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:a'21: Can wonders lead to other synergies?_amberPlatform
DESCRIPTION:The workshop focuses on the aesthetics of the cumulative nature of information that is unlearned and relearned in a holistic\, experience-oriented\, democratic and de-colonialist manner\, in which the practice travels around the theory and the mainstream meanings attached are questioned. \n:: ABOUT THIS EVENT (EN/TR) :: \nHow can we shift from post-digital ignorance to post-digital wisdom? In this event\, participants will create their own wonderland\, on the basis of pandemic conditions we have been through for the last year. The proliferation of virtual applications\, stiffening of the feeling of social isolation as technology pushes the limits\, and the importance of questioning the accuracy of the information instead of directly accepting it\, will be the subjects to be emphasised. The event will also include practices like questioning the (possible\, probable and plausible) future(s) of a city where human-viruses and other creatures live by using design as a form of thought catalyser. Participants from other disciplines will be expected to produce poster designs in visual or text form\, using their own design language. \n► Click "going" on Facebook to stay up to date.\n► Join the event through vimeo. \n:: LINKS :: \n► Ecehan Toprak\nInstagram\nFacebook \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 Participants include: Eda Sütunç\, Danielle Brathwaite-Shirley\, Mary Maggic\, Rachel Uwa\, Renata Salecl\, Seloua Luste Boulbina\, Pelin Tan\, Yara Mekawei\, and many more.

SUMMARY:a'21: Threshold Infrastructures of Residual Spaces-II Migrating images
DESCRIPTION:►a'21: Threshold Infrastructures of Residual Spaces-II\nMigrating images \n:: ABOUT THIS EVENT (EN/TR) :: \nAfter several years spent on the global agenda with its normalised images of misery circulating both in mainstream and alternative channels\, in September 2020 the infamous Moria camp was burned to the ground as a result of a riot. Perhaps this is an example of a residual space being “re-residualised” as a form of resistance by its inhabitants. Since the Moria camp burned down\, migrants applying for protection and asking for asylum have been forced to live in the “provisory” camp also known as Moria 2.0\, built on the toxic ground in an old military shooting area on Lesbos Island. At the same time\, a new migrant camp is now planned to be constructed in an area adjacent to the only garbage dump of the island\, in a way that makes the concept of “waste place” extremely concrete. What is the role of the self-representative images of migrants in all these oppressive dynamics? In which ways do these images resist against mainstream representations that normalise pain with countless repetitions? What is the meaning of a “self-residualising” image of a migrant taking a souvenir photo among the ruins of the burned down old Moria camp? How is it possible to produce resisting images and create circulation networks in a place where the self-representative images are prohibited and criminalised by the authorities? This border region\, whose militarisation has been increased through increasing fluxes of capital\, is not only hindering the freedom of movement and the legitimate claims to asylum\, but it is also trying to criminalise the migrants’ practices of visual self-representation and to prohibit the free movement of images. On the one hand\, there is the ongoing circulation of stereotyping mainstream images that contribute to the normalisation of suffering\, while on the other hand\, the anonymous images used by migrants to document their own situation constitute an attempt to controvert this condition. We will discuss all these issues and questions based on the direct experiences of the Lesbos based video-activism migrant collectives. \n► Click "going" on Facebook to stay up to date.\n►Join the event through vimeo. \n:: LINKS :: \n► Özge Çelikaslan\nFacebook\nInstagram\n► Pelin Tan\nInstagram\n►Nagehan Uskan\nFacebook\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. \nFunded by: Capital Cultural Fund \n► For media and press inquiries\, please email hallo@oyoun.de

