⇒ Workshop | “The Home ReMixtape Archives”
w/ Maurice Leoni-Osion
For many of us, home is where we are born, reside, genealogically rooted, or establish a sense of belonging. However, this definition of the home is not always shared by a broader population, specifically marginalized communities, who, like everyone, should be accepted for instinctual birthrights to provide an inner structure/shelter to protect cultures, languages, loved ones, stories, dreams, memories, and futures.
The Home ReMixtape Artchives is a series of art workshops utilizing the creation of home mixtapes as an archival approach to document, protect and preserve untold stories centered around the home experience. Participants will explore mixed media; graff writing, illustrations, timelines, found sounds, interviews, audio recordings, songs, and music production to collaborate on a community mixtape. The goal is to provide a creative space for various voices to tell their younique stories while finding a cohesive rhythm amongst each other that celebrates future narratives from their neighborhoods.
The workshops will culminate in an interactive exhibition from 16 to 30 November 2023 at Oyoun, where the public will have access to the five editions of the Mixtape series, each representing a community archive from five districts across Berlin.

⇒ Pop-Up Event | “Draw me Close” & “Incentivora” Tiny OyoUnity Tour Closing
w/ Matagumpay & Jaq Lisboa
"Draw Me Close" is an interdisciplinary performance that combines drawing with dance. It begins as Matagumpay's solo and then includes the audience as participants and performers. At first Matagumpay draws faint lines across the paper until someone intervenes and initiates the first dance. Traces of charcoal and ink are evidence of our shared movement. Many configurations are possible: the audience moves Matagumpay, he moves the audience, he steps back, the audience moves each other - as long as one person is holding the drawing device and someone else is moving them. Autonomy, consent, depression, will, and desire are all in play, and every dance begins with a curious intention: How can it keep you accountable?
