SUMMARY:LOOK AT ME : Syrien in Fotografie und in Erzählung - Photo Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Der syrische Aufstand und der darauffolgende Krieg gehören vielleicht zu den visuell am besten dokumentierten Ereignissen der modernen Geschichte. Es gibt erschütternde Bilder\, die sich in die Psyche der Menschen eingebrannt haben. Das Bild von Aylan Kurdi\, der leblos an einem türkischen Strand liegt. Drohnenbilder von zerbombten syrischen Krankenhäusern und Städten. Aber das ist nicht alles\, was Syrien ausmacht\, und für viele Syrer*innen werden dies nie die Bilder sein\, die ein Land oder eine Generation definieren. \nDie Ausstellung "LOOK AT ME: 10 Scenes from Syria" mit Fotografien von syrischen Fotograf*innen soll den Beginn einer Debatte ermöglichen und einen Einblick in die persönliche Perspektive syrischer Fotograf*innen geben\, die einige Bilder ihres Landes vor und während des Konflikts eingefangen haben. Es soll ein Raum geschaffen werden\, in dem der fotografische Prozess und die sich daraus ergebenen ethischen Fragen diskutiert werden können und so das Gespräch über die syrische Fotografie gefördert wird. \n→ Die Veranstaltung ist kostenfrei. \n→ Buche jetzt ein Zeitfenster für deinen Besuch der Ausstellung im Oyoun - Link hier \n  \nDiese Veranstaltung ist eine Kooperation der Büros Beirut und Berlin der Friedrich-Naumann-Stiftung für die Freiheit und SyriaUntold e.V. \n**** \nZur Kuratorin der Ausstellung: \nGuevara Namer ist Fotografin und Dokumentarfilmerin in Berlin. Ihre künstlerische Arbeit begann sie 2005 in ihrer Geburtsstadt Damaskus. Namer beschäftigt sich in ihren Arbeiten mit den Themen Identität\, Feminismus und Exil und wurde von mehreren internationalen Organisationen unterstützt. \n**** \nWICHTIG: Für die Teilnahme ist ein tagesaktueller\, negativer Corona-Test (Schnelltest) oder ein vollständiger Impfnachweis (14 Tage nach der letzten erforderlichen Einzelimpfung\, als elektronischer Impfnachweis\, Impfpass aus Papier reicht nicht aus) oder ein Nachweis über eine Genesung (maximal 6 Monate alter positiver Test) vorzulegen.

SUMMARY:Soura Film Festival
DESCRIPTION:The third edition of Soura Film Festival\, hosted at Oyoun\, will take place from October 21st - 24th 2021 in Berlin. \nThe festival will present a programme curated with the idea to address queer culture\, filmmakers\, and characters relevant to South West Asia and North Africa; a region commonly known as S.W.A.N.A. \nIn the majority of these territories\, homosexuality remains illegal with the consequence of severe punishment. Degrees of tolerance vary from one state to the other\, but LGBTQI+ communities often face regular harassment and crackdowns from state authorities\, with religion and morality often evoked to arouse public sentiment. Therefore\, the festival’s mission is to create a safe and welcoming space for queer filmmakers who are often shunned or persecuted in their home countries\, their stories too often suppressed or censored. \n  \nThursday\, October 21  \nVernissage of the exhibition BACKBONE - more info here \n// Event start: 16:00  \nOpening Film [Feature 1] – THE MANY LIVES OF KOJIN (88 min) + Q&A \n// Doors open: 18:30 // Event start: 19:00 \nFilm Program 1 - Far From Home (70 min)  \n// Doors open: 21:45 // Event start: 22:00 \n  \nFriday\, October 22  \nShort Film Program 2 - A Bittersweet Escape (83 min) \n// Doors open: 16:45 // Event start: 17:00 \nFeature 2 - NICO (75 min) + Q&A   \n// Doors open: 18:45 // Event start: 19:00 \nFeature 3 – Sex\, Revolution and Islam (81 min) + Q&A \n// Doors open: 21:15 // Event start: 21:30 \n  \nSaturday\, October 23 \nPanel discussion: Reclaiming Narration: On Queering Middle Eastern Cinema \n// Doors open: 14:45 // Event start: 15:00 \nRetrospective - Anyab (100 min) \n// Doors open: 16:45 // Event start: 17:00 \nShort Film Program 3 - Hearts In Purgatory (70 min) \n// Doors open: 19:15 // Event start: 19:30 \nFeature 4 - Death of a Virgin and the Sin of Not Living  (90 min) + Q&A \n// Doors open: 21:15 // Event start: 21:30 \n  \nSunday\, October 24 \nPanel discussion: How Queer is ‘Queer Cinema’ from the Middle East? \n// Doors open: 12:45 // Event start: 13:00 \nBeyond Border - Focus on Pakistan (90 min) \n// Doors open: 14:45 // Event start: 15:00 \nXPOSED: Cruising Courageously (90 min) + Q&A \n// Doors open: 16:45 // Event start: 17:00 \nFeature 5 – Love\, Spells and all That (96 min) \n// Doors open: 18:45 // Event start: 19:00 \nClosing Film [Feature 6] MIGUEL’S WAR (128  min) + Q&A \n// Doors open: 21:00 // Event start: 21:30 \n  \n→ see the full programme here \n→ Get your Ticket here  \n  \n*** \nABOUT THE PROGRAMME: \nThe programme of our third edition will include 7 feature films\, 30 short films (compiled into 5 different programs)\, 2 panel discussions\, and an exhibition by 'Mazen Khaddaj'. \nThe festival opens with Diako Yazdani's The Many Lives of Kojin\, a very touching film about a 23 year-old young man who seeks to exist in a society where he seems unable to find his place. The film is having its German premiere at Soura and the event will feature the presence of the filmmaker and protagonist. \nSome of the other highlights include Seyran Ateş: Sex\, Revolution and Islam by Nefise Özkal Lorentzen\, which aims to provoke the debate suggesting the necessity of a sexual revolution in the Islamic world; the Lebanese film Death of a Virgin\, and the Sin of Not Living by George Peter Barbari\, one of the highlights of this year's Berlinale Panorama; Eline Gehring's Nico about a woman dealing with a terrible xenophobic incident and taking her destiny into her own hands; among many others. \nWith our Retrospective section\, the festival endeavours to rediscover film history and provide a contextualized experience with the ongoing transformation of cinematic storytelling and its aesthetics. For this edition we are screening Anyab by Mohammed Shebl\, an Egyptian take on the classic 'The Rocky Horror Picture Show'. \nOur 2021 edition will close with the astonishing Teddy Winner Miguel’s War by Eliane Raheban\, about a man confronting the ghosts of the past and exploring unrequited love and tormenting feelings of guilt. The filmmaker took 9 years to make the film and will be present at our closing ceremony. \nThis edition also marks the launching of a new section\, called Beyond Borders\, set to highlight filmmakers from territories outside of the SWANA region. To kick off this inaugural segment\, we invited the filmmaker Hamza Bangash to curate the program for us with the focus on Pakistani filmmakers. The program will be composed of 7 beautiful short films. \n*** \nThis project was organised in cooperation with Heinrich Böll Stiftung and The Power of the Arts and has been realized by the support of The Student Hotel\, Siegessäule\, Clam Order\, Indiekino Berlin\, PinguinDruck\, Habibi Collective\, iHeartBerlin\, XPOSED Queer Film Festival\, International Queer & Migrant Film Festival Amsterdam\, Supernova Cinema and Lab111. \n  \nIG: @sourafilmfest  \nFacebook: @SouraFilmFest \nTwitter: @SouraFilmFest \nWebsite: https://sourafilmfest.com/ \n  \nArtwork: Dariush Alexander \nDesign: Clam Order  (to the Website > here)

SUMMARY:Backbone - سند الظهر - Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:"Backbone" is a multidisciplinary exhibition by Lebanese artist Mazen Khaddaj. The show is a collection of video performances\, multichannel installations\, and documentation that signifies the relationship with his father\, and his death in December 2020.⁣ After a long and heavy battle with COVID19\, his dad surrendered and left him at the age of sixty-three. His passing was like an earthquake that shook Mazen's reality and left him broken. \nBook yourself a time slot to visit the exhibition here \nMazen's dad\, Melhem\, was a traditional Arab father that worked tirelessly to provide for his family. For many years\, until his death\, he worked every day in his shop in Aley\, Mount Lebanon. Melhem was a man of faith and very respected in his town\, he was also strict with his children and required a lot of attention. He was kind towards his family and friends and loved them fiercely\, but hid his feelings way beneath his tough exterior. He was noticeably very proud of Mazen's only and eldest brother\, Hassan. Hassan got married\, had a child\, and took over the family business. \n"How could I have told my dad who I was? I already looked different\, I wore tight clothes and had non-traditional artistic hobbies. I was soft and sensitive and kept my sexuality hidden in a tightly sealed closet. Melhem always associated my lifestyle and looks with an artist's way of life.  