SUMMARY:a'21: 
Inaccessible Present  4.0
_New Media Society
DESCRIPTION:►a'21: Inaccessible Present 4.0 _New Media Society \nAudience will be able to see how a public artwork is being produced in the collective. \n:: ABOUT THIS EVENT (EN/AR) :: \nThe seemingly irreversible changes which have occurred since the emergence of the pandemic also manifest themselves via dramatic transformations: a highly polarised and stigmatised ONLINE version of the world being fed to each & every one of the “former” world citizens\, web wanderers\, and newcomers who are forces to learn/do every little aspect of life via virtual communications\, while many are pushed to peripheries and darker areas and not everyone affords to stay connected. The digital divide didn’t start yesterday neither the inequalities caused by limiting access\, a peculiar subversion & distortions which owe their existence to the speed & technological void on one hand and manipulation of the public mind. Present Tense tries to shed light on a generation that is difficult to define\, thus often harshly targeted internationally; A generation who seeks to present and execute their independence to experiment in significant ways\, while preserving the right to be invisible. \n► Event will be streamed live via Instagram \n:: LINKS :: \nNassrin Nasser \nSadegh Majlesi \nRamin Rahimi \nRana Dehghan \nHannaneh Heydari \nYas Nik Khoshgrudi \nFalgoush \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:Taking Root in the Flesh - An Evening of Dialogical Exploration and Performance
DESCRIPTION:Part 1 : Dialogical Exploration\nA discussion with Thokozani Heidi Sincuba\, Jessica Korp\, and Gugulethu ' Dumama' Duma - interpreting the work of Zora Neale Hurston today\, from South African\, Ethiopian-German\, Moroccan and diasporic perspectives. \nThe first part of the evening will be a discursive exploration where we will listen and learn from one another’s diaspora and African based experiences\, interventions\, and disruptions. We will take a short excerpt from Zola Neale Hurston as our departure point to explore the following themes: choreographies and cartographies of belonging\, what taking root in the flesh means to us and how positionalities are informed by where we are at. \nThere is emancipating agency in self-description and naming\, but what and how are we invoking that in our practices? What are the characteristics of our position? What is our work/contribution disrupting within the dominant discourse?  \nJessica Korp will be moderating this panel discussion\, and she is interested in an interrogation of how bodies participate in gendered and radicalised structures of culture and politics\, negotiating the narrative boundaries of racial community and political ideologies. \n  \nPart 2 : Performing Artists\nFor the second part of the evening\, we will present two performances from Gugulethu ' Dumama' Duma and Pure. \nIn her performance\, Dumama will explore sonic archives\, live improvisational composition (working with voice\, glitch\, live loops)\, and digital video work. The performance will explore ritual\, day-to-day\, prismatic identity\, and the tensions present in preservation. The performance also aims to engage with the depth perception experience when working with sound\, working with tonal emergence and deay - honouring the bassline frequency of creation. \n“Time moves rapidly this year and it becomes more intricate and delicate to distinguish between distraction and inspiration. Thoughts float around the body with a vapid kind of intimacy. I wonder why the warm murmurs of strangers speaking unfamiliar languages makes me feel at home? I’m interested in how we express an embodied transience in a world where identity\, history and future can leave you feeling restricted by and in your flesh. I’m interested in moving out of those systemically imposed limitations.” - Dumama \nPure's performance will explore expression as an instrument through which the re-imagination or {un}making of self is accessible as a form of meditation and healing. \n"Existing as a queer person of colour within my own diasporic experiences has shaped my identity over time. Shifting and changing - a constant forward movement towards a purposeful and much more intentional future. Influenced by the weight of my past\, currently navigating through the complexities of my very existence and breathing deeply from the untold stories of my abundant future - there lies this unfathomable strength to dare aspire towards greatness outside of the confines or challenging circumstances of reality. Manifesting my own personal spiritual blueprint that not only liberates but offers profound ancestral healing as I walk this historically drenched territory. This/My embodied experience/identity is layered\, vast\, expansive\, unfolding\, seeking\, wealthy\, ubandent\, timeless\, gentle and free of violent oppression - a privilege historically denied to my people." - Pure \n  \n--- \nThis event will be streamed on Oyoun's Vimeo\, YouTube and Facebook channels. \n  \nBiographies\nGugulethu Duma\, also known as Dumama\, is an artist\, performer and sonic researcher born in South Africa. Their transdisciplinary practice involves consciously deconstructing and critiquing archaic modes of representation of Southern African/African sonic and performance culture. Ritualising modes of togetherness\, Dumama is concerned with the ways in which new forms can organically emerge when collaborations can center in intimacy and openness. Their interests intersect as practice based performance research\, and interdisciplinary\, collaborative bodies of work centered around political-poetic imaginations. dumamamusic.com \nJessica Korp studied Social & Cultural Studies at Goldsmiths College in London and wrote her bachelor thesis on collective melancholy and the empire. In 2019 she co-curated the permanent exhibition "Meshwork of Things - The Collection Showcase of the Humboldt University of Berlin" at the Tieranatomisches Theater\, where she worked as curatorial assistant until 2020. As part of her research residency at Tropez\, Jessica Korp did research on the experience of racism in the Humboldthain swimming pool. Currently she is actively engaged in the areas of anti-racist self-organisation\, empowerment and social engagement in cultural contexts. She is a student of European Ethnology at the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin and an active member of the Aktivistar Filmkollektiv\, organizer of Sonic In(ter)ventions. \nThokozani Heidi Sincuba is a South African artist and speculative thinker who embodies the erotic as power against violence\, toxicity and erasure. They studied at the University of Cape Town\, Artez Arnhem and hold an MFA from Goldsmiths University of London and are active in several exhibitions\, fairs and conferences yearly.

An evolving and ever-shifting entity\, cultivating her expansive creativity from unmasked shame and long endured implications of existing as a black queer artist. Her body of work forms part of a self-healing meditation\, a process that she describes as delicate and personal. "I'm here to reliving the black experience in honor of my lineage by using my art to dispute oppression and bring focus to black- {re}imagination"  \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.

