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: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.

Are these new digital possibilities transferring our information untouched? \n>> Are they truly generating the right image of us? >>> 🙁 >>> Are they truly generating the right image of us? >>> 😐 >>> Are they truly generating the right image of us? >>> :/ \nThis exhibition includes the work of artists who currently reside in the Middle East or have lived in it in the past and have changed their locations due to various reasons .today they have based their communications are on digital platforms as opposed to the traditional ways and are using different potentials of the digital technology to study the different effects of technology on different affairs like culture\, politics\, morality\, science\, and much more.

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.

Zu beiden Orten gab es jahrelange zivilgesellschaftliche Kämpfe gegen die Verharmlosung der Kolonialvergangenheit. Zwei Vertreter aus der afrikanischen Community referieren dazu. Doch in Neukölln gibt es aktuell auch wichtige dekoloniale Ansätze. Mit dem geplanten öffentlich zugänglichen Kunstprojekt „Dekoloniales Denkzeichen“ soll ein wichtiger Impuls gesetzt werden. \nBeiträge zum Online-Gespräch von:Mnyaka Sururu Mboro (Berlin Postkolonial): Aktivistischer Widerstand aus der afrikanischen Community gegen die Wissmannstraße\nIsrael Kaunatjike (Herero-Vertreter): Der „Herero-Stein“ und die „Namibia-Gedenkplatte“ auf dem Garnisonsfriedhof – Wie Völkermord verschwiegen wird\nMichael Küppers-Adebisi (Berlin Global Village): Das Projekt Dekoloniales Denkzeichen und weitere dekoloniale Ansätze bei Berlin Global Village \nWir bitten um Anmeldung bis zum 27.04.2021 an: info@berlin-global-village.de .

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: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: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: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: 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: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: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. She has received her B.A. in Fine Arts from the University of Damascus and went on to study Film Animation at Concordia University. She created experimental documentaries and experimental short drama films that were screened in film festivals and contemporary art museums across the world.

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:BLACK AS I AM QUEER AS I AM BLACK: A Black Queer Poetics reading session
DESCRIPTION:A journey into black queer poetics through the music\, poetry and performance works of self-identified black and queer artists from around the world. \nKopano Maroga and Maneo Mohale are two black queer cuties who have some questions about what constitutes so called blackness and so called queerness in the realm of poetics.

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.

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

SUMMARY: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.

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. They have exhibited in the Netherlands\, Germany\, the United Kingdom\, United States and South Africa. Their most recent solo exhibition was part of the National Arts Festival in Makhanda. They are currently the Head of Painting at The University Currently Known As Rhodes\, South Africa. \nPure is a multidisciplinary Artist | Mother | Creator | Afrofuturist | Pansexual | Expressionist | Performer | Feminist | Plant Based | Seeker. 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.

