverse imaginations and mediums. For this year's edition the Berlin based collective Layers is collaborating again with the Swiss based collective MIND7 focusing on the co-creation of an art and chill space by FLINTA artists.*
The vision of the two collectives is to create an inclusive and experimental space where the diversity of artistic experiences and identities meets and intertwines. Their aim is to create a context in which artists can let go and reveal their creative processes without the pressure of showing a finished work.
From apocalyptic playground to cathartic choreography, from the song of the seasons to the subtle and vulnerable landscape of membranes, the artists will present works that capture the essence of transformation in all its forms , while partially still in transition/ being transformed. This approach is an invitation to co-create a collective work, with no deadline, that aims to immerse participants in the changing nature of artistic expression.
FLINTA* is an acronym for female, lesbian, intersex, trans and agender

La résidence expérimentale Metamorphosia se déroulera pendant le WHOLE - United Queer Festival à Ferropolis (GER) du 2 au 5 août 2025, réunissant une dizaine d'artistes aux imaginaires et médiums divers. Pour cette édition, le collectif berlinois Layers collabore à nouveau avec le collectif MIND7, basé à Paris et à Genève, en se concentrant sur la co-création d'un espace d'art et de détente par les artistes de FLINTA*.
La vision des deux collectifs est de créer un espace inclusif et expérimental où la diversité des expériences et des identités artistiques se rencontrent et s'entremêlent. Leur objectif est de créer un contexte dans lequel les artistes peuvent se laisser aller et révéler leurs processus créatifs sans la pression de montrer un travail fini.
Du terrain de jeu apocalyptique à la chorégraphie cathartique, du chant des saisons au paysage subtil et vulnérable des membranes, les artistes présenteront des œuvres qui capturent l'essence de la transformation sous toutes ses formes, tout en étant partiellement encore en transition/en cours de transformation. Cette approche est une invitation à co-créer une œuvre collective, sans date limite, qui vise à immerger les participants dans la nature changeante de l'expression artistique.

LAYERS
The formation of the collective in 2022 is based on a shared passion for music and the need to make the club scene a little more equal by explicitly focusing on the FLINTA+ community at their multidisciplinary art events, parties and workshops. LAYERS aims to bring together art and clubbing in a meaningful way; and give space to FLINTA artists, music producers, and DJs to show plurality of views, shapes, and ideas around femininity as identity.
WHOLE FESTIVAL
The sixth–and largest ever–edition of WHOLE will once again take place at Ferropolis, a lakeside industrial park a few hours outside of Berlin. WHOLE Festival seeks to connect queer collectives from all over the globe under one banner of creativity, passion, pleasure, and above all, good music. Over three full days of camping, DJ sets, workshops, art installations, film screenings, local food vendors, and naked swimming, the festival brings together a program of dozens of local and international artists, representing the best in electronic music. Techno, house, disco, bass, and everything in between—there’s something for everyone, and all are encouraged to shed their inhibitions and dance the night (and the day, and the next night) away.
