SUMMARY:a’21: techno utopia x post-digital ignorance___10 March - 18 May\, 2021
DESCRIPTION:► a’21: techno utopia x post-digital ignorance \n► 10 MARCH - 18 MAY\, 2021 \n:: EXHIBITIONS :: PERFORMANCES :: TALKS\, WORKSHOPS & LECTURES :: & MORE :: ABOUT a’21 FESTIVAL :: \nThe past few decades have witnessed a tremendous proliferation of digital technology. References to a techno-utopia where knowledge would be available to each and all seemed to signal the possibility of positive social and cultural change while acknowledging a fundamental flaw. Digital technologies’ commitment to making knowledge accessible to all would supposedly produce a universal benefit and wellbeing which was partly realised but digital technologies did in no way result in a techno-utopia. It has become apparent that besides letting vast amounts of knowledge accessible to ever more people\, digital technologies are also powerful tools producing a peculiar kind of public ignorance\, one that seems to proliferate amidst ever multiplying information and knowledge available in today’s digitalised environment. With a’21 Festival - Post Digital Ignorance x Techno Utopia\, we aim to challenge the status quo while centring perspectives on non-human life\, queer ecology\, decolonising knowledge\, forced displacement\, and more. :: 69+ artists\, scientists and activists in 16 countries #SWANA #AFRICA #EUROPE #ASIA \n:: 13 extraordinary creatives radically collaborating within an intensive laboratory :: \nHosting hosting more than 50 events: incl. performances\, workshops\, panels\, sounds\, lectures\, exhibitions and screenings \n:: PROGRAMME 2021 ::  \nw/ amberPlatform (Turkey)\, 16 March - 18 April w/ Kounaktif (Morocco)\, 17 - 21 March w/ Sharhaban (Lebanon)\, 22 - 25 March w/ BAAB Collective (Sudan) 1 April - 15 May w/ Darağaç (Turkey)\, 2 April - 26 March w/ DAHproject (Iran)\, 3 April - 7 May  \n#NewMedia #QueerEcology #ForcedDisplacement #FutureDesign \n// Produced by: Oyoun in collaboration with amberPlatform \n// Curatorial Team: Amirali Ghasemi\, Ali Cem Doğan\, Cenkhan Aksoy\, Christoph Wachter\, Ebru Yetişkin\, Ekmel Ertan\, Hamza Chamas\, Mathias Jud\, Milad Forouzandeh\, Mohsen Hazrat\, Nina Martin\, Rajaa Shamam\, Youssef El Idrissi \n// Participants include: Eda Sütunç\, Danielle Brathwaite-Shirley\, Mary Maggic\, Rachel Uwa\, Renata Salecl\, Seloua Luste Boulbina\, Pelin Tan\, Yara Mekawei\, and many more. \n// Funded by: Capital Cultural Fund/ Berlin's Hauptstadtkulturfond

SUMMARY:EMBODIED ARTS FESTIVAL
DESCRIPTION:[English below] \nEMBODIED ARTS FESTIVAL - AUF DEN SPUREN VERKÖRPERTER ERINNERUNGEN \n♦️♦️♦️ Embodied Arts Festival Guide ♦️♦️♦️ \nWas verkörpern unsere Körper? Welche Erinnerungen können uns unsere Körper erzählen? - über uns selbst\, unsere Vergangenheit und unsere Zukunft? Wir laden euch ein\, mit uns diesen und vielen weiteren Fragen während des EMBODIED ARTS FESTIVAL künstlerisch nachzugehen. Wir haben über 20 Performances\, Filmvorführungen\, Diskussionen und