DING PONG aka Bring dein Ding
At DING PONG, everyone brings an object and tells its story. At the end, the items can be given away or swapped—creating a small economy of sharing.
In cooperation with Kreislaufschränke e.V., we recently held our first action with our baby kiosk. The kiosk is mounted on a bicycle trailer and is especially well-suited for small, spontaneous pop-ups. For DING PONG, we baked cookies and cake and brought along some fruit spritzers.
At DING PONG, everyone brings an object and tells a story or shares the background of that object. At the end, the object can be given away or exchanged. This creates an economy of sharing within a small circle.
The Concept
Bring dein Ding is an initiative by Anastasija Miskatovic, Benedikt Walch, Eva Fredrichs and Johanna Oberst. The format was developed as part of the Social Design project "Future Identities" with Dipl. Des. Katrin Lavillle during the WS 24/25, in cooperation with the Kulturzentrum LUISE and Kreislaufschränke München e.V. Make sure to follow "Bring dein Ding" on Instagram!
