plot bowl or how to make instant narratives workshop!
Plot bowl is a two days workshop in which we will examine the effect of instant planning a script. By allowing ourselves to be unexpected, we allow different ideas to pop up and make us create wild, exciting and thrilling radical materials.
Examining the instant is a political way to challenge the structure of capitalistic ways of preparation that don't necessarily allow revolutionary ways of thinking.
In the workshop, we will challenge ourselves through different exercises that involve fast script writing, instant set crew collaborations and the immediate creation of a performative idea.
Although the workshop deals with writing and performing, it doesn't require any special background knowledge for the participants.
Nattan (Igor) Dobkin (38), a trans person based both in Berlin and Tel aviv, is a performance artist, a teacher, and an adjunct professor in the department of gender studies at Ben Gurion University of the Negev, Be’er Sheva, for which he/they has been noted an outstanding lecturer. He/They teach a performance art course at the Pre-Academic Art School “The Garage” for students facing mental health challenges. Dobkin regularly facilitates an independent workshop in Tel Aviv that deals with the performer’s identity in gender and sexual contexts, and in the stage world. Dobkin holds a M.A in gender studies from Ben Gurion University of the Negev, Be’er Sheva, and a B.A in theater directing and pedagogy from Seminar Hakibutzim College, Tel Aviv.

Pfauenkreativurlaub - what does it mean?
Pfauenkreativurlaub is the name of a long weekend of queer crafting and conspiering at Raumerweiterungshalle. The Name Pfrauenkreativurlaub (literaly: Peacock creative vaccation) is a deriviation of the word Frauenkreativurlaub (literaly: women creative vaccation) which one of us stumbled across during research at an archive that collects documents of the women and lesbian movement in the GDR. The Frauenkreativurlaub used to be a bunch of lesbian women who went to the countyside to be creative, conspire and build community. It has been more than 30 years since the “creative women” excursion.
Political Systems have crumbled, new media emerged, social movements have fought for social change and are still doing so.
Weaving on to this, we ask the question: How can we pick up the threads of the past? Under what conditions can we come together today, exchange ideas, feel more secure and learn from one another? What knowledge do we want to keep? To playfully open the word, Pfauen is deduced of Frauen and invites all kind of queer identities to take part at this event.
Five artists bring a set of their crafty techniques to Raumerweiterungshalle and create the room for four different sessions of Airbrushing, sewing and embroidery, screenprinting and paper and textile marbling.
The Sessions will be taking place from Saturday till Sunday. You can join for just a couple of hours, a day or for the whole weekend. We don’t want to facilitate a one way learning experience but more of a fluid space where you can float in and out of techniques, share and combine them. We want to open a space in which “doing” is decoupled from “producing”. We want to turn away from results-oriented work. We want to pause and take a breather while realizing that it is easier to talk to each other when our hands are busy. The things that are created during the “Peacock Creative Vacation” tell of our time together, our exchange, our similarities and differences.
There will also be a cooking station where we can prepare lunch, snacks and dinner. Raumerweiterungshalle offers lemonade / softdrinks for a donation. Coffee, Tea and water are free. The Event will be sober till 7pm
*** auf deutsch ***
Pfauenkreativurlaub – was bedeutet das?
Pfauenkreativurlaub heißt ein langes Wochenende des queeren Bastelns und Konspirierens in der Raumerweiterungshalle. Der Name Pfrauenkreativurlaub ist eine Ableitung des Wortes Frauenkreativurlaub, auf das eine von uns bei der Recherche in einem Archiv gestoßen ist, das Dokumente der Frauen- und Lesbenbewegung in der DDR sammelt. Der Frauenkreativurlaub war früher ein Haufen lesbischer Frauen, die aufs Land gingen, um kreativ zu sein, sich zu verschwören und eine Gemeinschaft aufzubauen. Über 30 Jahre sind seit der Exkursion „kreative Frauen“ vergangen.
Politische Systeme sind zusammengebrochen, neue Medien entstanden, soziale Bewegungen haben für gesellschaftliche Veränderungen gekämpft und tun dies immer noch.
Daran anknüpfend stellen wir die Frage: Wie können wir die Fäden der Vergangenheit wieder aufnehmen? Unter welchen Bedingungen können wir heute zusammenkommen, uns austauschen, sicherer fühlen und voneinander lernen? Welches Wissen wollen wir bewahren? Um das Wort spielerisch zu öffnen, wird Pfauen von Frauen abgeleitet und lädt alle Arten von queeren Identitäten ein, an dieser Veranstaltung teilzunehmen.
Fünf Künstler*innen bringen eine Reihe ihrer handwerklichen Techniken in die Raumerweiterungshalle und schaffen den Raum für vier verschiedene Sessions mit Airbrush, Nähen und Sticken, Siebdruck und Papier- und Textilmarmorierung. Die Sitzungen finden von Samstag bis Sonntag statt. Sie können nur für ein paar Stunden, einen Tag oder das ganze Wochenende teilnehmen.
Wir möchten keine einseitige Lernerfahrung ermöglichen, sondern eher einen fließenden Raum, in dem Sie in Techniken ein- und aussteigen, sie teilen und kombinieren können. Wir wollen einen Raum eröffnen, in dem das „Machen“ vom „Produzieren“ entkoppelt wird. Wir wollen uns von ergebnisorientiertem Arbeiten abwenden. Wir wollen innehalten und verschnaufen, während wir erkennen, dass es einfacher ist, miteinander zu reden, wenn unsere Hände beschäftigt sind. Die Dinge, die während der „Peacock Creative Vacation“ entstehen, erzählen von unserer gemeinsamen Zeit, unserem Austausch, unseren Gemeinsamkeiten und Unterschieden.
Es wird auch eine Kochstation geben, an der wir Mittagessen, Snacks und Abendessen zubereiten können. In der Raumerweiterungshalle gibt Limonade / Softdrinks gegen Spende. Kaffee, Tee und Wasser sind kostenlos. Die Veranstaltung findet bis 19 Uhr nüchtern statt