interaktive Interventionen für euch geplant. \nMit den Mitteln der Kunst gehen wir auf die Suche nach Antworten auf Fragen wie: Wie können wir Traumata kollektiv heilen? Wie können sich unsere Körper aus einem Bündel sozialer Zwänge in eine Manifestation blühenden Lebens verwandeln? Wie brechen wir Tabus über Menstruation\, über Gendernormen\, über Sexualität(en)\, über Tod und Trauer? Woher kommt Hass\, wie wirkt sich Hass aus und welcher Weg führt vom Hassenden zum Gehassten? \nKurator*innen\, Künstler*innen und Kulturschaffende haben sich im Rahmen von Oyouns erstem kuratorischen Schwerpunkt - EMBODIED TEMPORALITIES - mit Identitäten\, Zugehörigkeit und verkörperten Erinnerungen aus diasporischen\, dekolonialen und queeren Perspektiven auseinandergesetzt. Dies war ein 8-monatiges Forschungs-\, Archivierungs-\, Ausstellungs- und Performance-Projekt\, an dem über 40 Menschen beteiligt waren. Die Ergebnisse\, Begegnungen und Fragen\, die sich aus den Projekten ergeben haben\, werden während des EMBODIED ARTS FESTIVAL vom 8. bis 18. April präsentiert und gefeiert.  \nSeid dabei ab dem 8. April und nehmt teil an Live-Streams\, Diskussionen und interaktiven Gesprächen >>> siehe Programm hier. \nIhr seid eingeladen\, die ausgestellten Werke offline zu erleben: hier kannst du ein Zeitfenster auswählen und buchen. \n  \n \nEMBODIED ARTS FESTIVAL - TRACING THE MEMORIES OUR BODIES HOLD \n♦️♦️♦️ Embodied Arts Festival Guide ♦️♦️♦️  \nWhat memories do our bodies hold? What can our bodies tell us about ourselves\, our pasts and our futures? We invite you to join us for an artistic exploration of these and many other questions during the EMBODIED ARTS FESTIVAL. We have 20+ performances\, film screenings\, discussions\, and interactive interventions planned for you. \nUsing art as a tool we go in search of answers to questions such as: How do we break taboos about menstruation\, about gender norms\, about sexualities\, about death and mourning? How can we collectively heal trauma? How can our bodies transform from an object that is a carrier of social constraints into a manifestation of thriving\, living bodies? Where does hate come from\, how does it affect us\, and what path does it take from hater to hated? \nCurators\, artists and cultural practitioners have been exploring identities\, belonging and embodied memories through diasporic\, decolonial and queer perspectives as part of Oyoun’s first curatorial focus: EMBODIED TEMPORALITIES. This has been an 8-month research\, archiving\, exhibition and performance project involving 40+ people. The outcomes\, encounters and queries which have come out of the projects will be presented and celebrated during the EMBODIED ARTS FESTIVAL from 8th - 18th April.  \nJoin us from the 8th April onwards for our digital programme of releases\, live streams and interactive talks that we have planned for you >>> see all event here. \nFrom the 9th - 18th April you can book a time slot to view and experience the exhibited works in person at Oyoun.

