SUMMARY:Higher Self Breathwork – Let’s heal together: Celebrating Black Stories
DESCRIPTION:(English version below) \nKennt ihr euren Atem? \nUnser Atem ist uns so nah\, aber manchmal auch so weit weg. Mit einem bewussten\, konzentrierten und vollen Atem ist es möglich\, in einen erweiterten Bewusstseinszustand einzutreten. Das erlaubt uns\, unsere Überzeugungen zu hinterfragen und die Perspektive zu wechseln. Wir können uns selbst in einem geschützten Rahmen wahrnehmen und kennenlernen. Wann habt ihr das letzte Mal bewusst ein- und ausgeatmet? Euer Atem ist ein Ausdruck eurer jeweiligen aktuellen Lebensphase und spiegelt diese wider. \nGemeinsam mit MiTu laden wir euch zum Breathwork im Oyoun ein. Breathwork ist eine Art geführte\, dynamische Trance-Atemmeditation. Sie kann genutzt werden\, um kollektive und persönliche Prozesse des Wandels und der Transformation einzuleiten.  \nSeid ihr bereit\, die Kraft des Atems zu spüren? \nBitte bringt eure eigene Yogamatte mit. \nWeitere Infomartionen zum Breathwork findet ihr hier! \n→ Die Teilnahme an dem Kurs kostet 25 Euro \nTickets sind über Eventbrite erhältlich -  klicke hier! \nDie Veranstaltung ist wahlweise in Englisch oder Deutsch. \n*** \nÜber MiTu:  \nMiTu wurde 1982 geboren und wuchs in Süddeutschland auf\, einer Kultur\, mit der er sich nicht identifizieren konnte\, so dass er sich in seiner frühen Kindheit die Frage stellte: Wer bin ich?\nMitu beschloss\, seine eigene Musik zu machen und wurde für einige Jahre Rapper\, inspiriert von seiner ersten Liebe\, der "Musik". Allerdings war er als Rapper nicht glücklich und beschloss\, noch einmal ganz von vorne anzufangen. Mit seinem neuen Selbstverständnis zog er nach Berlin\, wo er wie viele andere ungesunde Erfahrungen mit Sex\, Drogen und toxischen Beziehungen machte. Er litt unter Angstzuständen und Panikattacken\, die ihn zu einem schweren Zusammenbruch führten. Dieses Mal stellte er sich die Frage: Wer will ich sein? Begleitet von Lehrer*innen aus verschiedenen Kulturen begab er sich auf eine Reise\, um sein wahres Selbst zu finden.\nEr begann\, sich so zu akzeptieren\, wie er war\, und lernte\, sich selbst kennen und lieben. Je mehr er sich seiner selbst bewusst wurde\, desto bewusster wurde er sich auch seiner Lebensweise. Was er tut\, mit welcher Absicht\, mit welchem Bewusstsein. Auf die Frage\, wer er ist\, hat er heute endlich Antworten. Nun möchte er Menschen helfen\, die die gleichen oder ähnliche Fragen haben. Als Healing Artist begleitet er Menschen in ihren Prozessen und auf ihrer Reise zur Selbstfindung mit Hilfe von Atem- und Körperarbeit. \n(IG:@mitu.iseeyou) \n  \n*** \n◥ Bitte beachten: Für diese Veranstaltung gelten die 2G Plus-Vorschriften.