THE PUBLISHING SHACK feat. TiTv / bureaucratic madness / the brick book / Club Splendida / Erika in Amerika / Desperate Living / the Halle Sauna
multi zine release + screening + sauna
During lockdown Halle got knocked up and hence gave birth to a monstrous child: The Publishing Shack, our new printed matter department.
Five zines * comics * posters have since come off the press in collaboration with printing wizards Ak Knol (printeretto) and Czentrifuga. Today we want to share and celebrate them with you.
Contributions by Betül Merve Tekoglu, Bilge Emir, Caio Soares, Cammack Lindsey, Claire Egan, Deniz Şimşek, Erfan Aboutalebi, Ernest Ah, Helena Sofía Ribas, Lee Stevens, Mouna Assali, Nilgün Yelpaze, Philipp Fröhlich, Rheremita Cera, Seb Ymai, T Blank, Tess Meyer, Teta Marie Carangi, Tonina Matamalas
And since it will be a burning hot August night in times of energy scarcity, what better time to introduce another recent offspring: the Halle Sauna! Years of sweat and tears until we see her come to life tonight. If you want to try, bring a towel and a negative Covid test. Sauna will take place in shifts for fixed groups, to minimise contacts.
8pm screening in presence of TiTv crew and Antonia Baehr:
TiTv_Debutit chaptiter (Rheremita Cera, T Blank, Teta Marie Carangi, Tonina Matamalas, 2022, 8 min)
Patitriarchy robots have a new dominatition plan. The new productit is set free. By a process of tastiting the living world for the firstit time Tit Prototype access memories and goes into an adventurous journey where tit gets to know other beings, makes friends and starts to question titself.
Erika in Amerika (Antonia Baehr, 2000, 10 min)
Erika in Amerika is the impossibility of explaining Antonia Baehr. The movie theatre becomes a classroom and we become Antonia Baehr’s students. It appears that she is teaching us about a renown Cow-Woman named Erika and the skills required for American Performance Art. But really we are pulled into a maze of interlocked identities within non-linear forms of narrative.
After all, everybody is Antonia Baehr. Everyone wants to drink the milk of her warm bosom.
Desperate Living (John Waters, 1977, 90 min)
Part of the “Trash Trilogy”, we honor the Publishing Shack’s patron saint Queen Carlotta and all people of Mortville with a bootleg copy of this great classic.

The Runaway sound archives: a workshop on the politics of sound archiving workshop
Register: thecarrierbags(at)protonmail.com
Despite the ongoing criticism of the archives as instruments for the consolidation of power, recently, there has been a proliferation of non-governmental archive projects from activist initiatives, such as refugee archives, diaspora archives, queer archives, etc., with the insight that alternative archives can challenge the hegemonic power relations. However, the question still arises to what extent these alternative archives differ from the hegemonic instances in the attempt to have their own knowledge production is recognized.
Where do the sound archives and the archives of sound cultures stand in these discussions around the archive? While common notions of the archive are visual and textual, the documentation of fleeting sonic moments has had material moments since the invention of audio recording technologies with material consequences of authorship for who can profit from it, as is the case with the commercial use of the ethnographic recordings of the indigionous music cultures. Also, the daily usage of Youtube and Spotify as large collections of music is a common phenomenon, which in turn allows for personal curations of sound and thus makes this practice of organizing sonic form very much a part of the physical infrastructures of our daily lives.
This workshop takes the particularities of autonomous sound archives as a starting point and asks about their political potential to destabilize power relations, dealing with projects that use decolonial and queer-femnist strategies and bring new archives into existence. After analyzing some examples, the participants will have a chance to engage with archival material from the history of queer party culture in Berlin and will be encouraged to develop creative ways to create alternative archives beyond the notions of preservation and representation.