SUMMARY:Black Post Box
DESCRIPTION:[deutsch unten] \nCo-curators of the BLACK POST BOX\, Gugulethu Duma and Dylan Greene\, explore racial and cultural melancholy by centralizing the work of Saidiyah Hartman who asks\, "...what if depression could be traced to histories of colonialism\, genocide\, slavery\, exclusion\, everyday segregation\, and isolation that haunt all of our lives\, rather than to biochemical imbalances? How can we feel\, deal and heal while the experiences of loss and alienation persist? The silent victims are countless\, and their names remain unrecorded. The body carries this reality and functions. Day in and day out. The body functions in a dysfunctional state\, we can hear\, but do we listen? We can look\, but do we observe?"  \nIn Anne Anlin Cheng's seminal work\, The Melancholy of Race: Psychoanalysis\, Assimilation\, and Hidden Grief\, melancholy is defined as\, "a transformation from grief to grievance". It's a state of being explored as an entangled relationship to loss where grief becomes legislated. Said another way\, mourning passes whereas melancholy\, an apparently endless condition\, continues through the generations as it becomes the formation of identity and ego and diaspora themselves. As Ralph Ellison writes in Invisible Man "I am invisible...like the bodiless heads you see sometimes in circus sideshows\, it is as though I have been surrounded by mirrors of hard\, distorting glass. When they approach me they see only my surroundings\, themselves\, or figments of their imagination." Asking\, within the framework of culture and the perception of it\, "who distorts whom?" In this way\, melancholia asks the self into cycles of reflexivity.  \nUntil the 19th century\, Western science and medicine saw "melancholia" as both a physical and mental symptomatic condition. The melancholic were classified by a perceived common cause: an excess of black bile. At times\, all forms of mental illness were associated with the concept. Some were deemed to be caused by a combination of excess black bile and a disorder of one of the other humors. As global societies begin to explore "generational trauma/transfer" and the lineage of hauntings turn to anxieties and physical conditions\, we posit African and Asian sciences and medicines which long pre-date the white-bile of Western opinion. \nIn their contribution to Oyoun’s Embodied Arts Festival\, Gugulethu Duma's curatorial focus invites contemplations on melancholia\, psycho-spiritual instability\, and the colour Black: Black as silence; black as emptiness; black as the unknown; black as the shadow; black as the night\, as we move with earth still in a global lockdown. Dylan 'HUNTERCHEE' Greene's curatorial focus invites contemplations on immigration\, the stasis within enslaving forms of transit\, and cultural homelessness. \nThe BLACK POST BOX invites individuals to spend 20 minutes alone\, listening and seeing compositions that seek to inspire conversation with the unrecorded self; observation of the silenced self; and recollection of forgotten selves. We invite our audience to write down reflections and submit them to our post box after engaging with the installation. They will be mailed through flame to the ancestors upon the closing of the installation. \nA diasporic rhythm called 'displacement' is another way of describing home. Echos of a global feeling; a mid-air suspension pleading\, "is there grounding?" \nThe Black Post Box will be at Oyoun for both the opening and closing ceremony of the EMBODIED ARTS FESTIVAL. \nFrom 9th-18th April\, the Black Post Box will be stationed where May Ayim Ufer meets Oberbaumstraße in Kreuzberg. It will be open every day between 12:00 - 18:00 - book your time slot to visit here. \n  \nAbout