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:a'21: The Intermingled_BAAB Collective
DESCRIPTION:The name of the exhibition is pointing over a huge success of the sit-in space during the Sudan revolution that people come together which never happened in the history of (what's call Sudan) and which shows a victory against the plan of colonialism and the post colonialism operation that's mean to suppress the unity of the Sudan peoples by cruel wars and racism lead to un talk able slavery and very ugly class difference. \n:: ABOUT THIS EVENT (EN/AR) :: \nHere we joined our killer\, our hearts hunted a paid bullet. Here we conquered our fear\, shit and differences. Here a zgrudah (ululation) from a revolutionist mixed with the cheerful machine gun that killed a child\, that freedom whispered in his eager ears a false hope. Here the bloods of martyrs intermingled with a saxophonist soldier whose soul escaped the shame. Here we met with little's\, elders\, bosses and poor's. Here we encountered with smiles and assassins. Here we waited for Atbara artillery*. Here the fear\, joy\, tiredness\, devotion\, love and freedom. Here they killed youths but they couldn't kill their dreams. Here we brought earth and heaven together in a portrait that even the ancient gods cannot imagine . * It is the most powerful & reputed unit in the Sudan army\, the revolutionists waited its interference for long\, but to no avail & eventually it turned into a joke. \n► Click "going" on Facebook to stay up to date.\n► Join the event through vimeo. \n:: LINKS :: \n► BAAB Collective \nInstagram\nYoutube\nFacebook\nTwitter \nParticipants: \n► Rayan Elhadi Elsayed Hima\nInstagram \n► Nour Yahya Hamza Yahya\nInstagram \nFacebook \n► Bakry Mohamed Salih \nFacebook \n► Elsadig Mohmmed Ahmed \nInstagram \n► Mohamed Salah Elmur \nInstagram\nFacebook \n► Mustafa Elsiddeg Mustafa Gasemlbari:\nInstagram\nFacebook\nYoutube \n\n► Marwan Osman \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 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: The new liberalism crises and the emergence of mediatised subjectivity_BAAB Collective
DESCRIPTION:►a'21: The new liberalism crises and the emergence of mediatised subjectivity_BAAB Collective \nDuring in the last past decade Sudanese get harm by the US sanctions that affect the whole state and now we are shifting to neoliberal state supporting by US politics and come the question how the new system work and exactly when come to personal information and rights. \n:: ABOUT THIS EVENT (EN/AR) :: \nIn previous eras it often appeared that in relation to the media political action was stifled primarily by the fact that people didn't have sufficient access to information or the\nmeans to communicate and express their own views. Indeed today repressive governments attempt to limit access to websites\, close down blogs and Facebook pages\, attack journalists\, and generally block access to information. Countering such repression is certainly an important battle\, and we have repeatedly witnessed how media networks and access to them eventually and inevitably overflow. All such barriers\, thwarting attempts to close and silence.\nToday's mediatised subjects suffer from the opposite problem\, stifled by a surplus of information\, communication\, and expression. "The problem is no longer getting people to express themselves\," Gilles Deleuze explains\, "but providing little gaps of solitude and silence in which they might eventually find something to say. Repressive forces don't stop people from expressing themselves\, but rather\, force them to express themselves. What a relief to have nothing to say\, the right to say nothing\, because only then is there a chance of framing the rare\, and ever rarer\, the thing that might be worth saying." The problem of surplus\, however\, is not really homologous to the problem of lack\, and it is not even a matter of quantity. \n► Click "going" on Facebook to stay up to date.