DEUTSCH: „Kollektives Courage Theater: Workshop und Aufführung zur Neulesung von "Mutter Courage und ihre Kinder" aus queer-feministischer Perspektive"
Der Workshop ist kostenlos | Wichtig bei der Anmeldung ist, dass du voll engagiert bist und an allen Tagen teilnehmen kannst | Bitte beachte bei der Anmeldung, dass FLINTA/LGBTQ- und Bi*POC-Personen bei der Teilnahme bevorzugt werden.
Die Plätze sind auf 15 Teilnehmer*innen begrenzt, wenn du also Interesse haben solltest, schick uns gerne eine Mail mit deinem Namen und ein paar Zeilen über dich mit dem Betreff "Mutter Courage" an: thecarrierbags@protonmail.com
Beschreibung:
Wir laden dich herzlich ein, an unserem Workshop zu einer Neulesung und Performance von "Mutter Courage und ihre Kinder" teilzunehmen. Das Stück von Bertolt Brecht, das zur Warnung vor dem Krieg geschrieben wurde, zeigt die untrennbare Verbindung von Kapitalismus und Krieg auf, zwei Dinge, die ohne einander nicht existieren können. Durch die Augen der Protagonistin des Stücks, Mutter Courage, diskutieren wir die Rolle der "Mutter" aus einer queer-feministischen Perspektive und kritisieren die Auswirkungen des Krieges, wie die daraus resultierenden Profite, aus einer antimilitaristischen und antikapitalistischen Sicht.
Das Stück, welches im 17. Jahrhundert spielt, werden wir aus unserem Zeitgeschehen und unseren eigenen Erfahrungen heraus betrachten, um gemeinsam eine eigene Interpretation des Stücks zu erarbeiten. Während des gesamten Workshops werden wir von Peter Wittig von SiDat! Projekttheater Berlin, angeleitet werden und zusammen die Besonderheiten des brechtschen Theaters kennenlernen, wie z. B. das Lehrstück und den Gestus. Zusammen mit Misa Harz werden wir an materialistische feministische Theorie herantreten und erproben, wie wir diese in unsere abschließende Performance einbeziehen können. Der Workshop wird auf Deutsch abgehalten werden. Wir wollen ausdrücklich Nicht-Muttersprachler*innen dazu ermutigen teilzunehmen, sodass wir gemeinsam unsere politischen Standpunkte und unsere Sprache durch das Theater stärken und zum Abschluss eine Performance präsentieren können, die weitere Gespräche und Diskussionen nach sich zieht.
Für den ersten Teil des Workshops schicken wir dir vorab eine Auswahl an Auszügen aus „Mutter Courage und ihre Kinder“ zu, zusammen mit einer Schlüssel-/Definitionsliste, um denjenigen zu helfen, die keine Muttersprachler*innen sind. Es ist obligatorisch, dass die Teilnehmenden vor dem Workshop den zu behandelnden Stoff lesen, damit wir sofort mit der Diskussion starten können. Dies ist wichtig, damit alle gut vorbereitet sind für die gemeinsame Leseprobe, mit der wir am Freitag, den 24. Juni, beginnen werden. Wenn du noch mehr Stellen aus dem Stück lesen möchtest und/oder andere Abschnitte vorschlagen möchtest, ist das sehr willkommen!
Am Samstag und Sonntag werden wir die Auszüge diskutieren und unter der Leitung von Peter Wittig einige Übungen machen, so wie improvisieren. Das Ziel ist zum Ende des Wochenendes, die Planung für die Aufführung an dem darauffolgenden Wochenende weitestgehend abgeschlossen zu haben. Wir werden euch auch kleinere Hausaufgaben aufgeben, um euch bestmöglich auf die finalen Proben vorzubereiten.
Das zweite Wochenende besteht aus abschließenden Proben und der Aufführung, bei denen wir das Gelernte des vorangegangenen Wochenendes wiederholen und endet mit einer öffentlichen Aufführung und Diskussion am Sonntag.

ENGLISH: “Collective Courage Theater: workshop and performance on a new reading of "Mother Courage and her Children" from queer-feminist perspectives”
The workshop is free of charge. When registering, it is important that you are fully committed and can attend all days. When applying, please note that preference for participants is given to FLINTA/LGBTQ- und Bi*POC-Persons
Places are limited for only 15 participants, so if you are interested send an email with your name and few sentences about yourself- titled “Mutter Courage” to: thecarrierbags@protonmail.com
Description:
We invite you to join our workshop on a new reading and performance on "Mother Courage and Her Children". The play from Bertolt Brecht, written as a warning against war, draws conclusions of the unbreakable bond of capitalism and war, as two things that cannot exist without one another. Through the eyes of the protagonist of the play, Mother Courage, we discuss the role of “the mother” from queer-feminist perspectives along with critiques the existence of war and it’s consequential profit from anti-militarist and anti-capitalist mindsets. Originally based in the 17th century, we view the play from our own experiences to present and create collectively our own interpretation of the play. Throughout the workshop, with the guidance of Peter Wittig from SiDat! Project Theater, we will learn Brecht’s Epic Theater methods, such as ‚Lehrstück‘ and ‚Gestus’, together along with Misa Harz, who will be leading us through materialist feminist theory and how to apply it to our final performance. The workshop will be held in German, but we encourage especially non-native German speakers to join, along with native German speakers, so that we can strengthen together our political viewpoints and language through theater, presenting in the end together a performance to generate further conversations and discussions.
Part 1:
Friday 24. June: 17-20 Uhr
Saturday 25. June: 10-18
Sunday, 26. June 12-18
For the first part of the workshop, we will send you before hand a selection from 'Mutter Courage und Ihre Kinder', accompanied by a key/definition list to help those who are not native German speakers. It is obligatory for participants to read before the workshop, so that we are able to begin discussion straight away. This is important so that everyone is well prepared for the joint reading rehearsal, with which we will begin work on Friday, June 24th. If you would like to read more of the play, and would like to suggest other sections of the play, this is as well happily welcomed! During this weekend, we will hold discussions and exercises led by Peter Wittig, and by the end of the first weekend, we will have finalized our plannings for the performance, as well, using improvisation as our tool! Participants will also be given small homeworks to consider during the next week before meeting on the second weekend.
The second weekend consists of final dress rehearsals and performance, going over what we have learned the previous weekend, ending with a public performance discussion on Sunday.