Wir werden einen kurzen Auszug aus Zola Neale Hurstons Werk als Ausgangspunkt nehmen\, um die folgenden Themen zu erforschen: Choreographien und Kartographien der Zugehörigkeit / Was bedeutet es für uns\, Wurzeln im Fleisch zu schlagen / Wie sind Positionierungen dadurch geprägt\, wo wir uns grade befinden. \nIn der Selbstbeschreibung und -benennung liegt eine emanzipatorische Kraft\, aber was und wie rufen wir damit in unseren Praktiken herauf? Was sind die Merkmale unserer Position? Welche Störung ruft unsere Arbeit/unser Beitrag innerhalb des dominanten Diskurses hervor? \nJessica Korp wird dieses Podiumsgespräch moderieren. Sie interessiert sich für die Frage\, wie Körper an vergeschlechtlichten und radikalisierten Strukturen von Kultur und Politik partizipieren und dabei die narrativen Grenzen von ethnischer Gemeinschaft und politischen Ideologien verhandeln. \n  \nTeil 2 : Performance\nIm zweiten Teil des Abends präsentieren wir zwei Performances von Gugulethu 'Dumama' Duma und Pure. \nIn ihrer Performance wird Dumama Klangarchive\, live improvisierte Komposition (mit Stimme\, Störimpulsen und Live-Loops arbeitend) und digitale Videoarbeiten erforschen. Die Performance wird Rituale\, Alltägliches\, prismatische Identität und die Spannungen erforschen\, die bei deren Bewahrung vorhanden sind. Darüber hinaus setzt sich die Performance mit der Erfahrung der Tiefenwahrnehmung bei der Arbeit mit Klang auseinander\, indem sie mit dem Auftauchen und Abklingen von Tönen arbeitet - zu Ehren der Bassfrequenz der Schöpfung. \n"Die Zeit vergeht in diesem Jahr sehr schnell und es wird komplizierter und heikler\, zwischen Ablenkung und Inspiration zu unterscheiden. Die Gedanken schweben mit einer faden Art von Intimität um den Körper herum. Ich frage mich\, warum mir das warme Gemurmel von eine unbekannte Sprache sprechenden Fremden das Gefühl gibt\, zu Hause zu sein? Mich interessiert\, wie wir eine verkörperte Vergänglichkeit in einer Welt ausdrücken\, in der Identität\, Geschichte und Zukunft dazu führen können\, dass man sich von und in seinem Körper eingeschränkt fühlt. Ich versuche mich aus diesen systemisch auferlegten Beschränkungen herauszubewegen." - Dumama \nPures Performance erforscht Ausdruck als Instrument\, das die Re-Imagination\, bzw. die Ent- und Abwicklung des Selbst als Form der Meditation und der Heilung zugänglich macht. \n"Als queere Person of Color innerhalb meiner eigenen diasporischen Erfahrungen zu existieren\, hat meine Identität im Lauf der Zeit stark beeinflusst. Sie verschiebt und verändert sich - ich erkenne eine ständige Vorwärtsbewegung in Richtung einer zielgerichteten und viel bewussteren Zukunft. Beeinflusst von der Last meiner Vergangenheit navigiere ich derzeit durch die Komplexität meiner eigenen Existenz und atme tief die unerzählten Geschichten meiner reichen Zukunft - darin liegt diese unerklärliche Kraft\, es zu wagen\, nach Größe außerhalb der Grenzen\, der schwierigen Umstände der Realität zu streben. Es zu wagen\, meinen eigenen persönlichen spirituellen Entwurf zu verwirklichen\, der mich nicht nur befreit\, sondern tiefgründige Ahnenheilung bietet\, während ich dieses geschichtsträchtige Territorium durchschreite. Diese/meine verkörperte Erfahrung/Identität ist vielschichtig\, weitläufig\, expansiv\, sich entfaltend\, suchend\, wohlhabend\, reichhaltig\, zeitlos\, sanft und frei von gewaltsamer Unterdrückung - ein Privileg\, das meinem Volk historisch verwehrt wurde." - Pure \n  \n--- \n\nDiese Veranstaltung wird auf Oyouns Vimeo\, YouTube und Facebook Kanälen gestreamt. Direkte Links in Kürze! \n  \nBiographien\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.

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?

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: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

SUMMARY:The Body Undone Q&A - "Let My Body Speak" & "No Crying at the Dinner Table"
DESCRIPTION:The Body Undone: In Conversation with Loss is a programme of film screenings and discussions organised by Sana Rizvi for Oyoun's EMBODIED ARTS FESTIVAL. The selected films look at various kinds of loss held by different bodies - with a focus on storytelling from new voices. Using film\, an embodied memory in itself\, an invitation is made to reflect on the question: can we discover new possibilities in the workings of loss and grief by allowing spaces for these feelings to be held and acknowledged in an embodied way? \nFor this Q&A event\, Sana Rizvi will be talking to Let My Body Speak director: Madonna Adib and No Crying at the Dinner Table director: Carol Nguyen. You are invited to join in the conversation.  \nThis event will take place on zoom\, you can register here. Please note the zoom discussion will also be live-streamed on Oyoun's online platforms - Youtube\, Vimeo and Facebook. \n  \nThe films will be available for 24 hours starting at 14:00 on 17th April. \nContact us at hallo@oyoun.de to get sent the link and password to view this film. (This is limited to people in Germany)  \n  \n"Inspired by the poetry of Meena Kandasamy\, the writings of Christina Crosby and Balbir Krishan’s art\, I began my reflections on embodied memories connected to loss and grief. Their work helped me map new areas of inquiry and pose questions away from a more conventional outlook on the linear notions of loss’s predestined path\, in a culture frantic for resolution. And instead\, look at loss as holding social\, political\, and aesthetic implications for the body. A loss that doesn’t rely on linearity but that is profoundly intimate\, from the deep space and time of the self. One that is birthed from the deepest parts of our bodies and times. Moreover\, from this position of embodied knowing\, could (re) engaging with loss generate sites for memory and history\, rewriting of the past and reimagining the future? And could this engagement with loss: the irrecoverable\, become\, paradoxically\, the condition of a new anti-colonial hope and agency." - Sana Rizvi \n  \nLet My Body Speak\nMadonna Adib\n10” | UK/ Lebanon | 2020 | Arabic with English subtitles \n \n“'When I left Syria\, my body became my only land. It is the only thing I own.” \nThis documentary is a personal and intimate journey exploring the repression experienced by the filmmaker during her childhood when she faced sexual control in a Damascus also experiencing a growing socio-political repression in the late 80s early 90s. Through the creative use of family archive in Damascus mixed with current footage of her body she reconstructs the pain of the past absorbed by her body. \nIndependent filmmaker and artist\, Madonna Adib was born in Damascus\, Syria\, in 1986.