Your breath is your constant companion. And with a conscious\, focused and full breath\, it is possible to enter an expanded state of consciousness. This allows us to question our beliefs and change perspective. To perceive and get to know ourselves in a protected setting. When was the last time you consciously breathed in and out? Your breath is an expression of your current life phase and reflects it. \nTogether with MiTu\, we invite you to join us for Breathwork at Oyoun. Breathwork is a kind of guided\, dynamic trance breathing meditation. It can be used to initiate collective and personal processes of change and transformation.  \nAre you ready to feel the power of your breath? \nPlease bring your own Yoga Mats with you. \nMore info about Breathwork you can find here! \n→ Participation in the course costs 25 euros. \nTickets are available via Eventbrite - You can find the link here! \nThe event is optionally in English or German. \n*** \nAbou MiTu \nMiTu was born in 1982 and grew up in the south of Germany\, a culture with which he could not identify\, so in his early childhood he asked himself the question: Who am I?\nMitu decided to create his own music and became a rapper for a few years with inspiration from his first love\, "Music." However\, he was not happy as a rapper and decided to start all over again. With his new sense of self he moved to Berlin where he had unhealthy experiences like many others with sex\, drugs and toxic relationships. He suffered from anxiety and panic attacks which caused him to have a big breakdown. This time he asked himself the question: Who do I want to be? Accompanied by teachers from different cultures\, he embarked on a journey to find his true self.\nHe began to accept himself as he was and learned to know and love himself. The more aware he became of himself\, the more aware he became of his way of living. What he does\, with what intention\, with what consciousness. The questions of who he is\, finally has answers today. Now he wants to help people who have the same question or similar ones. As a Healing Artist he accompanies people in their processes and journey to finding self using Breath and Body Work. \n(IG:@mitu.iseeyou) \n*** \n◥ Please note: 2G Plus regulations apply to this event.

SUMMARY:Manuscripts of Foreign Body(s) (screening + discussion) in Birmingham
DESCRIPTION:During the LGBT History Month UK\, Berlin based Lebanese multidisciplinary performer and social artist Ahmad BaBa will present a plethora of his bodies of work in collaboration with SHOUT Festival and Midlands Arts Centre. His work focuses on claiming more visibility for underrepresented communities such as the LGBT+ refugee community in Berlin\, and creating dance/storytelling projects. \nManuscripts of Foreign Body(s) is a documentation film of performance workshops by Ahmad BaBa and Michalina Mrozek that focuses on TLGBQIA+ bodies of colour. The bodies here are seen in their continuous duality; both as a sites of oppression and resilience. This collective workshop invited artists from different disciplines to come together and create a safe(r) space(s)\, for investigating bodies on different levels\, and bring forward narratives that speak to their own personal stories. \nAhmad BaBa collaborates with Michalina Mrozek\, a filmmaker and film educator who has been working as an independent filmmaker in Berlin since the beginning of 2013. She has many years of experience in educational work with youth and young adults as a project manager and filmmaker. For the past four years\, she has increasingly realised projects with LGBTQ+ communities that aim for more visibility and tolerance. \nAhmad is accompanied in Birmingham by his assistant director Mansur Ajang. \n \nManuscripts of Foreign Body(s) Trailer 2021 from Ahmad BaBa on Vimeo. \n→ The event is free of charge\, but registration is required. \nAbout Ahmad BaBa \nAhmad BaBa is a Lebanese visual and performance artist based in Berlin. His work is rooted in critical interdisciplinarity and anti-oppressive practices. With a performing arts background and currently working towards his MA in Dance and Movement Therapy\, Ahmad focuses on developing embodied arts and therapeutic processes. As conventional pedagogies around body work reproduce systemic oppression in institutions\, he works against viewing the effect of oppression as political mediums and complexities that fall outside of the “norm”. Ahmad's practice works to centralise lived experiences as the core element for collective transformations through approaches based on a " by us\, for us” framework\, the rewriting of bodies' stories through dance\, and redefining trauma-related oppression(s). Some of his previous projects and workshops include “Manuscripts of Foreign Body(s)”\, “Deconstructing Aesthetics of Embodiment” and “ QueeЯevolutions”. His visual performances approach identity from a critical and collective