3:30 – 5 pm some prompts on mutual appreciation
(limited number of participants)
We would like to take time to exchange in small groups on our role as art workers in the middle of the hype around care in the art field. How comes care and accessibility are buzz words in the art field but our working conditions have not improved? We still don’t find time to rest. We still lack moments to be fully there for each other.
We will reflect together what we lack and how we can share appreciation for each other’s efforts and commitment.
For the workshop-like part (15:30 – 17:00) we would like to ask you to register as we will need to limit the number of participants to 20. Please email us at feministische.recherchegruppe@gmail.com
If the weather is good we will be outside in Halle’s garden.
If the weather is wet and cold and we will be meeting inside, we will need to limit the number of guests inside to 20 persons. Please take/bring a test (same day) or a proof of vaccination (3G). Maybe take warm clothes and a hot water bottle. The Halle wont be heated.

the Mortville Public Library presents:
The Uncle Ray Collection
On this day we are blessed to share with you a beautiful selection of gay porn magazines from the 70s and onwards. The magazines were collected by Uncle Ray throughout his abundant and multifaceted life, and lent to MPL by his niece and friend, Dóri Ferenczy.
Uncle Ray, also known as Raymond Wolff, was born in New York to Jewish parents who had fled nazi Germany. He left the US to avoid being drafted to the Vietnam war in 1971, moved to Berlin and became an active organiser in the anti-war movement. He founded the Museumsverein Synagoge Staudernheim, whose mission it was to restore the synagogue in the small town Ray's family was from. Uncle Ray spent his life researching Jewish history, particularly the local history in Berlin and Neukölln, where he lived until his sudden passing this spring. He gave guided tours through the neighborhood and always had stories to tell. His sense of humor was unparalleled, and beside owning a golden award statue of his own penis, he was an unapologetic lover of men, and a hoarder, so thank you Ray for never throwing anything away, and allowing us to browse in these rarities decades later!
Come join us in the Halle garden to honor the fruity part of this very special man's legacy. As usual there will be tea and cake, and for this special occasion some sparkling wine and sleazy tunes by Intergalactic Secret Agent. The regular library is also open.

The Ashes Remains Warm
Film Screening with Mónica Martins Nunes
Every morning when I go out of the door, he is the first one I see.
He is the first to tell me good morning.
He is a father. Although he is destroying us, he does not kill us.
The villages of "Chã das Caldeiras" lie inside the caldera of the volcano "Pico do Fogo" in Cape
Verde.
After losing everything they own on the last eruption, its inhabitants are forced to rethink their
lives.
A dedication, a subjective visual tale on loss, a symbiotic relationship and the possibility of the
eternal return.
Mónica Martins Nunes (1990, Lisbon) is a portuguese visual artist currently living in Berlin. Having
started her artistic work in ceramics and after studying Sculpture in Faculdade de Belas-Artes - Lisbon
University, she graduated in Fine Arts from the Universität der Künste Berlin.

Dear collectors of everyday things,
dear hoarders, dear doubters, dear losers, dear those who talk before they think, dear quiet ones and chatty
ones, and all inbetweens, dear single sock scholars, typewriters, dictators (not the autocratic kind), dear
browsers, rousers and chin scratchers.
We’re happy to invite you back to our beloved Halle garden for some workshops and
presentations, in which we plan to explore the telling of stories:
👛📚👜 CARRIER BAGS OF FRICTION 👜☂️👛
An important inspiration is Ursula K. Le Guin’s “Carrier
Bag Theory of Fiction”, in which she does away with the conflict-based hero story. Instead she
proposes: Lest there be no more telling of stories at all, some of us out here in the wild oats, amid the alien
corn, think we’d better start telling another one, which maybe people can go on with when the old
one’s finished. Maybe. The trouble is, we’ve all let ourselves become part of the killer
story, and so we may get finished along with it. Hence it is with a certain feeling of urgency that I seek
the nature, subject, words of the other story, the untold one, the life story.
She suggests to think of storytelling as a bag, a container, that can hold things you collect
over time, so you can take them home, or elsewhere, and share them, and that thinking of it this way will
change the story. After all, it’s clear that the Hero does not look well in this bag. He needs a
stage or a pedestal or a pinnacle. You put him in a bag and he looks like a rabbit, like a potato.
It’s been a tough year and a half, and more than ever a somewhat existential uncertainty
and dread have taken hold. As an alternative to the monolithic hero story type conflict, we propose the
physical phenomenon of friction as a method for processing all this. Friction is an essential part of
resistance and opposition. It’s also a very everyday thing, stuff rubbing up against other stuff
inside the bag, it occurs with all touch, all contact, and aren’t these things we need in tough times?
Can we find moments of connection, support, even solidarity here? In physics, friction is “the force
resisting the relative motion of solid surfaces, fluid layers, and material elements sliding against each
other” (wikipedia). There are several types of friction, the main ones being: dry friction, fluid
friction, lubricated friction, skin friction, and internal friction. Well, if this list doesn’t add
complexity to the imagination, what will?
Let’s fill our bags with instances of friction, let’s fill the Halle garden with (a
limited number of) people, pens and paper. We’re looking forward to sharing time, thoughts, and ideas
together.

We’re very excited to announce
the first workshop of the 👛👜 CARRIER BAGS OF FRICTION 👜👛 series:
Writers Workshop with Alex Alvina Chamberland
Join author Alex Alvina Chamberland for a writers workshop that explores various themes such as
reading as a writer, writing with ones entire body, connecting fully to nature and landscapes and cities and
rooms and the spaces within, routines, and broken routines, form, and broken forms, fragmentary narratives,
and non-narratives, discipline and freedom, and discipline in order to run free, insecurities, and hubris,
writing politically, and writing with such disregard to politics that the work becomes audaciously political
and/or perhaps even beyond political. This workshop will include close readings of multiple texts that have
been especially inspirational to Alex Alvina's writing, while participants are welcome to bring texts that
have inspired them, as well as discussions on literature and writing processes, and content, and form, and
style, and voice, and originality, and hype. The workshop will also include a specific writing assignment,
that we will discuss within the group. Welcome <3

