Mon 28.8., 15:00-17:30 h
⇒ 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.

⇒ Workshop | "The Impossible Project"
w/ Sammy & Stella – Queer analogue dark room
How can we look? What do we see? How can we return the gaze? Who is making that which meets our eyes? This workshop will concentrate on the paradoxical nature of creating imagery from Black perspectives, while existing in the collective, socio-historical context of violent Black subject/object formation. This is a space to collectively watch, discuss, read and write about Black visuality and embodied representation. There will be an additional focus on participant’s personal work, while practising “looking-back” and self description, as the necessity of those skills in order to secure resources and funding for artistic invention is considered.

⇒ Pop-Up Event | 'EXIT Strategies: Unraveling Environmental Crises and Pursuing Climate Justice in the Global South'
w/ Ojudun Taiwo
The "EXIT Strategies" project is a multimedia total theatre performance aimed at shedding light on the intricate issues surrounding environmental crises and ecological degradation, particularly in the global south. The project delves into the deep-seated origins of these challenges, investigating their links to historical colonialism, socio-economic class disparities, and the exploitative nature of the capitalist economic model. Through an extensive research-driven approach, the project aims to provide insights into pivotal questions concerning alternative systems, the far-reaching consequences of climate change, and the notion of climate justice within the global south. It strives to scrutinize the lasting effects of climate change on the region while advocating for sustainable and equitable solutions.