SUMMARY:THE BODY IS: A MAP\, A CAGE\, A KEY: Embodied practice as research methodologies
DESCRIPTION:Join us for some embodied reflections during the last event of Oyoun's EMBODIED ARTS FESTIVAL before the closing ceremony:\nA panel discussion about embodied and body-based practice as a generative tool for excavation and research and its potential pitfalls of reductionism and the re-application of oppressive body politics. Moderated by Kopano Maroga. \nThrough the diverse practices of Dr. Maiada Aboud\, Ahmad Hijazi (Cyclomorphosis) and Gugulethu 'Dumama' Duma we will investigate the ways in which embodied and body based practices can serve as tools for excavation and research while also posing potential pitfalls of reductionism and the re-application of oppressive body political lenses. When is the body a map\, when is it a key\, when is it a cage? \nThis event will stream on YouTube\, Vimeo & Facebook \n--- \nAhmad Hijazi (Cyclomorphosis)\,  is a Lebanese Multidisciplinary performer\, a social artist \, and a Masters student of Dance Movement Therapy\, based in Berlin . With an academic background in performing Arts from Beirut\, he’s been focusing his work on claiming more visibility for underrepresented communities such as the LGBT+ refugees community in Berlin\, and creating dance/storytelling projects such as “10/01 Q-Nights : de-orientalized edition “ and QueeЯevolutions a Collective based workshops investigating the concept of queerness as modern colonial discourse on people from SWANA. Ahmad’s performances are movement\,theatrical and digital pieces\, proposing materials\, such as old arabic manuscripts based performances\, different rooted traditions\,rituals\,terminologies\, breaking the stereotype image of what a queer arab performer must and is allowed to offer in the west. From 2017 on\, he’s been walking balls as part of the berlin ballroom scene and since 2019 is a member of "Queer Arab Barty" collective and ASDIQA اصدقاء mentoring program. He performed and produced his own production in Staatstheater Darmstadt \, performed in Heimathafen Neukölln \, Acud Theater\, Tak Theater \, Oyoun\, Uferstudios \, Replika theater.  \nDumama\, born Gugulethu Duma\, is a South African future folk performing artist\, songwriter and cultural researcher. Inspired by issues around inequality and displacement\, she is concerned with projects exploring cultural preservation\, presence and contemplations on futurity. Her interests intersect as practice based performance research\, and interdisciplinary\, collaborative bodies of work centred around political-poetic imaginations. Reimagining folk music of ancestors\, living and deceased\, Dumama works with the voice\, live loops\, hand-made bow instruments\, glitches and distortions. Fascinated by sound’s power\, the tonal emergence and decay in certain frequencies and emotions evoked within these frequencies\, Dumama passionately explores sound as a tool for social transformation and healing. \nDr. Maiada Aboud‘s work deals with ways that social and religious structures interconnect and influence the individual.Using endurance art\, her interest in social\, political\, and religious issues draws on a unique and personal perspective. Born in Palestine (Arab Israeli)\, graduated from Haifa University\, and received her education in the UK: Masters at Coventry University\, and Ph.D. at Sheffield Hallam University. Her studies attempt to connect the social-cultural analysis to the individual‘s experience by way of using performance and relating it to cultural and social life. The intention is to investigate cultural identity using endurance art with the objectives to establish if these performances are linked to collective identities. \nKopano Maroga (they/them) is a performance artist\, writer\, cultural worker and co-founding director of the arts organization ANY BODY ZINE. They are currently living in Brussels\, Belgium and working as a curator and guest-dramaturge at Kunstencentrum Vooruit in Ghent\, Belgium. Their debut anthology of poetry Jesus Thesis and Other Critical Fabulations was released in 2020 through uHlanga Press. They very much believe in the power of love as a weapon of mass construction.

SUMMARY:a'21: Safety From Artificial Intelligence_amberPlatform
DESCRIPTION:►a'21: Safety From Artificial Intelligence_amberPlatform \nHow can we protect ourselves from this surveillance? What kind of application is artificial intelligence used in social issues? How much can we trust artificial intelligence? Can we fool him? \n:: ABOUT THIS EVENT (EN/TR) :: \nBesides the positive aspects of artificial intelligence technology\, which has entered almost every area of our lives\, there are also negative usage areas. What results can our data use without our knowledge or confidentiality agreements we accept without reading? What can be done with synthetic image production? Are we safe enough while the cameras around us detect and record our age\, gender\, and emotions? How can we protect ourselves from this surveillance? What kind of application is artificial intelligence used in social issues? How much can we trust artificial intelligence? Can we fool him? While looking for answers to such questions about the negative uses of artificial intelligence today\, we will mention the use of artificial intelligence as a control and control mechanism\, methods of detecting synthetic images\, studies on 'ethical artificial intelligence' and measures and studies developed against these algorithms. \n► Click "going" on Facebook to stay up to date.\n► Join the event through vimeo \n:: LINKS:: \n►Hakan Gündüz \nInstagram\nFacebook \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 Participants 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

SUMMARY:Closing Ceremony | Embodied Arts Festival
DESCRIPTION:It is within the intersections of body memory and history that our bodies are potentially at their most revealing. Memories interrupt history and open up another possibility of embodied living\, one that spatialises time and temporalises space. Hence\, treating the body as memory and discussing the role of the body in witnessing authoritarian capitalism\, memorialising the torture carried out by dominant socio-political structures\, thus resisting the narrative erasure reproduced by the imperialism at national and global levels. Oyoun's first curatorial focus EMBODIED TEMPORALITIES offered a community-centered approach as a framework for participants to voice their experiences of ancestry\, rituals\, trauma\, death\, loss\, and finding expression for experiences that are otherwise un-shareable\, and often stigmatised in mainstream public discourses while paving the way for collective healing. \nThe EMBODIED ARTS FESTIVAL will present and celebrate the outcomes of this body of work. Join us for the closing ceremony on 18th April. \nThis event will be streamed online. Direct links will follow! \n