the contributors\nGugulethu Duma\, also known as Dumama\, is an artist\, performer and sonic researcher\, born in South Africa. Her transdisciplinary practice involves consciously deconstructing and critiquing archaic modes of representation of (Southern) African sonic and performance culture. Her interests intersect as practice based performance research\, and interdisciplinary\, collaborative bodies of work centred around political-poetic imaginations. > dumamamusic.com \nDylan "HUNTERCHEE" Greene is an Asian American drummer\, multi-instrumentalist\, composer\, and producer who collaborates deeply with dance and visual media. In 2019\, he was commissioned by the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem\, MA to focus on Ming Dynasty naval exploration as well as Chinese immigration to America. He is currently making work that explores perception and narrative through the experiences of mild traumatic brain injury and lenses of Eastern philosophy. Greene performed with Grammy nominated artists\, A Far Cry Chamber Orchestra and countertenor Anthony Roth Costanzo\, Bessie Award-winning choreographers\, Rebecca Lazier and Christopher Williams\, MacArthur Fellowship composer\, Matt Aucoin\, and the Peabody Award winning podcast\, Radiolab. Dylan has been an artist in residency at Avaloch\, a fellow at Mass MOCA with Bang On a CAN\, and a Onebeat alumni\, an initiative of Found Sound Nation supported by the U.S. Department of State. He has taught at Carnegie Hall and now teaches a trauma conscious music methodology with Music Beyond Measure. HUNTERCHEE is an ambassador for Out Of Time Embassy\, a Berlin-based collective. > hunterchee.com \nAyanda Duma is a video and film artist whose main objective is the re-representation of the marginalised people of South Africa. Through a subversive and an imaginative lens\, her work encompasses an inquiry into the ways the past informs the present\, reflecting on how this affects the representation of the South African & global youth. Ayanda Duma’s film work embodies themes such as identity\, sexuality\, interpersonal relationships and politics within slice of life narratives that celebrate the magic in the mundane. She is an emerging female-identifying filmmaker from East London\, currently based in Cape Town. Ever the curious artist\, her creative inclinations\, beginning in primary school\, have spanned many years covering a range from classical piano\, music composition\, modelling\, performance and visual storytelling in the forms of portrait photography and filmmaking. Her filmmaking journey began with Film School in 2016 and by 2017 my short film\, Booked\, was shortlisted for The Horizon Award with The Creative Mind Group. This accolade earned me an invitation and internship at the Cannes Film Festival 2018.  \n  \nEMBODIED ARTS FESTIVAL\nCurators\, artists and cultural practitioners have been exploring identities\, belonging and embodied memories through diasporic\, decolonial and queer perspectives as part of Oyoun’s first curatorial focus: EMBODIED TEMPORALITIES. The outcomes\, encounters and queries will be presented and celebrated during the EMBODIED ARTS FESTIVAL from 8th - 18th April. View all events here. \n  \n--- \nDie Co-Kurator*innen der BLACK POST BOX\, Gugulethu Duma und Dylan Greene\, erforschen Melancholie bezogen auf Race und Kultur auf der Basis der Arbeiten von Saidiyah Hartman\, die fragt: "...was wäre\, wenn Depressionen auf die Geschichte des Kolonialismus\, von Völkermord\, Sklaverei\, Ausgrenzung\, alltäglicher Segregation und Isolation zurückgeführt werden könnten\, die unser aller Leben heimsuchen\, und eben nicht (nur) auf ein jeweiliges biochemisches Ungleichgewicht? Wie können wir fühlen\, fortleben und heilen\, während