\n► Join the event through vimeo.  \n:: LINKS :: \n► Baab Collective \nInstagram\nYoutube\nFacebook\nTwitter \nParticipants: \n►Rayan Elhadi Elsayed Hima: performance artist @rayisherelol \n►Nour Yahya Hamza Yahya: performance artist @nwara_yahya facebook.com/noor.yahya.319 \n►Bakry Mohamed Salih\nFacebook \n►Elsadig Mohmmed Ahmed\nInstagram \n►Mohamed Salah Elmur\nInstagram \nFacebook \n►Mustafa Elsiddeg Mustafa Gasemlbari\nFacebook\nInstagram\nYoutube \n►Osman \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:Opening 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. \nJoin us online for the opening ceremony on 8th April to dive deeper into the topics and get introduced to the projects and the people behind them. We'll be kicking off with a meditation led by Nane Kahle\, artist\, healer and practitioner of the ancient Egyptian Kemetic yoga system “Tjef Sema Paut Neteru''. The meditative session brings us inwards\, wakes up our body\, opening up the eleven-day festival\, while generating a spiritual\, psychic and physical connection among all the people who have gathered around in the physical and virtual spaces of Oyoun. \nFollowing the opening ceremony\, the spotlight will be put on Sujatro Ghosh's project: The Geography of Hate. The artists presented by Sujatro explore hate as a tool for systematic violence. The exhibition explores the fundamental anatomy of hate as a creature of subjugation. Two performances - by Farah Deen and Karin Cheng and by Fatmanur Sahin and Team - will be streamed from Oyoun's main stage and then there will be a digital walk-through of the exhibition with Sujatro. \nThe event will be streamed on Oyoun's Vimeo\, YouTube and Facebook channels. \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--- \nIn den Überschneidungen von Körpergedächtnis und Geschichte sind unsere Körper potenziell am aufschlussreichsten. Erinnerungen unterbrechen die Geschichte und eröffnen eine andere Möglichkeit des verkörperten Lebens\, eine\, die die Zeit verräumlicht und den Raum verzeitlicht. Daher behandeln wir den Körper als Gedächtnis und diskutieren die Rolle des Körpers als Zeuge des autoritären Kapitalismus\, indem wir die von den dominanten sozio-politischen Strukturen ausgeübte Folter in Erinnerung behalten und uns so der narrativen Auslöschung widersetzen\, die vom Imperialismus auf nationaler und globaler Ebene reproduziert wird. \nOyouns erster kuratorischer Schwerpunkt EMBODIED TEMPORALITIES bot einen community-zentrierten Ansatz als Rahmen für die Teilnehmer\, um ihre Erfahrungen mit Abstammung\, Ritualen\, Trauma\, Tod und Verlust zu artikulieren und einen Ausdruck für Erfahrungen zu finden\, die sonst nicht geteilt werden können und die im öffentlichen Mainstream-Diskurs oft stigmatisiert werden\, obwohl sie den Weg zu kollektiver Heilung bereiten. \n\nDas EMBODIED ARTS FESTIVAL wird die Ergebnisse dieser Arbeit präsentieren und feiern. \nSei online bei der Eröffnung am 8. April dabei und tauche tiefer in die Themen ein - und lerne die Projekte und die Menschen dahinter kennen. Wir fangen mit einer von Nane Kahle geleiteten Meditation an\, die uns alle auf allen Ebenen verbinden wird.  \nNach der allgemeinen Einführung steht das Projekt The Geography of Hate im Fokus. Die von Sujatro Ghosh vorgestellten Künstler*innen beschäftigen sich mit dem Thema Hass als Werkzeug für systematische Gewalt und Othering. Die Ausstellung erforscht die grundlegende Anatomie des Hasses als ein Wesen der Unterwerfung. Zwei Performances - von Farah Deen und Karin Cheng sowie von Fatmanur Sahin und Team - werden von der Hauptbühne des Oyoun gestreamt\, anschließend gibt es einen digitalen Walk-through durch die Ausstellung mit Sujatro. \nDie Veranstaltung wird auf Oyouns Vimeo-\, YouTube- und Facebook-Kanälen gestreamt. \n  \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. 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. Siehe alle Events hier.

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.