SUMMARY:a'21: Absorbing Ignorance: Experiential Illusions_amberPlatform
DESCRIPTION:►a'21: Absorbing Ignorance: Experiential Illusions_amberPlatform \nWhile chronologically reviewing the relationship of the moving image with the observer and the way cinematic editing manages mass perception as an art of creating reality\, we will examine the concept of Immersion as the purpose of breaking away from existence. \n:: ABOUT THIS EVENT (EN/AR) :: \nBut man is the most ignorant in moments in which he trusts himself the most.'' - Ape and Essence\, Aldous Huxley In these short video essays that explore the virtual plane of reality and the realism of virtuality through today's popular culture that evolved from myths\, tales and legends\, we will investigate the history of our gaze now lost in the hypnotic flow of a kind of ignorance glorified under the name of knowledge. While chronologically reviewing the relationship of the moving image with the observer and the way cinematic editing manages mass perception as an art of creating reality\, we will examine the concept of Immersion as the purpose of breaking away from existence. We will touch upon the physical impact of developing ""absorbing"" technologies on the masses\, its relationship with ancient practices such as meditation and hypnosis\, and our main motivations behind our ""Suspension of Disbelief"" processes. Our biggest misconception about ""New Media” - which are the new versions of old formations that have been constructed several times and updated with modern technologies - is perhaps that they are new. By referring to early examples in history and questioning the physicality created by the transformation of Cinematic Technologies\, we will look at concepts such as New\, Media\, Virtual\, Reality from a different perspective. As we discover our efforts to create a seamless illusion of reality\, and therefore the story of the term Virtual Reality dating back to the dawn of our civilisation\, we will approach the narrative-based functioning of human perception - which is at the origin of all these mechanisms - on the basis of the concept of mental fiction. As the ever-growing world of experiential delusions draws us in\, are we also being drawn into our own selves? Is the current form of reality subjective or collective? Or is it time for us to re-define reality all over again? \n► Click "going" on Facebook to stay up to date.\n► Join the event through vimeo. \n:: LINKS :: \n►Lara Kamhi  \nWebsite\nInstagram\nFacebook   \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 Participants 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

SUMMARY:a'21: How Do I Know What I Know?_amberPlatform
DESCRIPTION:►a'21: How Do I Know What I Know?_amberPlatform \nThe workshop focuses on the aesthetics of the cumulative nature of information that is unlearned and relearned in a holistic\, experience-oriented\, democratic and de-colonialist manner\, in which the practice travels around the theory and the mainstream meanings attached are questioned. \n:: ABOUT THIS EVENT (EN) :: \nA collective game based on the simulation of a process in which unverified information turns into fact thanks to its fast-paced distribution in digital environment. The game will be open to everyone's participation on Instagram\, and at the end\, the participants' content contributions will turn into a data analysis and be exhibited. We tend to believe any information we are exposed to on social media. By sharing them with an urge to “keep up with the current”\, we all contribute to the acceptance of the so-called reality produced by online pseudo-sources spreading unverified information by referencing each other. But\, do we know how we have obtained every information we add into this data pool able to turn anything into a fact? “How do I Know What I Know?” asks the participants to join a game/experiment on how unverified information turns into reality on social media. It begins with an image published by the game initiator on Instagram with the #bildiğimineredenbiliyorum and #howdoiknowwhatiknow hashtags. Underneath the image\, she adds the information she wants to share and a fictional or hypothetical story on how she obtained it. Participants either take the image and change the story\, or take the text and share it with another image. This way\, a cloud of unverified data emerges around the hashtags. The images and texts obtained at the end are shared with the public in the form of data mapping. \n► Click "going" on Facebook to stay up to date.\n► Join the event through vimeo. \n\n:: LINKS:: \n► Ipek Yeginsu\nInstagram\nFacebook \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. \nFunded by: Capital Cultural Fund \n► For media and press inquiries\, please email hallo@oyoun.de