die Erfahrungen von Verlust und Entfremdung fortbestehen? Die stummen Opfer sind ohne Zahl\, und ihre Namen bleiben unverzeichnet. Der Körper trägt diese Realität und funktioniert - Tag ein\, Tag aus. Der Körper funktioniert in einem dysfunktionalen Zustand\, wir können hören\, aber hören wir auch wirklich zu? Wir können schauen\, aber beobachten wir auch wirklich?" \nIn Anne Anlin Chengs bahnbrechendem Werk The Melancholy of Race: Psychoanalysis\, Assimilation\, and Hidden Grief wird Melancholie definiert als "eine Transformation von Trauer zu Kummer". Melancholie ist ein Seinszustand\, der sich als durch Verlusterfahrungen gefesselt erweist\, in dem Kummer Gesetz ist. Anders ausgedrückt: Trauer vergeht\, während Melancholie als anscheinend endloser Zustand über Generationen hinweg fortbesteht\, indem die Basis der Identität\, des jeweiligen Ich\, ja der ganzen Diaspora bildet. Wie Ralph Ellison in Invisible Man schreibt: "Ich bin unsichtbar ... wie die körperlosen Köpfe\, die man manchmal in Zirkusprogrammen sieht; es ist\, als wäre ich von Spiegeln aus hartem\, verzerrendem Glas umgeben. Wenn sie sich mir nähern\, sehen sie nur meine Umgebung\, sich selbst oder Ausgeburten ihrer Phantasie." Im Rahmen von Kultur und deren Wahrnehmung fragt man sich: "Wer verzerrt wen?" Auf diese Weise lockt die Melancholie das Selbst einen ewigen Kreislauf der Selbstbespiegelung. \nBis ins 19. Jahrhundert nahm man in Europa an\, dass "Melancholie" sowohl körperliche als auch psychische Symptomen habe. Die melancholischen Zustände würden sich durch ein Übermaß an "schwarzer Galle" auszeichnen. Zeitweise wurden alle Formen von Geisteskrankheit mit diesem Konzept in Verbindung gebracht\, wobei man bei einigen davon ausging\, dass sie durch eine Kombination von überschüssiger schwarzer Galle mit einer Störung eines der anderen Körpersäfte verursacht würden. Während die globalen Gesellschaften allmählich damit anfangen\, generationsübergreifende Traumata und deren Übertragung zu erforschen und Spuk und Besessenheit zu Angstvorstellungen und somatischen Zustände umgedeutet werden\, berufen wir uns auf afrikanische und asiatische wissenschaftliche und medizinische Traditionen\, die der weißen galle westlicher Vorstellungen weit vorausgehen. \nDer Fokus von Gugulethu Dumas kuratorischen Beiträgen zum Embodied Arts Festival lädt zum Nachdenken über Melancholie\, über psycho-spirituelle Instabilität und über die Farbe Schwarz ein. Schwarz als: Stille; schwarz als: Leere; schwarz als: das Unbekannte; schwarz als: der Schatten; schwarz als: die Nacht - während wir alle uns immer noch in einem globalen Lockdown befinden. Dylan 'HUNTERCHEE' Greene wiederum regt uns zum Nachdenken über Immigration an\, über den durch versklavende Formen des Übergangs verursachten Stillstand\, und über kulturelle Heimatlosigkeit. \nDie BLACK POST BOX bietet uns die Möglichkeit\, 20 Minuten allein zu sein und während dessen Kompositionen zu hören und zu sehen\, die zu Gesprächen mit dem nicht ausdefinierten Selbst anregen sollen\, zur Beobachtung des zum Schweigen gebrachten Selbst und zur Erinnerung an vergessene Formen des Selbst. Wir laden unser Publikum ein\, ihre Reflexionen aufzuschreiben und sie in unseren Briefkasten zu werfen\, nachdem sie sich mit der Installation beschäftigt haben. Sie werden nach Beendigung der Installation mittels Feuer den Ahnen geschickt. \nDer diasporische Rhythmus namens 'Vertreibung'\, ist eine andere Art\, Heimat zu beschreiben. Echos eines globalen Gefühls; ein Schweben in der Luft\, das uns um festen Boden unter den Füßen bitten lässt... \nDie Black Post Box wird sowohl bei der Eröffnungs- als auch bei der Abschlussveranstaltung des EMBODIED ARTS FESTIVAL im Oyoun zu sehen sein. \nVom 9. bis 18. April wird die