SUMMARY:The Geography of Hate | Performance & Exhibition Walk-Through
DESCRIPTION:Hate is an entity that spreads like a wildfire. An entity that creates "the Other". It becomes the prime lens through which the Other is read and dehumanised. Hate exists as an emotion that brings communities or groups together questioning expressions such as empathy\, love and care. In the collective act of the world making it plays an important role by almost becoming an economy. In its most obtrusive expression\, hate is violent\, working as an apparatus of desolation. \nThe Geography of Hate by Artist-Activist Sujatro Ghosh questions hate as a tool for systematic violence and otherisation. Through collective expressions\, he explores the fundamental anatomy of hate as an entity of subjugation. The project tackles questions such as: ‘How is this Other created and why do certain hate attach to this other and slides over the rest?’ ‘How and why is violence the ultimate materialisation of hate?’ \nThe project's 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.  \nJoin us online for this event on the 8th. Two performances - by Farah Deen and Karin Cheng and by Fatmanur Sahin and Team - will be streamed from Oyoun's main stage and then there will be a digital walk-through of the exhibition. The walk-through will be led by Sujatro Ghosh. \n\n--- \nThis performance and exhibition walk-through event will be streamed on Oyoun's Vimeo\, YouTube and Facebook channels.

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:Ascension – Intimate Bodies Forbidden Stories
DESCRIPTION:Ascension is a theatre play -  an outcome of a durational project about gender\, femininity and menstruation. The project engaged participants with a community debate in order to reflect on gender equality and social change. The project explored menstruation\, taboos\, and identity from all potential directions such as historical\, political\, embodied\, cultural\, religious\, social\, health\, and artistic concerns. \nParticipants took part in various online workshops dealing with femininity and pain\, which lead us to a final outcome of a theatre play which we will present to you during the EMBODIED ARTS FESTIVAL at Oyoun.  \nThe workshops/rehearsals started in January providing a safe space to communicate femininity\, pain\, therapy\, and collective engagement and discussions with other women. Throughout the project\, the participants had the opportunity to engage with presentations and online conferences/debates about gender issues and taboos. The project aimed at building a community debate around those taboos and forbidden corners of the female body. \nThe play will be followed by a discussion with the director and the participants. We will follow all the emotional\, physical and artistic development throughout the project: from the beginning till end. \nAscension was initiated and led by Dr. Maiada Aboud\, whose work deals with ways that social and religious structures interconnect and influence the individual. She attempts to connect the social-cultural analysis to the individual‘s experience by way of using performance and relating it to cultural and social life.  \nProject participants: Antonia Führ\, Christina Gabriela Galli\, Maria Trinks and Uli Pilwax \n  \nThis event will be streamed on Oyoun's Vimeo\, YouTube and Facebook channels. \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:The Body Undone Film Screening: "Nakorn-Sawan"
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. (This is limited to people in Germany)  \nThere is a Q&A event happening with the film's director on 11th April at 16:00\, see here for details. \n  \nNakorn-Sawan\nPuangsoi Aksornsawang\n77” | Thailand/Germany | 2018 | Thai with English Subtitles \n \nIn her directorial debut\, Puangsoi Akornsawang blurs the lines between memory\, fact\, and fiction in a delicate contemplation of the meaning of life in the presence of death. In this hybrid film\, documentary footage from the filmmaker’s life is combined with the fictional story of a young woman returning home after the passing of her mother to scatter her ashes in the “Heavenly City.” The film is a delicate meditation on love\, loss and memory. \n\nAfter her graduation from the Motion Picture and Still Photography Department of Chulalongkorn University\, Bangkok\, Thailand\, Puangsoi Aksornsawang received many opportunities to exhibit her short film Swimming Pool at various student film festivals.

SUMMARY:The Body Undone Film Screening: „Birha“
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.