Pfauenkreativurlaub - what does it mean?
Pfauenkreativurlaub is the name of a long weekend of queer crafting and
conspiering at Raumerweiterungshalle. The Name Pfrauenkreativurlaub (literaly: Peacock creative vaccation)
is a deriviation of the word Frauenkreativurlaub (literaly: women creative vaccation) which one of us
stumbled across during research at an archive that collects documents of the women and lesbian movement in
the GDR. The Frauenkreativurlaub used to be a bunch of lesbian women who went to the countyside to be
creative, conspire and build community. It has been more than 30 years since the “creative
women” excursion.
Political
Systems have crumbled, new media emerged, social movements have fought for social change and are still doing
so.
Weaving on to this, we ask the question: How can we pick up the threads of the past? Under what conditions
can we come together today, exchange ideas, feel more secure and learn from one another? What knowledge do
we want to keep? To playfully open the word, Pfauen is deduced of Frauen and invites all kind of queer
identities to take part at this event.
Pfauenkreativurlaub - What is this about?
Four artists and one writer will bring a set of their crafty techniques
to Raumerweiterungshalle and create the room for five different sessions of silk painting, sewing and
embroidery, screenprinting, paper and textile marbling and Bookbinding. The Sessions will be taking place
from Thursday till Sunday. You can join for just a couple of hours, a day or for the whole weekend. Please
note that you have to register previous to the event via email. We have a capacity of 15 Guests a day. We
don’t want to facilitate a one way learning experience but more of a fluid space where you can float
in and out of techniques, share and combine them. We want to open a space in which “doing” is
decoupled from “producing”. We want to turn away from results-oriented work. We want to pause
and take a breather while realizing that it is easier to talk to each other when our hands are busy. The
things that are created during the “Peacock Creative Vacation” tell of our time together, our
exchange, our similarities and differences. There will also be a cooking station where we can prepare lunch,
snacks and dinner. Raumerweiterungshalle has a bar where you can get lemonade and alcoholic drinks for a
donation. Coffee, Tea and water are free. The Event will be sober till 7pm
Infos zur Barrierearmut: Die Raumerweiterungshalle verfügt über eine
Rampe und eine barrierefreie Komposttoilette. Es stehen breite und stabile Sitzgelegenheiten ohne Armlehnen
zur Verfügung. Ihr werdet laute elektronische Musik aus dem Club nebenan hören. An der Bar stellen wir
Ohrstöpsel zur Verfügung. Bitte bringt einen Impfausweis oder ein negatives Testergebnis mit.
Pfauenkreativurlaub – was bedeutet das?
Pfauenkreativurlaub ist ein langes, queeres Wochenende das zum
gemeinsamen basteln und zu konspirieren in der Raumerweiterungshalle einlädt. Der Name Pfrauenkreativurlaub
ist eine Ableitung des Wortes Frauenkreativurlaub, auf das wir bei einer Recherchen in einem Archiv gestoßen
sind, das Dokumente der Frauen- und Lesbenbewegung in der DDR sammelt. Unter dem namen Frauenkreativurlaub
reiste eine Gruppe lesbischer Frauen aufs Land, um kreativ zu sein, sich zu verbünden und Gemeinschaft zu
leben. Seit dem Ausflug der “kreativen Frauen” sind mehr als 30 Jahre vergangen.
Politische Systeme sind zerfallen, neue Medien entstanden, Soziale Bewegungen haben gesellschaftliche
Veränderungen erkämpft, und tun dies noch.
Daran anknüpfend stellen wir mit dem “Pfauenkreativurlaub” die Frage: Wie können wir die Fäden
der Vergangenheit aufnehmen und an sie anknüpfen? Unter welchen Be- dingungen können wir heute
zusammenkommen, uns austauschen, sicherer fühlen und voneinander lernen? Welches Wissen wollen wir bewahren?
Um das Wort spielerisch zu öffnen, leitet sich Pfauen von Frauen ab und lädt allen möglichen queeren
Identitäten ein an der Veranstaltung teilzunehmen.
Pfauenkreativurlaub – worum gehts’?
Vier Künstler:innen und eine Schriftstellerin bringen eine Reihe ihrer
Techniken in die Raumerweiterungshalle und gestalten einen Raum in dem fünf verschiedene Sessions
stattfinden werden.
Seidenmalerei, Nähen und Sticken, Siebdruck, Papier- und Textil
Marmorierung und Buchbinderei. Die Sessions finden von Donnerstag bis Sonntag statt. Ihr könnt nur für ein
paar Stunden, einen Tag oder das ganze Wochenende teilnehmen. Bitte beachtet dass ihr euch vor der
Veranstaltung per E-Mail anmelden müsst. Wir haben eine Kapazität von 15 Gästen pro Tag.
Wir möchten keine einseitige Lernerfahrung reproduzieren, sondern eher
einen fließenden Raum schaffen, in dem wir in die unterschiedlichen Techniken hinein und und hinaus fließen
können, der uns zum teilen und kombinieren anregt. Wir wollen einen Raum öffnen, in dem „Tun“
vom „Produzieren“ voneinander entkoppelt wird. Wir wollen uns von ergebnisorientiertem Arbeiten
abwenden. Wir möchten innehalten und eine Verschnaufpause einlegen und erkennen, dass es einfacher ist,
miteinander zu sprechen, wenn unsere Hände beschäftigt sind.Die Dinge, die während des Pfauenkreativurlaub
entstehen, erzählen von unserer miteinander verbrachten Zeit, unserem Austausch, unseren Gemeinsamkeiten und
Unterschieden.
Es wird auch eine Kochstation geben, an der wir Mittagessen, Snacks und
Abendessen zubereiten können. Die Raumerweiterungshalle verfügt über eine Bar, an der ihr Limonade und
alkoholische Getränke kaufen könnt. Tee, Kaffee und Wasser sind kostenlos. Wir bitten euch täglich bis 19
Uhr auf Alkohol und andere Rauschmittel zu verzichten.
after a rollercoaster of a season behind closed doors, the Halle comes out of
its Covid-and-Deutsche-Bahn imposed lockdown shortly before the cold
season with a truly filthy new space for you.
We are excited to announce the opening of the Mortville Public Library, the
filthiest library alive.
A million open tabs wanting to be read, an avalanche of messages and
notifications make it difficult to focus or process everything, and this
overwhelming status quo of the information age is intensified by too much
time spent in isolation because of depression, pandemic, social anxiety, and
other difficult stuff. Would it help to committ to a book at a time? What if
there is no money to buy one, or it’s too difficult to choose?
The Halle crew has decided to pool some favorite books from our personal
collections and make them available to you. We will be around for a chat,
have some tea and cake to share (bring your own mug if you can), you can
browse, hang out in the garden, discuss what you’ve read or ideas it has set
alight. The book selection aims to be small enough and fine enough to aid in
our ongoing goal of educating ourselves and connecting struggles, towards a
revolutionary future. Most books will be in English, but we also have some
German and Portuguese ones, as well as a Zine Präsenzbibliothek.
In a bi-weekly rhythm the Mortville Public Library will open her doors and
welcome you to borrow one book at a time. Keep in mind, this library is built
on trust, these are our personal books, not a rich institution’s purchases.
Please bring them back the next time we are open (usually this will be every
other Sunday afternoon), and don’t become Asshole of the Week.
If you thought in the past it was difficult to find the Halle, fasten your seatbelt
now. One of Mortville’s librarians will inconspicuously await you at the
garden gate of about_blank (to the right of their usual entrance door, at the
end of the fence), and send you on the back way to where you want to go.
Mortville is a fictional shantytown for all kinds of social outcasts, where you
typically find refuge when you killed your husband, want a sex change, like
to go naked, indulge in anarchy, eat turds, and other disgusting things. After
a long period under the cruel rule of sadistic Queen Carlotta, the inhabitants
of Mortville got together, defied her leather police, roasted her on a spit and
ate her. The library is situated in a liberated Mortville where noone will force
you to walk backwards all day, or try to infect you with rabies.
Mortville Public Library can be visited outdoors. We will keep your contact
details according to Covid regulations, and ensure that there is enough
space for everyone to keep the needed physical distance. Bring your favorite
mask :)
the opening of the library on September 10 2020 was part of the Liebig34 action week, to
defend the house project and others, that are threatened by eviction.

