Are you concerned about your self-marketing as an artist and cultural worker? Are you looking for tips and tricks on how to effectively promote your work?

We invite you for an interactive exchange in various workshops with Hati, Lara, Louna, Madhu, Mithra, Nina, Nora, Tariq and Yodit from the Oyoun team. What you can expect are practical exercises on how to create a customised Electronic Press Kit, valuable sharing of resources and experiences, and various networking opportunities.

"Performing Resistance" - a workshop by Lara Chahal + Madhumita Nandi from the Oyoun team

During this workshop we'll reflect on the theme of "resistance" and its presence in our personal narratives and artistic expressions. We encourage you to share their artistic works, whether in progress or completed, and engage in a collective exploration within the context of marginalized artistic perspectives. In the first session (5.9.), we'll delve into the various forms of resistance and how they manifest across different artistic practices. Facilitated by members of the Oyoun team, we'll engage in thought-provoking exercises to prompt deeper contemplation on this topic. The second session (13.10.) will delve into the performative aspects of resistance, considering the influence of localities, spaces, and places on shaping our narratives. Feel free to join one or both sessions, and if you have works or practices to share, you're welcome to do so, though it's entirely optional. No prior experience is required. If you have specific access needs you'd like to let us know, please reach out so we can prepare the space accordingly.

Tickets: Free admission! | Registration here (Open until 5.9., 15:00 h -> for the first session)
