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: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.

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: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: „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.

They meet each other in impenetrable silences and endless mourning. They curse the moon for witnessing their insomnias. Birha situates itself in a season of waiting\, climate of uncertainty: where only a loud screech can register distance between loved ones. \nBirha is the grief\, agony and anguish of separation\, derived from Punjabi Sufi Poetry. Guided by Shiv Kumar Batalvi's birha poetry\, the film captures the pain\, lamentation and yearning caused by separation. The film searches for missing people\, who left their homes to work in faraway cities\, and have still not returned. The locations are not marked\, characters are not named\, Birha situates itself in a season of waiting and a climate of uncertainty. \nEkta Mittal co-founded Maraa (maraa.in)\, a media and arts collective in Bangalore in 2008. She works there as a practitioner\, researcher\, curator and facilitator around issues of gender\, labour & caste in rural and urban contexts. She also works with creative practices in public space\, through independent production and collaborations with other artists. She has been making films around labour\, migration and cities since 2009. Her recent film Birha is about separation and longing in the context of migration. \nDirector: Ekta Mittal\nProduction: Ekta Mittal for Maraa\nCinematography: Paromita Dhar\, Amith Surendran\nEditing: Abhro Banerjee\nSound: Ekta Mittal\nSound Design: Bigyna Dahal \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: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.

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: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.

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. They meet each other in impenetrable silences and endless mourning. They curse the moon for witnessing their insomnias. Birha situates itself in a season of waiting\, climate of uncertainty: where only a loud screech can register distance between loved ones. \nBirha is the grief\, agony and anguish of separation\, derived from Punjabi Sufi Poetry. Guided by Shiv Kumar Batalvi's birha poetry\, the film captures the pain\, lamentation and yearning caused by separation. The film searches for missing people\, who left their homes to work in faraway cities\, and have still not returned. The locations are not marked\, characters are not named\, Birha situates itself in a season of waiting and a climate of uncertainty. \nEkta Mittal co-founded Maraa (maraa.in)\, a media and arts collective in Bangalore in 2008. She works there as a practitioner\, researcher\, curator and facilitator around issues of gender\, labour & caste in rural and urban contexts. She also works with creative practices in public space\, through independent production and collaborations with other artists. She has been making films around labour\, migration and cities since 2009. Her recent film Birha is about separation and longing in the context of migration. \nDirector: Ekta Mittal\nProduction: Ekta Mittal for Maraa\nCinematography: Paromita Dhar\, Amith Surendran\nEditing: Abhro Banerjee\nSound: Ekta Mittal\nSound Design: Bigyna Dahal \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: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