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:Black Trans Futures | Go Find Me
DESCRIPTION:A talk with Danielle Brathwaite-Shirley and Ebun Sodipo dedicated to giving Black Trans people a space to speculate on their present allowing thought of how a Black Trans future could come from the space we are in now. \nDanielle Brathwaite-Shirley is a London- and Berlin-based Black trans artist\, game developer and mother. Through video game aesthetics and technologies\, Danielle aims to bring to the forefront the experiences of Black trans women and\, more generally\, to archive the Black trans experience. \nEbun Sodipo is an artist and writer making work for those who will come after: the black trans people of the future. Their interdisciplinary practice narrates their construction a black trans-feminine self after slavery and colonialism. Through a process of fragmentation\, collage\, and fabulation\, they devise softer\, other-wise ways of imagining and speaking about the body\, desire\, archives\, and the past. Their recent work considers the instinctual\, bodily desires and pulls Sodipo feels as recognitions and readings of an embodied knowledge that connects them physically across space and time to non genetic trans ancestors\, providing an alternate account of ’transness’\, agency\, and the archive. \n  \nYou can register here to take part in the discussion on zoom. Please note this event will also be streaming live on Vimeo\, YouTube & Facebook. \n  \nGo Find Me\nGo Find Me is a digital archive of Black Trans people designed by Danielle Brathwaite-Shirley. Black Trans people have a history of being erased. Archives have failed to collect any first-hand recordings of our histories. Often the way trans people are archived reinforces or centers the violence we experienced whilst living. An archive that holds a Black trans experience needs to be careful about not recreating and centering trauma. Archives created by Trans people for Trans people can enable us to more accurately record our existence. Creating our own archives allows us to use different methods of archiving to more fully record a Trans perspective. \nThe aim of this project was to create an interactive fantasy archive that records conversations around Black trans online spaces\, organising\, bringing trans inclusive spaces offline and care through fiction. Through a series of workshops\, designing avatars to represent those involved\, interviews\, and soundscapes created for the environment. The end project will be an interactive archive that can be hosted both online and physically. Different areas and conversations within the archive will be accessible depending on your identity and choices within it. Not all the archive may be accessible to the viewer at any one time. \nInspired by Online game (MMORPG's) recording the missions and quests Black trans people go through when exploring the internet. : Looking for representation\, looking for Hormones\, looking for their history\, creating groups to hold space for others\, combating trolls\, etc. \n--- \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:a'21: Threshold Infrastructures of Residual Spaces-I “Surplus of Destruction”
DESCRIPTION:► a'21: Threshold Infrastructures of Residual Spaces-I\n“Surplus of Destruction” \n:: ABOUT THIS EVENT (EN/TR) :: \nOur workshop -in three parts- implicates complex cartographies of images of forced displacement and war circulating in the digital sphere. We are particularly interested in discussing the social\, material\, cultural\, and political dimensions of digital media infrastructures and threshold infrastructures of residual spaces and related diverse issues such as counter-surveillance\, transversal labor conditions\, access\, curation\, and disruption of violence and social inequalities through visual documentation specifically open-source archives.\nInfrastructure is the object between form and law as architect Keller Easterling defines: “Infrastructure is considered to be a hidden substrate—the binding medium or current between objects of positive consequence\, shape\, and law” (K.Easterling\, 2014). Recently\, the discourses of infrastructure reveal the role of infrastructure in more complex ways. Incomplete and failures of infrastructure are often related to the nature of the infrastructural functions that prolong the process of the infrastructure projects. The process becomes more important (than the complete infrastructure itself) where actors such as the state\, local governments\, developers\, and citizens debate or negotiate\, which leads to more profit and surplus. In short\, instead of the complete object or presentation itself; the incomplete\, the continuous failure\, or the process of infrastructure becomes the vital part. Failure of infrastructure or interruption of infrastructural function brings co-existence of alternative ways of infrastructure in the network of such cities. Infrastructure as an assemblage is another current discourse of infrastructure. As geographer Stephan Graham describes: ” …urban infrastructures as complex assemblages that bring all manner of human\, non-human\, and natural agents into a multitude of continuous liaisons across geographic space” (Graham\, 2010). We call “Threshold Infrastructure” as multiple thresholds of spaces and mediums.\nThe first part of our workshop focuses on the specific region in Turkey that has been witnessing intense political\, cultural conflicts\, urban destruction\, internal migration\, and psychological outcomes for over four decades. Thus\, it is possible to witness the neighborhoods where buildings and humans become waste and garbage in the affected region. We present our continuous visual research that focuses on the residual space\, its dynamics and representations\, and the circulation of the subject and object in the towns; Diyarbakır\, Mardin\, and Cizre. While tracing the sociological\, economic\, and cultural reflections of the invisible sign and unrecorded paths that lasted from urban transformation and migration footsteps on the recorded material\, the workshop takes into its center the methodologies of forensics and ge-ontologies of visual documentation. \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* 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:The Body Undone Film Screening - "Debut"
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? \nEach film is available for a selected timeframe during Oyoun's EMBODIED ARTS FESTIVAL.  \nContact us at hallo@oyoun.de to get sent the link and password to view the film.