13:12 – 4.20 pm
Unfortunately we can not use our barrierfree
front entrance because of Deutsche bahn building works and have to use the back entrance which has two
improvised steps.
2020
COVID-19 & Renovations
The forced downtime due to COVID-19 has allowed us to reflect, renovate, repair,
care for, & grow🌱🌿🌴 (ourselves and the garden!) through these turbulent times and attend to the
things that have taken a back seat during the busy years.
In addition to this, we've been surrounded by unexpected major renovations going
on outside Halle and blocking our usual access, complicating a complicated situation further. When one of
your neighbors is a big business that owns whole actual streets and gives zero fucks... Shout out to
Deutsche Bahn for making this possible 😅😤
It is also a time of introspection for us in different ways - one of them being how to make the best
use of the space. Due to the ongoing event restrictions, Halle is unfortunately unable to host any external
event for the time being.
However, we’ve decided to re-center the original concept of our other name:
Selbstuniversität e.V. (Self-University e.V.). Our general plan is to prioritise smaller autonomous
learning-based formats within the Halle community, into the future. 🤓
Halle appreciates all your ongoing support and wishes our vibrant community all the
best! Big love to u and your loved ones from your favourite local sardine tin 🐟😋❤️

Finanzcoop oder Revolution in Zeitlupe? Lesung und Gespräch
@ Aquarium, Skalitzer Str. 6, 10999 Berlin
***** english below *****
Das Buch stellt eine Gruppe von Menschen vor, die etwas anders machen als der Rest der Gesellschaft: Sie teilen ihr Geld, obwohl sie weder in derselben Stadt leben, noch durch familiäre Bande zusammengehalten werden. Mehrmals im Jahr kommen sie zusammen und regeln ihr finanzielles Auskommen der nächsten Monate. Dieses Modell heißt Finanzcoop.
Das gemeinsame Bankkonto, hervorgegangen aus dem Experiment einer WG im Jahr 1998, ist für die mittlerweile sieben Mitglieder zum Alltag geworden. Ihr regelmäßiger Austausch über Geld, materielle Werte und vor allem die eigenen Bedürfnisse hat sie zu Expert_innen gemacht. Dafür, was Geld in unserer Gesellschaft bedeutet, was es leistet, aber auch verunmöglicht. Und dafür, welche unentdeckten Freiräume eine andere Art von Ökonomie schaffen kann. In dieser Zwischenbilanz zu ihrem auf Lebenszeit angelegten Modell geben sie Einblicke, was ihre Neuerfindung einer Solidargemeinschaft, die quer zu Familie und Staat steht, bedeutet: für Partner_innen, Eltern und Kinder, für ihre Einstellung zu Erwerbsarbeit und unbezahlten Tätigkeiten, Nachwuchsplanung, Alterssicherung.
In ihren Berichten und Reflexionen machen die Mitglieder des FC-Kollektivs deutlich, dass diese Neuordnung der eigenen Verhältnisse gar nicht so radikal ist.
Durch den Abend führt Juliane Karakayali.
Finanzcoop oder Revolution in Zeitlupe,
FC- Kollektiv, Paula Bulling, Bini Adamczak, Büchner Verlag 2019
***** english *****
finance coop or revolution in slow motion?
reading and conversation
The book introduces a group of people who do something differently from the rest of society: they share their money, although they do not live in the same city, nor are related by blood. Several times a year they gather to manage their livelihood for the next couple of months. This model is called finance coop.
The joint bank account started as experiment in a flat share in 1998. Today it has become an everyday occurence for the now seven members. Their regular exchange about money, material goods and especially their individual needs has made them experts. For what money means in our society, for what it does, but also for what it prevents. And for which unexpected spaces of possibility another kind of economy can create. In this interim balance of their lifetime project they give insights into what their re-invention of a community in solidarity means, that is at odds with family and state: for partners, parents and children, for their attitude towards employmet and unpaid labour, procreation, provision for old age.
In their reports and reflections the members of the FC-collective make it clear, that this reshuffling of one’s own relations are not all that radical.
Juliane Karakayali moderates the evening.