archivist perspective that revolve around understanding Queerness in relation to the multilayered Arab*Muslim identity(s). This has shown through in his work “ Ilk علق“\, which is an investigation into how queerness has become a form of colonialism\, erasing and homogenising many identities and ways of being that don’t necessarily fit under "Queer" as an umbrella term." \nInstagram // Facebook \nAbout Mansur Ajang \nMansur Ajang is a performer\, director and coach working with marginalised communities in Berlin. One focus of his work is theatre productions with long-term unemployed people that unleash the potential of people in social and economic circumstances through artistic creativity. He was trained at the Elisabethbühne of the Schauspielhaus in Salzburg. First engagements followed at the Theatre of the Young World in Leipzig\, Staatstheater Darmstadt and Ballhaus Ost Berlin. He is a member of the ensemble of the Magdeburg Theatre since 2022. Ilk is his second production with the performance artist Ahmad BaBa. \nAssistant Director: Mansur Ajang // Facebook \nAbout the residency \nAhmad BaBa’s residency with SHOUT Festival & Midlands Arts Centre (MAC) is part of the the ongoing research\, exhibition and performance project "Embodied Temporalities - tracing the memories our bodies hold" by Oyoun. \nWhat memories do our bodies hold? What can our bodies tell us about ourselves\, pasts\, and futures? Through Embodied Temporalities – Tracing the memories our bodies hold\, cultural practitioners explore identities\, belonging and embodied memories through diasporic\, decolonial and queer perspectives. It offers a community-centred approach for participants finding expression of experiences through movement while paving the way for collective healing. Embodied Temporalities is a research\, archiving\, exhibition and performance project under the artistic direction of Madhumita Nandi. \nArtistic-Director: Madhumita Nandi // Instagram \nThe touring of Embodied Temporalities is realised in partnership with SHOUT Festival\, Liv’in Festival\, Play Perform Learn Grow and Live Green. \n\nThis international collaboration is made possible by Perform Europe. Perform Europe is an EU-funded project aiming to rethink how performing arts works are presented across borders in a more inclusive\, sustainable and balanced way by testing new touring and distribution practices and providing policy recommendations for a future EU support scheme. This 18-month journey includes a research phase\, launching a digital platform\, testing a support scheme\, and designing policy recommendations. \n\nPerform Europe is funded by the Creative Europe Programme of the European Union and co-managed by a Consortium of 5 organisations: IETM – International network for contemporary performing arts\, the European Festivals Association (EFA)\, Circostrada\, EDN – European Dancehouse Network\, and IDEA Consult. \nMAC Birmingham: Website // Instagram \nSHOUT/Birmingham LGBT: Website // Instagram \n

SUMMARY:Deconstructing the Aesthetics of Embodiment (workshops) in Birmingham
DESCRIPTION:During the LGBT History Month UK\, Berlin based Lebanese multidisciplinary performer and social artist Ahmad BaBa will present a plethora of his bodies of work in collaboration with SHOUT Festival and Midlands Arts Centre. His work focuses on claiming more visibility for underrepresented communities such as the LGBT+ refugee community in Berlin\, and creating dance/storytelling projects. \nOur embodiment experiences differ due to gender\, race\, class\, ability and sexual orientation. Somatics and body oriented therapies/practices\, want to see all bodies as one object. However\, oppression(s) experienced by QTBIPOC\, Queer and Trans bodies of colour shape who they are. We must emphasise more on understanding oppression(s) as a form of traumas that live in the bodies\, and build toward anti-oppressive critical practices that centre lived experiences as a core witness of being in the world. Therefore\, aiming for transformation processes\, through allowing our bodies to speak for themselves\, and have spaces that aren’t titled ONLY as “safe” but to achieve safety through a collective consciousness that arises from our experiences that are often perceived as foreign. \nIn this workshops\, we will process\, using dance and movement interventions\, how we can deconstruct the ONE standardised way of having a body and being present in it\, and allowing those bodies to go beyond and bring forward the stories they hold within. The workshops will last 3 hours; including an opening circle\, several interventions and a closure/reflection round ending the session. You don't need to have dance experience. \n \nManuscript of AHMAD from Michalina on Vimeo. \n→ The event is free of charge\, but registration is required. \nAbout Ahmad BaBa \nAhmad BaBa is a Lebanese visual and performance artist based in Berlin.