Eleven incarcerated women have volunteered to take part in a theater play. Whether to break out of their routine in prison\, to undergo some sort of therapeutic treatment or to prepare themselves for the time after their release from jail by role-play\, each partakes in the project for their own reasons. The rehearsals serve as the leitmotif for this balanced portrait that subtly frees these women from the stigma of being criminals. The women talk as mothers\, daughters and wives. Anastasiya Miroshnichenko’s documentary Debut is a rare and intimate glimpse into a seemingly distant world. \nAnastasiya Miroshnichenko studied at the Belarusian State Academy of Arts (Documentary Film Directing department) and the State Academy of Postgraduate Education (Higher School of Advertising). She has been working in television since 2008 as a director of historical\, entertainment and scientific TV programs. Her first documentary Crossroads (2014) won international TV and festivals acclaim\, had a world premiere at Warsaw IFF\, was awarded there with two prizes: Special Mention Jury Award and Audience Award. \nDirector/ Screenplay: Anastasiya Miroshnichenko\nProduction: Viktar Labkovich \nExecutive Producer: Darya Labkovich \nCinematography: Alexander Moroz\nEditor: Varfalamey Kuraga\nSound: Viacheslav Kruk\nMusic: Boris Lankov \nMore information: taskovskifilms.com \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.

Die von Sana Rizvi ausgewählten Filme befassen sich mit verschiedenen Arten von Verlust\, getragen von unterschiedlichen Körpern - mit einem Fokus auf Erzählungen von neuen Stimmen. Der Film\, selbst ein verkörpertes Gedächtnis\, lädt Dich dazu ein\, über die folgende Frage nachzudenken: Können wir neue Möglichkeiten in der Verarbeitung von Verlust und Trauer entdecken\, indem wir Räume zulassen\, in denen diese Gefühle auf verkörperte Weise festgehalten und anerkannt werden? \nJeder Film ist während unseres EMBODIED ARTS FESTIVALS für einen ausgewählten Zeitraum verfügbar.  \nSchriebe uns unter hallo@oyoun.de\, um den Link und das Passwort zum Ansehen des Films zu erhalten.

Elf inhaftierte Frauen haben sich freiwillig für die Mitwirkung an einem Theaterstück gemeldet. Um vorübergehend den Gefängnisalltag hinter sich zu lassen\, um eine Art therapeutische Behandlung zu erfahren\, um sich durch das Rollenspiel auf die Zeit nach der Haftentlassung vorzubereiten - jede nimmt aus ganz eigenen Gründen an dem Projekt teil. Die Proben dienen als Leitmotiv für dieses ausgewogene Porträt\, das die Frauen auf subtile Weise von dem Stigma befreit\, Kriminelle zu sein. Die Frauen sprechen als Mütter\, Töchter und Ehefrauen. Anastasiya Miroshnichenkos Dokumentarfilm-Debüt ist ein seltener und intimer Einblick in eine scheinbar sehr ferne Welt. \nAnastasiya Miroshnichenko studierte Dokumentarfilmregie an der Belarussischen Staatlichen Akademie der Künste und Werbung an der Staatlichen Akademie für Höhere Bildung. Seit 2008 arbeitet sie im Fernsehen als Regisseurin von historischen\, unterhaltsamen und wissenschaftlichen TV-Sendungen.

SUMMARY:The Body Undone Q&A - "The Body Remembers When the World Broke Open"
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 The Body Remembers When the World Broke Open directors: Elle-Máijá Tailfeathers and Kathleen Hepburn. You are invited to join in the conversation.  \nThis event will take place on zoom\, you can register here. Please note that the zoom discussion will be live-streamed on Oyoun's online platforms - YouTube\, Vimeo and Facebook. \nThe Body Remembers When The World Broke Open will be available for 12 hours starting at 14:00 on 12th April. \nContact us at hallo@oyoun.de to get sent the link and password to view the 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  \nThe Body Remembers When The World Broke Open\nElle-Máijá Tailfeathers\, Kathleen Hepburn\n105” | Canada/Norway | 2019 | English \n \nTwo Indigenous women from vastly different backgrounds find their worlds colliding as one of them\, Rosie\, is fleeing a violent domestic attack. What begins as an urgent and terrifying escape tentatively expands as the women weave a fragile bond in their short time together while navigating the complexities of motherhood\, class\, race\, and the ongoing legacy of colonialism. \nElle-Máijá Tailfeathers is a filmmaker\, writer\, and actor based in Vancouver\, British Columbia. She is Blackfoot from the Kainai First Nation (Blood Reserve) as well as Sámi from northern Norway. She holds a bachelor’s degree from the University of British Columbia in Indigenous Studies with a Minor in Women's and Gender Studies. Tailfeathers was the 2018 Sundance Institute Merata Mita Film Fellow and is an alumni of the Berlinale Talent Lab\, the Hot Docs Accelerator Lab\, the CFC/NFB/Ford Foundation Open Immersion Virtual Reality Lab\, the Whistler Film Festival Aboriginal Film Fellowship\, and the International Sámi Film Institute Indigenous Film Fellowship. The Body Remembers When The World Broke Open is her debut narrative feature. \nKathleen Hepburn is a Vancouver born writer and director whose debut feature\, Never Stead Never Still\, which Variety Magazine calls a "stoically broken-hearted debut\," premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2017 and was awarded Best Canadian Film and Best Director by the Vancouver Film Critics Circle\, as well as Special Jury Prize at the Dublin International Film Festival.She holds an MFA in Creative Writing\, and a BFA in Film Production from the Universities of Guelph and Simon Fraser respectively. \nDirectors/ Writers: Elle-Máijá Tailfeathers\, Kathleen Hepburn\nProduced by: Tyler Hagan\, Lori Lozinski\nProducer: Alan R.