SUMMARY:Die neue Lucy-Lameck-Straße - Umbenennung und Rahmenprogramm
DESCRIPTION:Grußwort\nNach einem langen Prozess wird die bisherige Wissmannstraße nun endlich umbenannt. Statt eines Kolonialherren wird die Straße künftig nach Lucy Lameck benannt sein: einer tansanischen Politikerin\, die sich für Frauenrechte und für die panafrikanische Idee eingesetzt hat. Der Umbenennung ging ein umfangreicher Beteiligungsprozess mit der Zivilgesellschaft voraus. \nWas Lucy Lameck mit Neukölln zu tun hat\, wird gelegentlich gefragt. Sie wird unseren Bezirk nicht gekannt haben. Dafür hat aber Neukölln viel mit Lucy Lameck und ihrem Wirken zu tun. Ihr politisches Wirken stellt einen Kontrapunkt zur Kolonialzeit dar. Wir wollen uns als Kommune – zumindest symbolisch – an der Wiedergutmachung der deutschen Kolonialverbrechen beteiligen. \nAls vielleicht vielfältigster Ort der Republik mit Menschen aus 150 Nationen steht Neukölln heute für Diversität\, für ein selbstbestimmtes Leben und gegen jede Form von Rassismus. Menschen aus aller Welt haben in Neukölln ihre Heimat – und mit ihnen unzählige Initiativen\, die sich für unsere gemeinsamen Ziele einsetzen. \nUnser gemeinsames Rahmenprogramm rund um die Straßenumbenennung zeugt davon. Ich lade Sie herzlich ein\, sich daran zu beteiligen – an den Online-Veranstaltungen\, den Spaziergängen und am Festakt am 23. April. Und ich wünsche mir\, dass der Name Lucy Lameck nicht nur eine Adresse ist\, sondern zu einem Statement wird – für die Anwohnenden genauso wie für alle Neuköllnerinnen und Neuköllner. \nMartin Hikel\, Neukölln Bezirksbürgermeister \nIllustration: © Elena Anna Rieser\, elenaannarieser.at \n21.04.2021\, 17:00-18:30 Uhr\nLucy Lameck und ihre Zeit. Historische Einordnung und Kennenlernen – Online-Panel Diskussion (Zoom-Konferenz) \nAm 23. April 2021 findet die offizielle Umbenennung der ehemaligen Wissmannstraße statt. Der richtige Zeitpunkt um die neue Namenspatronin Lucy Lameck und ihre Zeit noch einmal näher kennenzulernen. Wodurch waren die Anfangsjahre des unabhängigen Tansanias geprägt? Wie wurde Lucy Lameck zur ersten Frau im tansanischen Parlament? Wieso war der Panafrikanismus so wichtig? Was steckt hinter der Ujamaa-Idee? Was hat Lucy Lameck damals geleistet und wieso ist ihr Wirken auch heute noch wichtig? \nSolche und ähnliche Fragen versuchen unsere Panelisten zu beantworten. Wir haben hierfür den tansanischen Historiker Dr. Oswald Masebo von der Universität Dar es Salaam\, Dr. Manuela Bauche von der Freien Universität Berlin sowie Prof. Andreas Eckert von der Humboldt Universität Berlin eingeladen. \nDie Zuschauer*innen sind herzlich eingeladen im Chat Fragen an das Panel zu stellen. \nLink zur Zoom-Konferenz: t1p.de/lameck-onlinepanel. \nE-Mail-Kontakt bei Rückfragen: mk-amtwbku@outlook.de  \nVeranstalter: Amt für Weiterbildung und Kultur\, Abteilung Bildung\, Schule\, Kultur und Sport des Bezirksamtes Neukölln \n\n23.04.2021\, 16:00–18:00 Uhr\nFestakt zur Benennung der Lucy-Lameck-Straße - (Livestream) \nDie offizielle Umbenennungszeremonie findet im Garten von Oyoun statt. Im Anschluss an die Begrüßungsreden erfolgt die offizielle Enthüllung des Namensschildes an der Ecke Karlsgartenstraße. Zum Abschluss findet im Garten von Oyoun eine Performance der Gruppe Out Of Time Embassy statt. \nDie Veranstaltung ist pandemiebedingt auf maximal 50 Personen begrenzt. Deshalb wird die Veranstaltung auch live bei YouTube und auf der Homepage des Bezirksamts übertragen. Wir bitten deshalb möglichst um eine Online-Teilnahme. \nBei der Veranstaltung sprechen Martin Hikel (Bezirksbürgermeister von Neukölln)\, S.E. Dr. Abdallah Saleh Possi (Botschafter der Vereinigten Republik Tansania)\, Karin Korte (Bezirksstadträtin für Bildung\, Schule\, Kultur und Sport) sowie Mnyaka Sururu Mboro (Mitbegründer und Vorstandsmitglied Berlin Postkolonial e. V.). Begleiten wird das Programm u.a. die Musikschule Paul Hindemith. \n \n\n24.04.2021\, 16 Uhr\nDECOLONIZE NEUKÖLLN! Sonderführung mit Berlin Postkolonial. Startpunkt an der Ecke Lucy-Lameck-Straße/Karlsgartenstraße\n\nAnlässlich der feierlichen Umbenennung der Neuköllner Wissmannstraße in Lucy-Lameck-Straße\, für die sich der Verein Berlin Postkolonial seit seiner Gründung 2007 gemeinsam mit anderen Aktivist:innen eingesetzt hat\, laden wir zur Sonderführung Decolonize Neukölln! ein. \nIm Rahmen des Rundganges beleuchten wir die Persönlichkeiten des alten Namensgebers Hermann von Wissmann ebenso wie die der Streiterin für die Unabhängigkeit Tansanias\, Lucy Lameck. \nAuf dem Neuen Garnisonsfriedhof am Columbiadamm besichtigen wir die Ehrengräber deutscher Militärs\, die an der gewaltvollen Kolonisierung der heutigen Staaten Togo\, Tansania\, Somalia und Namibia beteiligt waren.\nDabei soll auch die 2009 eingelassene Gedenktafel für die (ungezählten) Opfer des (unerwähnten) deutschen Genozids an den (ungenannten) Ovaherero und Namas kritisch thematisiert werden. \nVeranstalter: Berlin Postkolonial e. V. in Kooperation mit dem Bezirksamt Neukölln \n\n28.04.2021\, 17:00-18:30 Uhr\nDekoloniale Erinnerungskultur und Aktivitäten in Neukölln – ONLINE-GESPRÄCH (Zoom-Konferenz) \nNeben der Lucy-Lameck-Straße gibt es mit dem sogenannten Herero-Stein auf dem Garnisonsfriedhof einen weiteren wichtigen Ort zur kolonialen Vergangenheit in Berlin. Zu beiden Orten gab es jahrelange zivilgesellschaftliche Kämpfe gegen die Verharmlosung der Kolonialvergangenheit. Zwei Vertreter aus der afrikanischen Community referieren dazu.

OOTE embodies an international unity for seemingly disparate worlds\, building bridges and creating safe spaces for expression to be cultivated and nurtured. Together\, they produce outdoor pop up concerts such as Sonic In(ter)ventions and artist led workshops such as Ancestral Body Noise. OOTE has collaborated with organizations such as Oyoun\, Onebeat\, Cabuwazi\, and Alex TV and has plans to produce work in 2021 with the support of Musicboard Berlin. \n“The collective emerged out of a pure necessity to create and build community. Microcosms of the local and immigrant scenes in Berlin connected\, trying to heal a state of internal angst in response to global mess. A weekly ritual [Sonic In(ter)ventions] organically curated itself; passions and skills synthesized and the community building ideology manifested as a sustainable collective.” \nAs cultural workers we are committed to cultivating learning environments of empowerment while curating spaces that honor free artistic expression and societal engagement. Together\, with such essential services as artistic production\, creative education\, and collective meditation\, we affirm the need for a society of wellbeing. OOTE is committed to supporting communities of globally disenfranchised individuals\, groups and artists navigating complex migration histories and lived experiences. We strive to support and create safe space to express and produce artistic visions in an ever more de-colonial world. \nVeranstalter: Eine Koproduktion von Out Of Time Embassy (OOTE)