SUMMARY:Ilk عِلْق - (Per)forming a Queer Arab Muslim Futuristic Vision
DESCRIPTION:Ahmad Baba (Cyclomorphosis)\, is a Berlin-based Lebanese multidisciplinary performer\, a social artist\, and a Master's student in Dance Movement Therapy. With Ilk عِلْق\, Ahmad is investigating queerness from a queer Arab perspective\, tracking the roots of queer lives lived in Arabic and Muslim societies going back centuries. It is an investigation into how queerness has become\, like so many other things\, a form of colonialism\, that is forced on so many identities that don’t necessarily fit under that umbrella\, but find themselves being drawn to it because of the lack of development in their own individual and collective queer existence.  Ilk عِلْق will set out a queer Arab Muslim futuristic vision\, that starts with healing through rewriting histories on one’s own terms and (re)building an identity that has been much misinterpreted and distorted. \nThis performance and discussion event during Oyoun's EMBODIED ARTS FESTIVAL will be a visual experimental journey\, that shifts between three dimensions (Bab). The audience will have the possibility to cross through different time frames that manifest different approaches to Arab queerness\, from an abandoned past\, through a corrupted present\, and to a euphoric futurism. \n \nAhmad will draw inspiration for the performance elements from manuscripts such as Adab al-jins 'inda al-'Arab (The Erotic Writings of the Arabs) and Nuzhat Al-Albab Fima La Yujad Fi Kitab (A Promenade of the Hearts) by Amazigh poet\, writer\, and anthologist Ahmad Al tifashi (1184-1253 A.D). This should create a bridge over all the erasure that has been applied in modern times\, and increase understanding of how the queer Arab and Muslim identity can emerge by reclaiming times where queerness and homosexuality have been accepted\, tolerated and even studied. \nInspired by the name of the book "A Promenade of the Hearts" - this performance will be a promenade of questioning what we knew\, and what we know\, and what is still to come. \nThe performance screening (produced in collaboration with Mansur Ajang) will be followed by a discussion with the artist around the vision and motivation for the visual performance. \nThis event will be streamed on Oyoun's Vimeo\, YouTube and Facebook channels. Direct links will follow! \n  \nFor the discussion following the performance\, Ahmad will be joined by Fadi Saleh. \nFadi Saleh is a PhD candidate at the Institute of Cultural Anthropology and European Ethnology\, University of Göttingen. His research and teaching focus on queer and trans issues from a transnational perspective\, with a focus on migration\, humanitarianism\, and the politics of representation and knowledge production in/on the Middle East. Outside of academia\, he has worked in different LGBTIQ organizations across the SWANA region and Europe in different training\, consultancy\, adovcacy\, and activist capacities. \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 which have come out of the projects will be presented and celebrated during the EMBODIED ARTS FESTIVAL from 8th - 18th April. View all events here. \n  \n--- \nAhmad Baba (Cyclomorphosis) ist ein in Berlin lebender libanesischer multidisziplinärer Performer\, sozialer Künstler und Masterstudent in Tanz- und Bewegungstherapie. Mit Ilk عِلْق untersucht Ahmad Queerness aus einer queeren arabischen Perspektive und spürt den Wurzeln des queeren Lebens in arabischen und muslimischen Gesellschaften der letzten Jahrhunderte nach. Ilk عِلْق ist eine Untersuchung darüber\, wie Queerness\, wie so viele andere Dinge auch\, zu einem Aspekt des Kolonialismus geworden ist\, der so vielen Identitäten aufgezwungen wird\, die nicht unbedingt unter diesen Schirm passen\, sich aber aufgrund der fehlenden Entwicklung ihrer eigenen individuellen und kollektiven queeren Existenz zu ihm hingezogen fühlen. Ilk عِلْق wird eine queere arabisch-muslimische Zukunftsvision entwerfen\, die mit der Heilung durch das Neuschreiben der Geschichte zu den eigenen Bedingungen und dem (Wieder-)Aufbau einer Identität beginnt\, die vielfach fehlinterpretiert und verzerrt worden ist. \nDiese Performance- und Diskussionsveranstaltung im Rahmen von Oyouns EMBODIED ARTS FESTIVAL wird eine visuelle experimentelle Reise durch drei Dimensionen (Bab) sein. Das Publikum wird die Möglichkeit haben\, verschiedene Zeitebenen zu durchqueren\, die unterschiedliche Herangehensweisen an arabische Queerness zeigen - von einer verlassenen Vergangenheit über eine korrumpierte Gegenwart bis hin zu einem euphorischen Futurismus. \nAhmad ließ sich für die Performance-Elemente von Manuskripten wie Adab al-jins 'inda al-'Arab (Die erotischen Schriften der Araber) und Nuzhat Al-Albab Fima La Yujad Fi Kitab (Eine Promenade der Herzen) des amazighischen Dichters\, Schriftstellers und Anthologen Ahmad Al Tifashi (1184-1253 n.Chr.) inspirieren. Indem er auf eine Zeit zurückgreift\, in der Queerness und Homosexualität akzeptiert\, toleriert und sogar studiert wurde\, baut er eine Brücke über all die Rückschläge errichten\, die queere arabische Menschen der Neuzeit erleiden mussten\, und zeigt\, wie eine queere arabische und muslimische Identität beschaffen sein kann. \nIn Anlehnung an den Namen des Buches "Eine Promenade der Herzen" wird diese Performance eine Promenade des Hinterfragens dessen sein\, was wir gewusst haben\, was wir wissen und was noch kommen wird. \nIm Anschluss an das Performance-Screening (produziert in Zusammenarbeit mit Mansur Ajang) findet eine Diskussion mit dem Künstler über die Vision und Motivation für die visuelle Performance statt. \nDiese Veranstaltung wird auf Oyouns Vimeo-\, YouTube- und Facebook-Kanälen gestreamt.  \n  \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. 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. Siehe alle Events hier.