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: Becoming With Fungi_Mary Maggic
DESCRIPTION:►a'21: Becoming With Fungi_Mary Maggic \nA bio art workshop with Mary Maggic. \n:: ABOUT THIS EVENT (EN/AR) :: \nHuman industrial activity (petrochemical\, agricultural\, and pharmaceutical) has permanently altered the planet through the widespread presence of xenoestrogens\, or endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs). Molecules such as BPA\, phthalates\, PCBs\, dioxins\, and synthetic hormones have hormone-mimicking and displacing properties\, and are able to enter and communicate in the molecular semiosphere that we share with almost all animal taxa. While these molecules alienate us from our prescribed notions of “normal” and “natural\,” our bodies stolen by capitalists interests\, this alienation joins us in a shared species vulnerability as we all live-with and become-with these all pervasive toxicities. Is there life among alien ruins? \nIt will be a live workshop hosted in the artist's location in Vienna\, and that it will be livestreamed. The workshop will start with a presentation about the research followed by the hands on fungi protocol. The workshop was conceived through a collaborative residency program at Hangar in Barcelona in 2017 with artists Rian Hammond and Paula Pin. \n► Click going on Facebook to stay up to date\n► Event will be streamed on vimeo. \n:: LINKS :: \n►Mary Maggic \nInstagram\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 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\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:Decolonial Contemporary African Diasporic Visions | Exocé Kasongo at May-Ayim-Ufer
DESCRIPTION:The multidisciplinary afrocentric artist Exocé Kasongo will walk the ground at May-Ayim-Ufer in Berlin-Kreuzberg\, he will move\, dance\, act\, read and sing. He will wear clothes created by Souleyman\, which feature the fabrics visualizing Exocé’s collage work. The performance is the culmination of Exocé’s five-month project D.C.A.D.V (Decolonial Contemporary African Diasporic Visions)\, a search for identity and heritage\, artistic manifestation of ‘last rebel’. \nThis performance will be streamed on Oyoun's  YouTube\, Vimeo\, Facebook and Instagram channels. \nThe project “D.C.A.D.V (Decolonial Contemporary African Diasporic Visions)” by Exocé Kasongo was able to be realized by collaborative works of Astan Meyer\, Etsuki\, Ibrahima Ndiaye and Souleyman. \n  \nAbout the location:\nMay-Ayim-Ufer is a street in Berlin-Kreuzberg\, which was re-named in 2010 after the Afro-German poet\, educator\, and activist\, May Ayim. \nMay Ayim was born in 1960 in Hamburg\, the child of a German student and Ghanaian medical student. She wrote her thesis at the University of Regensburg\, "Afro-Deutsche: Ihre Kultur- und Sozialgeschichte aus dem Hintergrund gesellschaftlicher Veränderungen" (Afro-Germans: Their Cultural and Social History on the Background of Social Change)\, which was the first scholarly study of Afro-German history. Combined with contemporary materials\, it was published as the book Farbe Bekennen: Afro-deutsche Frauen auf den Spuren ihrer Geschichte (1986). This was translated and published in English as Showing Our Colors: Afro-German Women Speak Out (1986). It included accounts by many women of Afro-German descent. She published many other writings and worked as an activist to unite Afro-Germans and combat racism in German society. She co-founded Initiative Schwarze Menschen in Deutschland (Initiative of Black People in Germany) to that purpose in the late 1980s. \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.