SUMMARY:Gen Z Dialogues – an online exploration of vulnerability and collaboration
DESCRIPTION:Gen Z is coming of age in a time of sociopolitical and ecological crises\, gathered in online spaces that leave many overwhelmed and paralysed. Our exposure to crowded Social Media platforms causes\, more often than not\, disengagement and news-fatigue\, paired with insecurities around self-image. Which story does Gen Z tell together? How do they navigate online spaces between education\, empowerment and exposure? And what is the power of vulnerability? \nGen Z Dialogues explores online dialogues as spaces for vulnerability\, creativity and empathy\, zooming in on diverse\, international Gen Z voices. Naomi Hattler has captured intimate and authentically documented video dialogues revolving around the theme of vulnerability and the potential of all-pervasive connectivity as a young generation. These dialogues have come together in an artistic research platform exploring the creative potential and possibilities of engaging in online dialogues. Gen Z Dialogues has evolved into an international network of co-creators from Spain\, Canada\, Ukraine\, Indonesia\, Belgium\, the Netherlands\, Poland\, Sweden and Germany that was merely built through online communication. The conversations touch upon topics such as gender identities\, toxic competition\, social activism and empowerment. The socially-engaged project inspires urgent discourse and gives impulses to rethink daily online interaction. \nIn an interactive Zoom event\, Naomi Hattler shows her graduation work\, accompanied by an interactive program with two guest speakers and discussion participants from artistic and (queer-feminist) activist backgrounds.
Oyoun is happy to provide a platform for this event. \nProgram: \n19:00 Welcome & Introduction \n19:10 Screening\n19:45 Gen Z Discussion \n20:15 Future Game\n20:40 Q&A\n21:00 Closing
 \nWhere:  On Zoom - Please register here. \nImportant note: By signing-up for the event\, you agree on the entire event being recorded. The maker will use the audio documentation with care & respect as valuable material for her further research. \nGuest speakers: \nDebora Heijne (she/her) is a Dutch Art Educator and Dance Maker\, developing\, researching and working with Art Dialogue as a natural part of education\, in any field of study. (Link: www.debora24-7.nl)
 \nDaniel Schimmelpfennig (he/him) is a Futurist exploring intergenerational time gates towards narrative explorations of vulnerability on the blending between sciences\, films\, games\, theatre\, comics and literature. (www.danielschimmelpfennig.com)
 \nCurator: \nNaomi Hattler
 \nComing from an interdisciplinary arts background\, Naomi Hattler is a maker and project leader who emphasizes a critical and engaged approach in honest conversations beyond the formal interview format. This is as important to her as daring to follow a fascination without planning the artistic outcome. For Naomi\, the creation of art is to engage with her own visions and stories\, with those of others through an almost journalistic approach and with the bigger discourses and pressing questions that surround us. By portraying different perspectives and putting them alongside each other\, she hopes to offer space for inspiration and reflection. 
 \nFor her current graduation project on Generation Z - her generation - Naomi is exploring the potential of vulnerability to create meaningful online interaction and mutual empowerment. Against the background of the Anthropocene\, she senses a big urgency to look beyond the comfort zone and to explore the meaning of community and cooperation today as individual actions that are increasingly intertwined with a collective responsibility. Naomi is particularly interested in exploring how far the enormous connectivity within her generation contributes to a shift in how Gen Z - as a collaborating\, global community - takes on responsibility for their common future.

SUMMARY:Lucy Lameck  x Sonic In(ter)ventions
DESCRIPTION:Replacing monuments and renaming streets is an emancipatory and liberatory act of our time. Lucy Lameck x Sonic In(ter)ventions is a global amplification act and artistic witness for Berlin's historic street renaming: "Wissmannstraße" turned "Lucy-Lameck Straße". At the intersection of art\, music\, and healing justice\, Out of Time Embassy (OOTE) produces their first public project in dedication to Lameck\, an anticolonial activist and one of the first female cabinet members in Tanzania's post-independence government. Hosted by Oyoun and supported by Musicboard Berlin\, OOTE brings together decolonial activists in a series of panel discussions\, screened interviews from the Lucy Lameck Neighborhood\, and ritualistic concerts of global trance musics that support liberatory and resistance movements\, as Sonic In(ter)ventions. \nOut of Time Embassy (OOTE) maintains the responsibility of representation and empowerment. Lucy Lameck x Sonic In(ter)ventions explores changes in Berlin's history by opening discussions on memory politics\, cultural exchange\, and honouring the city's legacy of migration. As culture makes important contributions to politics and often swells the tides of change\, OOTE chooses to demonstrate and celebrate the spectrum of decolonial urban practices. OOTE boosts the voice and mission of Lucy Lameck in posing the question\, "how do we want to engage with the ways history informs our shared creation of space and reality?" \nThis event is organised in partnership with Mushroom Hour Half Hour (South Africa) and Found Sound Nation (New York City). \n  \nSchedule of Events\nJune 19 - LIVE STREAM\n\n13:00 panel discussions\n16:00 screening of interviews with neighborhood of Lucy-Lameck\n17:00-20:00 Sonic Interventions performance\n\nJune 20 - LIVE STREAM\n\n13:00 panel discussions\n16:00 neighborhood Street Studio listening session\n17:00-20:00 Sonic Interventions performance\n\n  \n--- \nMore about the event and organisers here: Lucy Lameck x Sonic In(ter)ventions\, Out of Time Embassy (OOTE) \n