SUMMARY:a'21: Underground women_BAAB Collective
DESCRIPTION:► a'21: Underground women_BAAB Collective \nThis Exhibition is a discussion panel. This event explains how women suffer and gives information about the manipulation of the system to get the information about women health and sexuality and how that affect them by exposing them to the major risk behaviour and conciseness and how this lead to heights mortality rate in the word and this due to lack of information and tools of protection by the states systematic oppressions. \n:: ABOUT THIS EVENT (EN/AR) :: \nDespite digital advancements\, the spread of technology and the availability of information\, information is still hoarded by specific parties. This is attributed to the povertisation policies\, the oppression of freedoms and the forms of capitalist colonisation. And in this regard\, third world countries\, especially those with a relogenies background are the worst in intentionally spreading ignorance . The current global system has been produced by the colonial system\, and it leads to the existence of countries that monopolies institutions like education\, law\, and health. This was imposed by the formation of certain ministries\, like health and the health of a person shifted from a responsibility of the family and the society\, to become the responsibility of the state. This has led to communities losing basic information about human health\, especially in terms of women and sexual health . According to statistics\, Sudan has the highest mortality rate of female deaths worldwide\, and this is due to existing policies in Sudan and worldwide un equality\, as well as lack of information. From the above\, came the idea to focus attention on such issues . As Sudanese feminist\, African women coming from Islamic cultures and conservative families with educational privileges. Thus\, came the idea for making a short movie\, inspired by our personal experiences\, that discusses issues of women and sexual health\, and how rooted they are in society in the form of misinformation and myths . Movie name: Underground Women. Concept of the movie: The movie is composed of a dialogue about women health and sexuality between two female friends who share a living\, in a small one bedroom apartment. Ray is a feminist women who graduated from medical school\, and Nour\, is another feminist woman who graduated from the school of economics. \n► The event link will be shared a few days before the event.

SUMMARY:The Body Undone Q&A - "Nakorn-Sawan" & "Birha"
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 Nakorn-Sawan director: Puangsoi Rose Akornsawang and Birha director: Ekta Mittal. 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. \nNakorn-Sawan will be available for 24 hours starting at 21:00 on 9th April. \nBirha will be available for 24 hours starting at 14:00 on 10th 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  \nNakorn-Sawan\nPuangsoi Aksornsawang\n77” | Thailand/Germany | 2018 | Thai with English Subtitles \n \nIn her directorial debut\, Puangsoi Akornsawang blurs the lines between memory\, fact\, and fiction in a delicate contemplation of the meaning of life in the presence of death. In this hybrid film\, documentary footage from the filmmaker’s life is combined with the fictional story of a young woman returning home after the passing of her mother to scatter her ashes in the “Heavenly City.” The film is a delicate meditation on love\, loss and memory. \n\nAfter her graduation from the Motion Picture and Still Photography Department of Chulalongkorn University\, Bangkok\, Thailand\, Puangsoi Aksornsawang received many opportunities to exhibit her short film Swimming Pool at various student film festivals. In 2011\, she started her film production career as an assistant director and a scriptwriter. In 2014\, she had the academics DAAD scholarship and graduated from Master of Fine Arts at the University of the Arts Hamburg in 2018. She is based in Bangkok working as a director\, a writer and a scriptwriter. \n\nWriter & Director: Puangsoi Aksornsawang\nProducers: Anocha Suwichakornpong\, Parinee Buthrasri\, Puangsoi Aksornsawang\nDirector of Photography: Boonyanuch Kraithong\nEditor: Lee Chatametikool\nSound Designer: Akritchalerm Kalayanamitr\nMusic Composer: Jitivi Banthaisong\nCast: Prapamonton Eiamchan\, Jarunun Phantachat\, Phumipat Thavornsiri. \n  \nBirha\nEkta Mittal\n80” | India | 2018 | Hindi\, Punjabi with English Subtitles \n \nIn a faraway village called Birha\, missing people\, mothers and tired lovers yearn to see beyond the mist.