Black Post Box am östlichen Ende des May-Ayim-Ufers \, Ecke Oberbaumstraße\, stationiert sein. Sie wird täglich von 12:00 bis 18:00 Uhr geöffnet sein. Hier kannst du einen Termin für einen persönlichen Besuch buchen kannst. \n  \nÜber die Mitwirkende\nGugulethu Duma\, auch bekannt als Dumama\, ist eine in Südafrika geborene Künstlerin\, Performerin und Klangforscherin. In ihrer transdisziplinären Praxis dekonstruiert und kritisiert sie bewusst archaische Repräsentationsformen der (süd-)afrikanischen Klang- und Performancekultur. Ihr Interesse gilt der Verbindung von praxisbasierter Performance-Forschung und interdisziplinären\, kollaborativen Arbeiten\, die sich um politisch-poetische Imaginationen drehen. > dumamamusic.com \nDylan Hunter Chee Greene ist ein chinesisch-amerikanischer Schlagzeuger\, Multi-Instrumentalist\, Produzent und Komponist. Angetrieben von dem Wunsch\, ein vielfältiges und gemischtes Werk zu schaffen\, schreibt Dylan Musik als Session-Musiker und als Auftragskomponist. Seine Kompositionen für Tanz\, Konzerte und visuelle Kunstinstallationen waren in den ganzen Vereinigten Staaten zu hören\, unter anderem bei Alvin Ailey\, im Peabody Essex Museum\, im Detroit Institute of the Arts\, im Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit und im Mark Morris Dance Center. Als sehr vielseitiger Künstler arbeitete Dylan mit und für Größen wie Shahzad Ismaily\, Sō Percussion\, Leila Adu\, Mark Stuart\, David Scher und Jeff Dolven. Greene trat mit dem für den Grammy nominierten A Far Cry Chamber Orchestra und dem Kontratenor Anthony Roth Costanzo\, den mit dem Bessie Award ausgezeichneten Choreographen Rebecca Lazier und Christopher Williams\, dem MacArthur Fellowship Komponisten Matt Aucoin und dem mit dem Peabody Award ausgezeichneten Podcast Radiolab auf. Dylan war Artist in Residency bei Avaloch\, Stipendiat am Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art mit Bang On a Can und ist Alumnus von Onebeat\, einer vom US-Außenministerium unterstützten Initiative von Found Sound Nation. Er unterrichtet eine traumabewusste Musikmethodik mit Music Beyond Measure und ist Botschafter für das Berliner Kollektiv Out Of Time Embassy. > hunterchee.com \nDas Hauptinteresse der aus East London stammenden und derzeit in Kapstadt lebenden Video- und Filmkünstlerin Ayanda Duma gilt der Re-Repräsentation marginalisierter Menschen in Südafrika. Auf subversive\, phantasievolle Weise untersucht sie\, wie die Vergangenheit die Gegenwart beeinflusst\, und reflektiert dabei\, wie dies die Darstellung der südafrikanischen und globalen Jugend beeinflusst. Ayanda Dumas Filmarbeit konzentriert sich auf Themen wie Identität\, Sexualität\, zwischenmenschliche Beziehungen und Politik innerhalb von Slice-of-Life-Erzählungen\, die die Magie im Alltäglichen feiern. Sie war schon immer eine neugierige Künstlerin\, und ihre kreativen Neigungen\, die sie bereits in der Grundschule entdeckte\, umfassten ein Spektrum von klassischem Klavier\, Musikkomposition\, Modellieren und Performance bis hin zu visuellem Geschichtenerzählen in Form von Portraitfotografie und Filmemachen. Ihre Reise als Filmemacherin begann 2016 mit der Filmschule und schon 2017 stand ihr Kurzfilm Booked auf der Shortlist für den Horizon Award der Creative Mind Group. Diese Auszeichnung brachte ihr eine Einladung und ein Praktikum bei den Filmfestspielen in Cannes 2018 ein. \nEMBODIED ARTS FESTIVAL \nKurator*innen\, Künstler*innen und Kulturschaffende haben sich im Rahmen von Oyouns erstem kuratorischen Schwerpunkt - EMBODIED TEMPORALITIES - mit Identitäten\, Zugehörigkeit und verkörperten Erinnerungen aus diasporischen\, dekolonialen und queeren Perspektiven auseinandergesetzt.

SUMMARY:Hate\, the Ultimate Form of Violence Against the Other?