SUMMARY:QueeЯevolutions (screening + discussion) in Birmingham
DESCRIPTION:During the LGBT History Month UK\, Berlin based Lebanese multidisciplinary performer and social artist Ahmad BaBa will present a plethora of his bodies of work in collaboration with SHOUT Festival and Midlands Arts Centre. His work focuses on claiming more visibility for underrepresented communities such as the LGBT+ refugee community in Berlin\, and creating dance/storytelling projects. \nQueeЯevolutions is a short film by Ahmad BaBa that rethinks queerness as a colonising tool\, shaped by its Western\, mainstream vision. Ahmad investigates often misinterpreted queer identities from the SWANA region (South-West Asia and North Africa)\, disrupting the notion of singular and one-dimensional queerness. It´s about questions like: When do we get a chance to investigate and express our queerness in our own way? How can we develop a language to speak about our complex identities? Why do we identify with a supposed „Pride“ that we haven’t achieved ourselves? These and other questions were raised by the participating artists\, who each seek in different ways within their practices to revolt against the normalising process of a one-dimensional „queerness“\, looking for ways to express\, explore\, and share unheard voices and unknown histories\, and who come together in struggle. \nThe project took place as a series of collective workshops „for us by us“ with a wide range of artists presenting themselves on their own terms. Able to represent themselves outside the white gaze\, the artists approached the experimental space of the project as a laboratory for sharing and reflecting on their experiences and ideas and as an occasion to develop collaborations with other QBIPOC individuals. \n \nQueeЯevolutions from Ahmad BaBa on Vimeo. \n→ The event is free of charge\, but registration is required. \nAbout Ahmad BaBa \nAhmad BaBa is a Lebanese visual and performance artist based in Berlin. His work is rooted in critical interdisciplinarity and anti-oppressive practices. With a performing arts background and currently working towards his MA in Dance and Movement Therapy\, Ahmad focuses on developing embodied arts and therapeutic processes. As conventional pedagogies around body work reproduce systemic oppression in institutions\, he works against viewing the effect of oppression as political mediums and complexities that fall outside of the “norm”. Ahmad's practice works to centralise lived experiences as the core element for collective transformations through approaches based on a " by us\, for us” framework\, the rewriting of bodies' stories through dance\, and redefining trauma-related oppression(s). Some of his previous projects and workshops include “Manuscripts of Foreign Body(s)”\, “Deconstructing Aesthetics of Embodiment” and “ QueeЯevolutions”. His visual performances approach identity from a critical and collective archivist perspective that revolve around understanding Queerness in relation to the multilayered Arab*Muslim identity(s). This has shown through in his work “ Ilk علق“\, which is an investigation into how queerness has become a form of colonialism\, erasing and homogenising many identities and ways of being that don’t necessarily fit under "Queer" as an umbrella term." \nInstagram // Facebook \nAbout Mansur Ajang \nMansur Ajang\, Ahmad's assistant director\, is a performer\, director and coach working with marginalised communities in Berlin. One focus of his work is theatre productions with long-term unemployed people that unleash the potential of people in social and economic circumstances through artistic creativity. He was trained at the Elisabethbühne of the Schauspielhaus in Salzburg. First engagements followed at the Theatre of the Young World in Leipzig\, Staatstheater Darmstadt and Ballhaus Ost Berlin. He is a member of the ensemble of the Magdeburg Theatre since 2022. Ilk is his second production with the performance artist Ahmad BaBa. \nFacebook \nAbout the residency \nAhmad BaBa is setting a ground for investigating identities on the level of bodies. The 10-day residency\, as part of SHOUT festival’s programme for LGBT History Month in collaboration with Midlands Arts Centre\, will combine the dual disciplines that Ahmad is engaged in: performing arts and dance therapy. His work focuses on claiming more visibility for underrepresented communities such as the LGBT+ refugee community in Berlin\, and creating dance/storytelling projects. \nAhmad BaBa’s residency with SHOUT Festival & Midlands Arts Centre (MAC) is part of the the ongoing research\, exhibition and performance project "Embodied Temporalities - tracing the memories our bodies hold" by Oyoun cultural centre (Berlin\, GER). \nWhat memories do our bodies hold? What can our bodies tell us about ourselves\, pasts\, and futures? Through Embodied Temporalities – Tracing the memories our bodies hold\, cultural practitioners explore identities\, belonging and embodied memories through diasporic\, decolonial and queer perspectives. It offers a community-centred approach for participants finding expression of experiences through movement while paving the way for collective healing. Embodied Temporalities is a research\, archiving\, exhibition and performance project under the artistic direction of