SUMMARY:Ancestral Body Noise: Rituals of Real(ese) Ceremony
DESCRIPTION:[deutsch unten] \nThe Ancestral Body Noise:  Rituals of Real(ese) Ceremony is a procession concluding and honouring the six-week-long\, intercultural healing incubator curated and facilitated by cultural researcher\, future-folk musician and life-long psycho-spiritual student\, Gugulethu ‘Dumama’ Duma. The five participants identify as part of the BIPOC diaspora in Berlin: KooCha\, Indrani Ashe\, Yin Cheng-Kokott\, Sailesh Naidu and Suelen Calonga.  \nIn the spirit of the programme’s emphasis on biomythography and ancestral reconnection\, the ritual process honours remnants of ritual through kinaesthetic and vocal intimacy\, engaging the power of a collective creativity developed amidst political and social resistance in a time of social distancing.The ceremony holds space for the ritual performances of each participant and their exploration into what their ancestral body noise manifests in their multiplicity. \nThe event will be streamed on Oyoun's Vimeo\, YouTube and Facebook channels. \n  \nAbout the performers\nYin Cheng-Kokott is a Taiwanese multidisciplinary performance artist\, certified yoga meditation teacher\, emergent choreographer\, and writer. She started professional training in contemporary dance\, gaga\, and various bodywork since she moved to Berlin five years ago. She meditates on tarot and yoga as a gateway to creative healing with others. Yin seeks to continue nurturing her creative skills for self-expressing and knowledge-sharing\, with love. > yinitis.com \nSuelen Calonga's work is situated between audiovisual\, performance\, and\, more recently\, is moving towards strategies of artistic research as a poetic method in order to contain both her transmedia autobiographical narrative and the critique of processes and procedures that sustain the colonization of knowledge through arts and social sciences. Brazilian from Contagem\, based in Berlin. > suelencalonga.com \nSailesh Naidu is a writer\, researcher\, and performance artist working in the sphere of migration\, gender\, and education. Their work interrogates the queer body as territory\, ancestral knowledge\, and building of queer personal narratives as archive. > migrationpersuasions.com \nKooChaa is a multi-disciplinary performance artist and activist. "I am fascinated by what happens when masks fall and people meet each other in their vulnerability - what comes out behind it - insecurity\, complex chaos\, and pure beauty. Growing up as a black queer woman in Franconia in a village with only one street in and no way out\, I initially tried not to stand out: get good grades\, be friendly\, be Franconian\, fit in. In my early twenties\, through contemporary dance and physical theater - and later through Butoh - I discovered my body\, which has fascinated and inspired me ever since. For me\, art is a means of liberation from given social (body) norms and rules or the search for a way to deal with them - a place where I feel alive and can determine my own rules. \nInterdisciplinary artist Indrani Ashe ইন্দ্রাণী responds to a world in which transnational histories and hybrid identities have been strategically marginalized and erased\, where profit-based algorithms continue the work of colonialism and imperialism\, and perception becomes reality. Ashe was born in North Carolina in the United States\, to an Indian mother whose parents fled the state of Bengal after the violent political upheaval of partition\, and a father descended from Welsh-English settlers of the Appalachian Mountains. Wresting the narrative from these hegemonical structures\, she creates necessary mythologies at the interplay between image\, text\, and performance: an intersectional feminist shadow archive\, which regenerates a damaged past and creates potential realities for the future. > indraniashe.com \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 \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 fünf Teilnehmer*innen dieses Inkubators identifizieren sich als Teil der BIPOC-Diaspora in Berlin: KooCha\, Indrani Ashe\, Yin Cheng-Kokott\, Sailesh Naidu und Suelen Calonga.  \nIm Geiste des Programmschwerpunkts Biomythographie und Wiederverbindung mit den Vorfahren ehrt der rituelle Prozess die Überreste des Rituals durch kinästhetische und vokale Intimität und nutzt die Kraft der kollektiven Kreativität\, die sich inmitten von politischem und sozialem Widerstand in dieser Zeit sozialer Distanzierung entwickelt hat. Die Zeremonie bietet Raum für die rituellen Performances der einzelnen Teilnehmer*innen und deren Erkundung dessen\, was ihr jeweiliges Ancestral Body Noise in all ihrer Vielfältigkeit manifestiert. \nDie Veranstaltung wird auf Oyouns Vimeo\, YouTube und Facebook Kanälen gestreamt. \n  \nÜber die Performer*innen\n\nYin Cheng-Kokott ist eine taiwanesische multidisziplinäre Performance-Künstlerin\, zertifizierte Yoga- und Meditationslehrerin\, aufstrebende Choreografin und Autorin. Als sie vor fünf Jahren nach Berlin zog\, begann sie eine professionelle Ausbildung in zeitgenössischem Tanz\, Gaga und verschiedener Körperarbeit. Sie meditiert über Tarot und Yoga als Tor zur kreativen Heilung mit anderen. Yin möchte ihre kreativen Fähigkeiten zum Selbstausdruck und zum Teilen von Wissen mit Liebe weiter pflegen. > yinitis.com \nSuelen Calonga\, in Berlin lebende Brasilianerin aus Contagem\, bewegt sich mit ihrer Arbeit zwischen Audiovisuellem und Performance. Seit einiger Zeit sucht sie nach Strategien der künstlerischen Forschung als poetische Methode\, die sowohl ihre transmedial angelegte autobiografische Erzählung umfasst\, als auch die Kritik an Prozessen und Prozeduren\, die die Kolonisierung von Wissen durch Kunst und Sozialwissenschaften aufrechterhalten. > suelencalonga.com \nSailesh Naidu ist Schriftstellerin\, Forscherin und Performancekünstlerin und arbeitet im Bereich Migration\, Gender und Bildung. Ihre Arbeit befragt den queeren Körper als Territorium\, angestammtes Wissen und den Aufbau von queeren persönlichen Erzählungen als Wissensarchiv. > migrationpersuasions.com \nKooChaa ist multidisziplinäre Performance-Künstlerin und Aktivistin. "Mich fasziniert\, was passiert\, wenn die Masken fallen und sich Menschen in ihrer Verletzlichkeit begegnen - was dahinter zum Vorschein kommt: Unsicherheit\, komplexes Chaos und pure Schönheit. Aufgewachsen als schwarze queere Frau in Franken in einem Dorf mit nur einer Straße hinein und keiner heraus\, habe ich zunächst versucht\, nicht aufzufallen: gute Noten bekommen\, freundlich sein\, fränkisch sein\, reinpassen. In meinen frühen Zwanzigern entdeckte ich durch zeitgenössischen Tanz und Physical Theatre - und später durch Butoh - meinen Körper\, der mich seitdem fasziniert und inspiriert. Kunst ist für mich ein Mittel zur Befreiung von vorgegebenen gesellschaftlichen (Körper-)Normen und Regeln oder die Suche nach einem Umgang damit - ein Bereich\, in dem ich mich lebendig fühle und wo ich meine eigenen Regeln setzen kann. \nDie interdisziplinäre Künstlerin Indrani Ashe ইন্দ্রাণী reagiert auf eine Welt\, in der transnationale Geschichten und hybride Identitäten systematisch marginalisiert oder ganz ausgelöscht wurden\, in der profitorientierte Algorithmen das Werk von Kolonialismus und Imperialismus fortsetzen und die eigene Wahrnehmung mit der Realität verwechselt wird. Ashe wurde in North Carolina als Tochter einer indischen Mutter geboren\, deren Eltern nach den gewaltsamen politischen Umwälzungen der Teilung Indiens aus Bengalen geflohen waren\, und eines Vaters\, der von walisisch-englischen Siedlern aus den Appalachen abstammt. Indem sie ihr Narrativ diesen hegemonialen Strukturen entreißt\, schafft sie im Zusammenspiel von Bild\, Text und Performance notwendige Mythologien: ein intersektionales feministisches Schattenarchiv\, das eine beschädigte Vergangenheit regeneriert und potentielle Realitäten für die Zukunft schafft. > indraniashe.com \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

SUMMARY:a'21: Sudavision_BAAB Collective