DESCRIPTION:We invite you to join this panel discussion organised by Artist-Activist Sujatro Ghosh. While opening up the discourses on hate\, violence\, propaganda\, fascism and segregation\, we will revisit the curatorial intentions of his project Geography of Hate as well as the artistic contexts of the different performances presented in the exhibition.  \nGeography of Hate questions hate as a tool for systematic violence and otherisation - it is an exploration of what powers hatred and why — in this case\, hatred directed towards a particular religious community within a specific geographical location: the Indian subcontinent. However\, in many ways\, even as the project is bounded by a certain geopolitical context\, it simultaneously transcends contextual specificities to embrace a global geographical poetics - not least through the participants\, who are from all corners of the world. The project also demonstrates a different kind of unity whereby all participants - despite differences in national\, cultural\, social\, political\, economic\, religious\, racial\, ethnic\, and/or sexual identity - have the same base visceral response to violence. \nThe Geography of Hate exhibition which includes a showcase of objects\, performance videos\, a documentary\, and an immersive projection work was curated by Arijit Bhattacharyya (Artist\, Curator and Activist) and Sujatro Ghosh. It will be on show in Oyoun's tower from the start of the EMBODIED ARTS FESTIVAL for two months. Information about how to visit in person will be available soon.  \n  \nThis event will take place on zoom\, you can register here. The zoom discussion will be live-streamed on Oyoun's online platforms - YouTube\, Vimeo and Facebook. \nContact us at hallo@oyoun.de if you have any questions. \n  \nEMBODIED ARTS FESTIVAL\nCurators\, artists and cultural practitioners have been exploring identities\, belonging and embodied memories through diasporic\, decolonial and queer perspectives as part of Oyoun’s first curatorial focus: EMBODIED TEMPORALITIES. The outcomes\, encounters and queries will be presented and celebrated during the EMBODIED ARTS FESTIVAL from 8th - 18th April. View all events here.

SUMMARY:Untangling the Mirage - Forms of Queerness and Resistance
DESCRIPTION:A conversation along with screenings of “Mirage” and “Untangle” by Avril Stormy Unger \nHow do constructs of time and space shape an artistic expression that traverses several disciplines and socio-cultural contexts? How do we look at interdisciplinarity as a form of queer articulation? How do sexuality and queerness build a dialogue with the public space? In what ways does the artist’s expression of dissent negotiate questions of identity\, agency and form? \nFor this conversation\, Avril Stormy Unger will be joined by her collaborators\, based in India and New York\, to talk about the artistic journey\, their own personal and local contexts as well as socio-political intentions which are manifested in her works “Mirage” and “Untangle”. You are invited to join in the conversation\, share your thoughts with the artists and open up new discourses. \n“Mirage” is a performance intervention at an upmarket mall in Bangalore\, India\, highlighting structural inequalities in accessing basic necessities such as healthcare and clean water. View Mirage here. \n“Untangle”\, a video work\, is based on the redefinition of self and identity\, through the journey of unpacking internalised societal expectations.

SUMMARY:a'21:Threshold Infrastructures of Residual Spaces III Border Infrastructures and Forensics
DESCRIPTION:►a'21: Threshold Infrastructures of Residual Spaces-III \n:: ABOUT THIS EVENT (EN) :: \nForensic Architecture (FA) is a research agency\, based at Goldsmiths\, University of London\, carrying out investigations with and on behalf of communities and individuals affected by conflict\, police brutality\, border regimes and environmental violence. In this workshop\, FA researcher Stefanos Levidis will discuss the tools and techniques the agency has developed and employed over the past years in order to counter-investigate cases of state violence at the external borders of the EU. Drawing on several complementing case studies\, participants in the workshop will be introduced to complex methodologies of spatial and architectural analysis\, open-source investigation\, digital modelling\, and immersive technologies\, as well as documentary research\, situated interviews\, and cross-disciplinary collaboration. The diverse spectrum of actors and practices involved in these investigations provides critical insight into how novel modes of evidence and testimony amplification emerge\, and how interdisciplinary and collaborative research provides a pathway to democratising the processes of evidence production that have been traditionally monopolised by the state. \n► Click "going" on Facebook to stay up to date.\n► Join the event through vimeo. \n:: LINKS :: \n►Stefanos Levidis\nInstagram\n► Özge Çelikaslan\nFacebook\nInstagram\n► Pelin Tan\nInstagram \n* This event is part of Oyoun's a’21 Festival - Post Digital Ignorance x Techno Utopia aiming to challenge the status quo while centring perspectives on non-human life\, queer ecology\, decolonising knowledge\, forced displacement\, and more.The project was financed by Berlin’s Hauptstadtkulturfonds. \nProduced by: Oyoun in collaboration with amberPlatform \nCuratorial Team: Amirali Ghasemi\, Ali Cem Doğan\, Cenkhan Aksoy\, Christoph Wachter\, Ebru Yetişkin\, Ekmel Ertan\, Hamza Chamas\, Mathias Jud\, Milad Forouzandeh\, Mohsen Hazrat\, Nina Martin\, Rajaa Shamam\, Youssef El Idrissi Participants include: Eda Sütunç\, Danielle Brathwaite-Shirley\, Mary Maggic\, Rachel Uwa\, Renata Salecl\, Seloua Luste Boulbina\, Pelin Tan\, Yara Mekawei\, and many more.