SUMMARY:Sonic In(ter)ventions | Out of Time Embassy
DESCRIPTION:Sonic In(ter)ventions is a jam session. As cultural workers responding to the times with community building\, Out of Time Embassy (OOTE) consciously meld together sound and healing to form sessions of high-energy improvisation. Spaces are reimagined as interactive meditation sites for historical excavation\, archival protest\, and creative processing. Open and free artistic expressions are cultivated with an intention of decentralizing and celebrating the knowledge production process through action based art forms such as dance and music. \nOOTE is a collective that emerged out of a pure necessity to create and build community. It is a multicultural group of curators producing conversation and curiosity about art and culture and civic engagement\, meditating on local and global impacts of cultural work. OOTE embodies an international unity for seemingly disparate worlds\, building bridges and creating safe(r) spaces for expression to be cultivated and nurtured. Together\, we produce outdoor concerts such as Sonic In(ter)ventions\, a weekly ritual\, which organically curated itself in the wake of the BLM protest and amidst the global pandemic.  \n5-10€ \nTickets/Donations can be acquired via Eventbrite (link will follow) or on the door. We want to remain accessible\, so we invite you to come and pay what you can. We have some Solidarity Tickets for those who can not afford it. We kindly ask you to be honest with yourself. \nDoors open 5:30pm and we will play until 9pm. \nMore details on instagram: @outoftimeembassy

SUMMARY:Exilio\, migración y memoria. | Exil\, Migration und Erinnerung.
DESCRIPTION:Exilio\, migración y memoria. \n¿Tienes algún familiar alemán antifascista que se exilió a Latinoamérica entre 1933 y 1945?¿Volviste a las raíces? ¿Con qué te encontraste cuando regresaste a lo que fue tu país de origen? \nComo parte del proyecto “Jetztzeit - Lebenserinnerungen zur Migration” se realizará unos encuentros de familiares de exiliados que en la actualidad retornaron a vivir a Alemania. \nEl objetivo general de estos encuentros es crear espacios de reflexión\, de confianza mutua y de participación\, en los que la voz de los inmigrantes pueda ser transmitida y comprendida por otros miembros de la comunidad. Así\, estas reuniones representan un ejercicio de memoria colectiva y la experiencia personal de la migración se transforma de problemática individual a colectiva dentro de la comunidad. \nEn el primer encuentro nos haremos preguntas como ¿quiénes fueron aquellos familiares y qué sabemos acerca de su exilio en Latinoamérica? ¿Por qué decidimos retornar a Alemania? ¿Cómo es nuestra experiencia actual como migrantes? Nos ayudarán para crear un espacio seguro en donde compartir y conocer otras personas que tienen historias similares. \nEn el segundo encuentro trabajaremos en una cartografía de la memoria colectiva a partir del uso archivos\, fotos\, collage\, dibujos\, poemas. Estos medios los usaremos en el presente para visualizar migraciones\, territorios y memorias que se viven individualmente\, pero al mismo tiempo son colectivas y se las puede encontrar nuevos sentidos desde nuestro presente. \n\nEl workshop será dado en alemán y español.\nLos dos encuentros serán presenciales y en un espacio al aire libre. En caso que llueva se realizará en una sala.\nSe puede participar de uno o de ambos encuentros.\nSolicitamos previa inscripción debido a que tenemos un cupo limitado.\n\nLos encuentros buscan ser un espacio seguro donde podemos expresarnos además de motivar a quien desea poder trabajar con sus archivos en un proyecto artístico o cultural en Berlín.\nQuienes deseen participar puede comunicarse a info.jetztzeit@gmail.com \n\n------- \nExil\, Migration und Erinnerung. \nHast du deutsche antifaschistische Familienangehörige\, die zwischen 1933 und 1945 ins lateinamerikanische Exil gingen? Bist du zu den Wurzeln zurückgekehrt? Was hast du vorgefunden\, als du in das Herkunftsland zurückgekommen bist? \nIm Rahmen des Projekts "Jetztzeit - Lebenserinnerungen zur Migration" findet eine Begegnung von Angehörigen von Vertriebenen statt\, die heute wieder in Deutschland leben. \nDas generelle Ziel dieser Begegnungen ist es\, Räume zur Reflexion\, für gegenseitiges Vertrauen und für Partizipation zu schaffen\, bei denen die Stimme der Migranten an andere Personen der Gemeinschaft weitergegeben und verstanden werden können. Somit stellen diese Treffen eine Übung zur kollektiven Erinnerung dar und die persönlichen Erfahrung der Migration werden innerhalb der Gemeinschaft von individuellen zu kollektiven Problematiken: \nIn einem ersten Treffen werden Fragen gestellt wie: Wer waren diese Verwandten und was wissen wir über ihr Exil in Lateinamerika? Warum haben wir uns entschieden\, nach Deutschland zurückzukehren? Wie sind unsere aktuellen Erfahrungen als Migranten? Diese Fragen werden uns helfen\, einen sicheren Raum zu schaffen\, in dem wir uns austauschen und andere Menschen treffen können\, die ähnliche Geschichten haben. \nBei dem zweiten Treffen werden wir an einer Kartographie der kollektiven Erinnerung arbeiten und dabei Archive\, Fotos\, Collagen\, Zeichnungen und Gedichte verwenden. Wir werden diese Medien heute benutzen\, um Migrationen\, Territorien und Erinnerungen zu visualisieren\, die individuell gelebt werden\, aber gleichzeitig kollektiv sind und aus unserer Gegenwart heraus neue Bedeutungen finden können. \n\nDer Workshop findet auf Deutsch und Spanisch statt.\nBeide Treffen werden im Freien durchgeführt. Bei Regen wird das Treffen in einem Raum stattfinden.\nEs ist möglich\, an einem oder beiden Treffen teilzunehmen\nEine Anmeldung ist erforderlich\, da wir nur über einen begrenzten Platz verfügen.\n\nDie Treffen sollen ein sicheres Umfeld bieten\, in dem wir uns ausdrücken und außerdem diejenigen motivieren können\, die an einem künstlerischen oder kulturellen Projekt in Berlin mit den Archiven arbeiten wollen.\nWer mitmachen möchte\, kann uns schreiben an: info.jetztzeit@gmail.com