Raumerweiterungshalle is very happy to have received the Project Space Award from Berlin Senat this year, which enables her to continue paying rent and other essentials for a while. On this occasion we open our doors for old and new friends.
Without countless people volunteering their time and energy to keep the infrastructure going Raumerweiterungshalle would not exist. Maintenance work in diy spaces is super important and we want to celebrate it today. By doing a little more of it together :)
We invite you to an afternoon of reproductive labour.
Come join us make a tool-wall, block up some holes in the sauna, plan an equipment storage cage or - if you want to be ambitious - help us fix the broken shutters.
Drinks and snacks will be provided xx

FORT AUS DER ISOLATION! Was heißt es, wenn sieben als "lebensunwert" ermordete Frauencharaktere auf der Bühne ihre Stimme erheben?
Szenische Lesung und Gespräch mit Tine Rahel Völcker, Cora Schmechel, Andreas Hechler und Mix
In den Jahren 1940 und 41 wurden in der nationalsozialistischen Tötungsanstalt Pirna Sonnenstein, einer ehemaligen Psychiatrie, etwa 15.000 Menschen mit psychischen Krisen, von der Norm abweichendem Verhalten, mit körperlichen oder kognitiven Einschränkungen ermordet.
Im Herbst/Winter 2019 bringt Tine Rahel Völcker zusammen mit einem Team aus Frauen* und Queers ihr Theaterstück "Frauen der Unterwelt. Sieben hysterische Akte" auf die Bühne. Es werden die Biografien von sieben Frauen und Mädchen erzählt, die in geschlechtsspezifische Konflikte und Krisen gerieten, in die Psychiatrie kamen und im Rahmen des nationalsozialistischen "Euthanasie"-Programms von Ärzt*innen und Pflegepersonal getötet wurden.
Warum finden sich unter den Opfern der Tötungsanstalt Pirna-Sonnenstein so viele Frauen mittleren Alters, die Anfang oder Mitte der 1930er Jahre in eine geschlossene Psychiatrie kamen?
In welcher geschlechtsspezifischen Form der Isolation befanden sich die im Stück dargestellten Frauen?
Warum wurde über die Ermordeten der NS-"Euthanasie" so lange geschwiegen?
Kommt mit der AfD ein neues rassehygienisches Denken auf uns zu - oder war es nie weg?
Und was kann eine queerfeministische Praxis zur Bewältigung von Krisen, die durch Stigmatisierung oder Rollenzuschreibungen entstanden sind, heute beitragen?
Nach einer kurzen Lesung mit Auszügen aus dem Stück werden uns diese und weitere Fragen beschäftigen. Tine Rahel Völcker (Autorin und Regisseurin des Stücks) diskutiert mit Cora Schmechel (Soziologin, Mit-Herausgeberin von "GegenDiagnose. Beiträge zur radikalen Kritik an Psychiatrie und Psychologie" ), Andreas Hechler (Urenkel eines Opfers der NS-"Euthanasie", hat verschiedentlich zu seiner Familiengeschichte publiziert und Vorträge gehalten) und Mix (macht seit über drei Jahren radikale Therapie, reflektiert RT und FORT im Starter*innen-Kollektiv).
Tine mit Lissa Flade, Tochter eines "Euthanasie"-Opfers in der Gedenkstätte Pirna-Sonnenstein
Die Veranstaltung bildet zugleich den Auftakt einer Crowdfunding-Kampagne, die dem Theaterprojekt die noch fehlenden Finanzmittel beschaffen soll. Denn auch bei dem Theaterprojekt geht es um die Überwindung von Isolation und zwar durch Öffentlichkeit und durch eine große Gruppe von Frauen* und Queers, die auf der Bühne gemeinsam alle sieben Geschichten erzählen. Alle Beteiligten sollen für ihre Arbeit anständige Gagen erhalten und die Geschichten der sieben Frauen und Mädchen sollen einen respektvollen künstlerischen Rahmen erhalten, wozu ein professionelles Bühnenbild gehört. Die Erlöse aus der Crowdfunding-Kampagne kommen diesen beiden Bereichen zu.
"Frauen der Unterwelt. Sieben hysterische Akte" von Tine Rahel Völcker in Kooperation mit dem Ballhaus Ost. Es spielen mit: Vernesa Berbo, Philipp Engelhardt, Olga Feger, Lara Anais Martinez-Wiesselmann, Nora Quest und Tucké Royale. Bühne und Kostüme: Jessica Rockstroh. Musik: Simon Bauer. Licht: Johanna Seitz. Regie: Tine Rahel Völcker.
Das Projekt wird unterstützt von der Einzelprojektförderung des Berliner Senats, der Heinz und Heide Dürr Stiftung, der Rudolf Augstein Stiftung und dem Kulturamt Pankow.