SUMMARY:BLACK AS I AM QUEER AS I AM BLACK: A Black Queer Poetics reading session
DESCRIPTION:A journey into black queer poetics through the music\, poetry and performance works of self-identified black and queer artists from around the world. \nKopano Maroga and Maneo Mohale are two black queer cuties who have some questions about what constitutes so called blackness and so called queerness in the realm of poetics. How does identity sometimes operate as a doorway and\, sometimes\, a cliff? Is there a problem with falling? Is the falling The Poetic? And\, most importantly\, isn't all poetry GAY at the end of the day? \nJoin us for this guided reading session of pre-prescribed materials that evoke the poetic as we unpack what it means to us to be this black and this queer at this particular moment in history. \n  \nThis event will take place on zoom - please register with your name\, pronouns and motivations for attending here. \nHere\, you will find your pre-prepared playlist from Kopano and Maneo: Take some time to read the texts and listen to the music in your own time.

Where in your body do you feel the stirring? \n  \nAbout Maneo & Kopano\nManeo Refiloe Mohale (they/them) is a South African editor\, feminist writer and poet.

SUMMARY:a'21: 
A Passion for Ignorance
DESCRIPTION::: ABOUT THIS EVENT (EN/AR) :: \nIgnorance\, whether passive or active\, conscious or unconscious\, has always been a part of the human condition\, Renata Salecl argues. What has changed in our post-truth\, postindustrial world is that we often feel overwhelmed by the constant flood of information and misinformation. It sometimes seems impossible to differentiate between truth and falsehood and\, as a result\, there has been a backlash against the idea of expertise\, and a rise in the number of people actively choosing not to know. The dangers of this are obvious\, but Salecl challenges our assumptions\, arguing that there may also be a positive side to ignorance\, and that by addressing the role of ignorance in society\, we may also be able to reclaim the role of knowledge." from the introduction of the book "A Passion for Ignorance" \n► Click "going" on Facebook to stay up to date.\n► Join the event through vimeo. \n:: LINKS :: \n► Renata Salecl\nWebsite \n\n* This event is part of Oyoun's a’21 Festival - Post Digital Ignorance x Techno Utopia aiming to challenge the status quo while centering perspectives on non-human life\, queer ecology\, decolonising knowledge\, forced displacement\, and more.The project was financed by Berlin’s Hauptstadtkulturfonds. \nProduced by: Oyoun in collaboration with amberPlatform\nCuratorial Team: Amirali Ghasemi\, Ali Cem Doğan\, Cenkhan Aksoy\, Christoph Wachter\, Ebru Yetişkin\, Ekmel Ertan\, Hamza Chamas\, Mathias Jud\, Milad Forouzandeh\, Mohsen Hazrat\, Nina Martin\, Rajaa Shamam\, Youssef El Idrissi\nParticipants include: Eda Sütunç\, Danielle Brathwaite-Shirley\, Mary Maggic\, Rachel Uwa\, Renata Salecl\, Seloua Luste Boulbina\, Pelin Tan\, Yara Mekawei\, and many more.\nFunded by: Capital Cultural Fund \n► For media and press inquiries\, please email hallo@oyoun.de