He was not interested in my art\, but he cared about me and supported me financially in my endeavors"\n- Mazen about his father. \n"Backbone" is an explosion of grief and other unprocessed emotions stemming from Mazen´s childhood into his adult years. With this show\, he opens his world and depicts the story of a gay Arab boy and his conservative father. The exhibition is in memory of his beloved dad\, Melhem Khaddaj. \nBook yourself a time slot to visit the exhibition here \n*** \nAbout the artist \nMazen Khaddaj (b. 1985) is a multidisciplinary Lebanese artist working in painting\, performance\, video art\, and installation. He received his Bachelor of Arts degree in Graphic Design from the American University of Science and Technology in Beirut in 2008. His background includes working as an Art Director in multinational advertising companies for several years before eventually dedicating himself fully to the arts.  \nMazen started his artistic journey in the medium of painting. He exhibited his first solo show ‘Bonds’ at Art Circle (Beirut) in 2013. Eventually\, he would move into a more multidisciplinary approach\, showcasing video performances in addition to paintings\, such as his second solo show ‘The Middle State’ which was exhibited both at 392Rmeil393 Gallery (Gemmayze\, Beirut) and at the University of Balamand Gallery (Lebanon) in 2015. These were followed by the exhibition ‘Emotion in Motion’ at Artspace Hamra (Beirut) in 2016 that featured ‘The Eye’\, an installation project featuring five videos depicting the relationship between individuality and society. ‘The Eye’ is now part of the permanent collection of the Modern and Contemporary Art Museum (MACAM) in Alita\, Byblos\, Lebanon.  \nMazen participated in an artist residency at the prestigious Pilotenkuche International Art Residency\, in Leipzig\, Germany\, in 2015. This would lead him to eventually relocate to Germany in 2017\, and this move would greatly impact his identity as an artist. He would also go on to enroll as a guest student at the Academy of Fine Arts in Leipzig\, further adding to his education.  \nMazen documented his struggle to ground himself in a new country through his project ‘I am a Foreigner’\, showcasing several paintings and two video installations\, which were first exhibited at GAPGAP in Leipzig in 2017 and then at WerkStadt\, Berlin in 2020. Mazen proceeded with more solo shows including ‘I End to Begin’ at 392Rmeil393 Gallery\, Beirut\, in 2019\, and ‘The Laundry Room’ at the Museum Der Bildenden Künste\, Leipzig\, also in 2019. Both shows investigated deeply the artist’s feelings towards his identity and his experiences as an immigrant. Further exploring these issues that same year\, his installation ‘Spot The Foreigner’ was part of the Re-Orient Exhibition at the Grassi Museum\, Leipzig. In January 2020\, Khaddaj showcased ‘Lützner Street 7’\, another solo show\, at Albareh Art Gallery in Bahrain. In November 2020\, Khaddaj participated in the Festival Kasseler Dokfest 37\, Kassel\, Germany\, with a project titled ‘The Artists are Not Present’ which is a video installation. Shortly after\, Khaddaj was awarded Honorable Mention for ‘The Artists are Not Present’ by the jury of the Golden Cube of the Kasseler Dokfest. Visible Thoughts was the title of his latest painting solo show that was exhibited in Kunst Kan gallery in Amsterdam. \nMazen has also participated in several collective shows\, including in Lebanon\, Bahrain\, Turkey\, and Germany. Mazen’s paintings are a play between textures and color\, transparency and flatness. His work manifests human thought and interaction through figuration\, which appears abstracted and dissipating\, intersecting yet secluded. Subsequent video performances and installations are extensions of the work on canvas; what is inherent to still surfaces translates into mutable forms.  \nMazen Khaddaj is currently living in Berlin\, Germany\, where he is practicing his art. He still has strong ties to the Middle East and continues to engage in artistic activities there. \nwww.mazenkhaddaj.com // IG: @mazenkhaddajart \n*** \nPlease note: To take part in events at Oyoun or visit our exhibitions\, you need to have a negative corona test from the same day or proof of vaccination / recovery.