Madhumita Nandi. \nArtistic-Director: Madhumita Nandi // Instagram \nThe touring of Embodied Temporalities is realised in partnership with SHOUT Festival\, Liv’in Festival\, Play Perform Learn Grow and Live Green. \n\nThis international collaboration is made possible by Perform Europe. Perform Europe is an EU-funded project aiming to rethink how performing arts works are presented across borders in a more inclusive\, sustainable and balanced way by testing new touring and distribution practices and providing policy recommendations for a future EU support scheme. This 18-month journey includes a research phase\, launching a digital platform\, testing a support scheme\, and designing policy recommendations. \n\nPerform Europe is funded by the Creative Europe Programme of the European Union and co-managed by a Consortium of 5 organisations: IETM – International network for contemporary performing arts\, the European Festivals Association (EFA)\, Circostrada\, EDN – European Dancehouse Network\, and IDEA Consult. \nMAC Birmingham: Website // Instagram \nSHOUT/Birmingham LGBT: Website // Instagram \n\nPerform Europe: Facebook // Instagram \n

SUMMARY:Fugitive Archives: Unerhört und Ungesehen
DESCRIPTION:  \nQuestioning Queer Archiving Practices \nInspired by the teachings of decolonial and queer-feminist knowledge and experiences\, we will organize a participatory workshop at Amerika-Gedenkbibliothek on Sunday\, February 27th to ask questions about alternative mediums and ontologies on queer archives that challenge dominant narratives of queer BiPOC histories. \n\nFollowing a theoretical discussion of queer and decolonial archiving by Ahmet Onat; Ilgaz Yalçınoğlu\, Merve Namlı\, and Selim Özadar will present findings from their researches that attempt to reveal the alternative narratives of the whitewashed queer nightlife history of Berlin. \n\nIn the second part of the workshop\, which will be facilitated by Bilge Emir\, the participants will look into critical strategies and queer BiPOC heritage to preserve their own histories. At the end we will discuss with the participants how public institutions\, such as libraries\, can be transformed into spaces that allow unlearning normative narratives. \n  \n  \n*** \nAhmet Onat is a sociocultural anthropology researcher born and living in Turkey. At the broadest level\, his works engaged debates around late liberal security discourses\, ephemeral archives\, refugeehood and politics of gender and sexuality in Turkey and Germany. After finishing his undergraduate degree in sociology at Koc University in Istanbul\, he followed graduate courses at Humboldt University and Free University of Berlin. As a Fulbright scholar\, he later studied at Columbia University in the Anthropology department and is currently working on his master’s thesis. \n\nBilge Emir\, typically working in illustration and video\, is a graduate of Visual Communication\, Weißensee KHB and has been based in Berlin since 2017. Her practice is shaped by combining her experiences in time and space-based media to establish multi-layered narratives of visual storytelling. Besides her solo work\, she values collective production and was part of the video collective artıkişler\, the student organization Interflugs and currently the media archiving collective bak.ma. \n\nIlgaz Yalçınoğlu is a music researcher born in Turkey who continues his research in Berlin. After completing his undergraduate education in musicology\, media studies and art history in Marburg\, he started his master's degree in musicology at Humboldt University of Berlin. His research deals with music cognition\, local music cultures\, history of popular music and sound politics. In addition to his academic research\, he organized various music events and continues his music journalism with his articles and radio programs. \n\nMerve Namlı is a Berlin-based queer-feminist journalist for the Henrich Böll Foundation\, Rosa Luxemburg Foundation\, taz blogs\, Missy Mag\, and for various international media. She works as a simultaneous interpreter for political and cultural institutions for 11 years. She curates concerts and multimedia festivals (Future East Festival\, Dümtek)\, and co-programs two monthly radio shows with and for the queer BiPOC Music Community (Cashmere Radio\, THF Radio). \n\nSelim Özadar is from Izmir and currently resides in Berlin. He works as a project manager at MitOst\, a civil society organization fostering cultural exchange across borders among Europe and neighboring regions. Since 2017\, he has co-organized several cultural projects in Germany including KuirFest Berlin and Dümtek. \n  \nFugitive Archives - unerhört und ungesehen ist ein Projekt von Oyoun im Rahmen der „Europe Challenge“\, gefördert von der Europe Culture Foundation und in Kooperation mit der Zentral- und Landesbibliothek Berlin (ZLB). \nLibraries are democratic places for the entire urban society. People come together here - for exchange\, for self-development\, for co-determination\, for participation and for learning. The ZLB also wants to make queer perspectives permanently visible. With events and projects\, it also offers a platform for the LGBTIQ+ community. \n*** \n◥ Please note: 2G Plus regulations apply to this event. FFP2 Masks are mandatory at Oyoun until further notice.