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:Taking Root in the Flesh - An Evening of Dialogical Exploration and Performance
DESCRIPTION:Part 1 : Dialogical Exploration\nA discussion with Thokozani Heidi Sincuba\, Jessica Korp\, and Gugulethu ' Dumama' Duma - interpreting the work of Zora Neale Hurston today\, from South African\, Ethiopian-German\, Moroccan and diasporic perspectives. \nThe first part of the evening will be a discursive exploration where we will listen and learn from one another’s diaspora and African based experiences\, interventions\, and disruptions. We will take a short excerpt from Zola Neale Hurston as our departure point to explore the following themes: choreographies and cartographies of belonging\, what taking root in the flesh means to us and how positionalities are informed by where we are at. \nThere is emancipating agency in self-description and naming\, but what and how are we invoking that in our practices? What are the characteristics of our position? What is our work/contribution disrupting within the dominant discourse?  \nJessica Korp will be moderating this panel discussion\, and she is interested in an interrogation of how bodies participate in gendered and radicalised structures of culture and politics\, negotiating the narrative boundaries of racial community and political ideologies. \n  \nPart 2 : Performing Artists\nFor the second part of the evening\, we will present two performances from Gugulethu ' Dumama' Duma and Pure. \nIn her performance\, Dumama will explore sonic archives\, live improvisational composition (working with voice\, glitch\, live loops)\, and digital video work. The performance will explore ritual\, day-to-day\, prismatic identity\, and the tensions present in preservation. The performance also aims to engage with the depth perception experience when working with sound\, working with tonal emergence and deay - honouring the bassline frequency of creation. \n“Time moves rapidly this year and it becomes more intricate and delicate to distinguish between distraction and inspiration. Thoughts float around the body with a vapid kind of intimacy. I wonder why the warm murmurs of strangers speaking unfamiliar languages makes me feel at home? I’m interested in how we express an embodied transience in a world where identity\, history and future can leave you feeling restricted by and in your flesh. I’m interested in moving out of those systemically imposed limitations.” - Dumama \nPure's performance will explore expression as an instrument through which the re-imagination or {un}making of self is accessible as a form of meditation and healing. \n"Existing as a queer person of colour within my own diasporic experiences has shaped my identity over time. Shifting and changing - a constant forward movement towards a purposeful and much more intentional future. Influenced by the weight of my past\, currently navigating through the complexities of my very existence and breathing deeply from the untold stories of my abundant future - there lies this unfathomable strength to dare aspire towards greatness outside of the confines or challenging circumstances of reality. Manifesting my own personal spiritual blueprint that not only liberates but offers profound ancestral healing as I walk this historically drenched territory. This/My embodied experience/identity is layered\, vast\, expansive\, unfolding\, seeking\, wealthy\, ubandent\, timeless\, gentle and free of violent oppression - a privilege historically denied to my people." - Pure \n  \n--- \nThis event will be streamed on Oyoun's Vimeo\, YouTube and Facebook channels. \n  \nBiographies\nGugulethu Duma\, also known as Dumama\, is an artist\, performer and sonic researcher born in South Africa. Their transdisciplinary practice involves consciously deconstructing and critiquing archaic modes of representation of Southern African/African sonic and performance culture. Ritualising modes of togetherness\, Dumama is concerned with the ways in which new forms can organically emerge when collaborations can center in intimacy and openness. Their interests intersect as practice based performance research\, and interdisciplinary\, collaborative bodies of work centered around political-poetic imaginations. dumamamusic.com \nJessica Korp studied Social & Cultural Studies at Goldsmiths College in London and wrote her bachelor thesis on collective melancholy and the empire. In 2019 she co-curated the permanent exhibition "Meshwork of Things - The Collection Showcase of the Humboldt University of Berlin" at the Tieranatomisches Theater\, where she worked as curatorial assistant until 2020. As part of her research residency at Tropez\, Jessica Korp did research on the experience of racism in the Humboldthain swimming pool. Currently she is actively engaged in the areas of anti-racist self-organisation\, empowerment and social engagement in cultural contexts. She is a student of European Ethnology at the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin and an active member of the Aktivistar Filmkollektiv\, organizer of Sonic In(ter)ventions. \nThokozani Heidi Sincuba is a South African artist and speculative thinker who embodies the erotic as power against violence\, toxicity and erasure. They studied at the University of Cape Town\, Artez Arnhem and hold an MFA from Goldsmiths University of London and are active in several exhibitions\, fairs and conferences yearly. They have exhibited in the Netherlands\, Germany\, the United Kingdom\, United States and South Africa. Their most recent solo exhibition was part of the National Arts Festival in Makhanda.

An evolving and ever-shifting entity\, cultivating her expansive creativity from unmasked shame and long endured implications of existing as a black queer artist. Her body of work forms part of a self-healing meditation\, a process that she describes as delicate and personal. "I'm here to reliving the black experience in honor of my lineage by using my art to dispute oppression and bring focus to black- {re}imagination"  \n  \nEMBODIED ARTS FESTIVAL\nCurators\, artists and cultural practitioners have been exploring identities\, belonging and embodied memories through diasporic\, decolonial and queer perspectives as part of Oyoun’s first curatorial focus: EMBODIED TEMPORALITIES.

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

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