DESCRIPTION:► a'21: Sudavision_BAAB Collective \nThis events aims to show how Sudanese men suffer to express gender equality and freedom of expression against class and race. It shows us who we are and presents our self to the other by using recycling materials. It is our way to point out claimant change in the global south. \n:: ABOUT THIS EVENT (EN/AR) :: \nA Fashion art project aiming to explore Sudanese tribal costumes and to reflect the art behind it. Bringing different tribal costumes into the futuristic visionary fashion world and introduce the globe to what Sudan poses in this art domain. This project comes to show the world that Sudan is not only what media and politicians have been trying to reflect to people and impose into their minds. It is a land full of diversity in ethnics\, religions and colours that have been oppressed over the decades and detached from its identity. This oppression by Islamic regime and the world's media presenting Sudan in a cloche way have led to the world's ignorance with these heritages and cultures. And the oppression being applied on these communities have created a huge gap in people’s perception to their own culture and heritage. It has also created hate towards men who do jobs that are perceived as women’s job such as fashion design and tailoring . There for I came up with this project idea to express my love for fashion and allow for the coming generations of Sudan to be able to explore their passion without fearing the judgment of their society and to understand that there is no art that is gender bonded. I as a queer artist coming from these oppressive/oppressed patriarchal societies where any difference is classified as a threat that needs to end in whatever way\, I want to show people of my land and the world how our cultures are unique and how worlds media shouldn’t make us hate it neither hate ourselves for being part of it. Through this art project I want to celebrate this heritage and display Sudan’s fashion in a modern futuristic vision that makes us see how precious it is to look back at our roots and be proud of them. In this project ten Sudanese tribal costumes will be redesigned in a modern futuristic way using different recycled materials and fabrics. These costumes have carried the heritage of tribes and kept them uniquely identified by their techniques of sawing and tailoring as well as their bright color selection. My passion for fashion and design drives me to explore my rich multicultural region and aspire to present these rich cultures and their fashion in a way that haven’t been introduced to the media and the globe. As well as tell the story of black fashion artist and fanatics that have been foreseen over the decades. \n► Zoom Baab collective ID: 9897877156 (3 days before event) \n► Join the event through Vimeo. \nMore Infos on Facebook. \n::Panel participants:: \n►Rayan Elhadi Elsayed Hima\nInstagram\n►Nour Yahya Hamza Yahya\nInstagram\nFacebook\n►Bakry Mohamed Salih\nFacebook\n►Elsadig Mohmmed Ahmed\nInstagram\nFlickr\n►Mohamed Salah Elmur: artist \nInstagram \nFacebook\n►Mustafa Elsiddeg Mustafa Gasemlbari\nFacebook\nInstagram \n►Marwan Osman \n:: LINKS :: \n►BAAB Collective\nInstagram\nYoutube\nFacebook\nTwitter \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 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 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 \nwww.oyoun.de @oyounberlin \n► For media and press inquiries\, please email hallo@oyoun.de

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: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: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.

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. (This is limited to people in Germany)  \n  \nDebut\nAnastasiya Miroshnichenko\n80” | Belarus | 2017 | Russian with English Subtitles \n \nOver 1\,500 women are detained in a Belarus prison as first-time offenders. 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.

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