Uter Project is a huge collaborative drawing about sexual and reproductive freedom.
The project started on january 2014 in the midst of a big debate in Spain regarding the spanish goverment’s attempt to penalize abortion.
The image communicates people's stories about sexual and reproductive health, history related to abortion, maternity and community building, queernes. A cry for freedom to decide about our own bodies.
For five years we widely presented the project abroad. The documentary growed and transformed on each presentation/conversation we have had, and now we would like to share it with you, tell some of the stories learned during the five years, discuss and talk together on the topics mentioned above.
doors at 19h, storytelling at 20h

Orchestitsra Atetelie Workshop Experiment
ORCHESTITSTRA 🍈🍈 Atelier for women, trans and non-binary people, with tits of all ages, qualities and personalities.
ORCHESTITSTRA 🌶🌶 is a series of experiments of composition and sound improvisations with theremin, from titechnical developed by Marie Carangi in the performance Lyrical Theta.
In this performance, the sound comes from the frictional relationship between the body and the theremin's sensitive sound field. The "singing" is uttered by the movement of the tits that penetrate the electromagnetic field generated by the instrument in the space from an antenna, in which the musical notes are distributed. This field reacts to vibrations and body movements.
In the ORCHESTITSTRA 🏀🏀 we will use a pantyhose in which we will make two holes through which the tits jump, projecting forward and outward.
Let's shake tits together!
///PORTUGUESE///
ORCHESTITSTRA Atetelier para mulheres, pessoas trans e não-binárias, com tetas de todas as idades, qualidades e personalidades.
ORCHESTITSTRA é uma série de experimentos de composição e improvisação sonora coletetiva com theremin, a partir de tetécnicas desenvolvidas por Marie Carangi na performance Teta Lírica.
Nesta performance, o som vem da relação friccional entre o corpo e o campo sonoro sensível do theremin. O "canto" é pronunciado pelo movimento das tetas que penetram o campo eletromagnético gerado pelo instrumento no espaço a partir de uma antena, na qual as notas musicais são distribuídas. Este campo reage às vibrações e movimentos corporais.
Na ORCHESTITSTRA usaremos uma meia-calça na qual faremos dois furos através dos quais as tetas saltam, projetando-se para frente e para fora.

MINI Fuzarka!
Fuzarka Festival - Latinamerica in focus
We are a group of people from different parts of "Latinamérica", some of us are living in Berlin, and some are spread around the world. We got together because we wanted to organize a festival that would visibilize different forms of expression, allow us to meet each other, show each other, think and rethink certain things about the posicion we are in. We want to share what we do and take advantage of what ever arises from those intentions.
Most of all we want to meet up, exchange ideas, knowledge, empowerment, discussions and party.
This DIY-festival will take place on the first weekend of August in Raumerweiterungsalle , Berlin.
The program consists of workshops, performances, exibitions, debates, zines/publications, food and…. party!
For all the activities you can contribute by donation with what you can. And if you don't have money you are welcome.

Warum wir so gefährlich waren. Geschichten eines inoffiziellen Gedenkens filmscreening mit Bettina Dziggel und Marinka Körzendörfer
Im Dokumentarfilm „Warum wir so gefährlich waren. Geschichten eines inoffiziellen Gedenkens“ erzählen vier Frauen von den zahlreichen Versuchen der Ostberliner Gruppe Lesben in der Kirche (LiK), von 1984-1986 an den Gedenkveranstaltungen im ehemaligen Frauenkonzentrationslager in Ravensbrück teilzunehmen. Die Lesbengruppe widmete sich u.a. in den 1980er Jahren dem Anliegen, das Schicksal von im NS verfolgten lesbischen Frauen sichtbar zu machen und ihnen öffentlich zu gedenken. Der DDR-Staat reagierte mit Repression.

Switch Vinyl DJ Bootcamp with Killa & The Neighborhood Character
Vinyl (Analog): A 3-day in depth workshop for novice and intermediate participants.
Day 1 will consist of a brief technical overview, an introduction to mixing fundamentals: turntable setup, selection, cueing, listening etc.
Day 2 will be a continuation of day 1, and focus on participants developing knowledge and ability to listen selectively, beatmatch, work with pitch, and EQing tracks.
On Day 3, participants will pair up as DJ duos to perform their skills in a live showcase and have the option to record a short mixtape together or individually, that will be shared through the SWITCH Mixcloud page, and amongst other friends and participants. Each day we will open the space for practice time outside of the hours of instruction.
facilitators: KILLA and The Neighbourhood Character; for 8 participants
**Please note that each workshop has a limited number of available places. We’ll have a waiting list if necessary, and ask you to please only sign up if you can really commit or let us know ahead of time if you need to drop out, so we can pass on your spot to someone else**
To sign up, send an email with a few lines about yourself to - switchworkshops@gmail.com - you will then receive a detailed schedule and further instructions.
SWITCH is a workshop series that aims to centralize (not exclusively) and empower women, people of color, gender non-conforming folks and queers through accessible music education.
Through these workshops, we hope to establish a culture of engaging participatory and multivocal approaches to sharing and spreading knowledg(es) of electronic music and electronic sound art and performance within a DIY setting, thus encouraging self-empowerment among DIY, up-and-coming, and semi-professional emerging artists.
With time and resources, we see these efforts bridging analog and digital music performance cultures, providing knowledges of both forms and their potential overlaps.

Switch Noisemakers Camp - From Circuits to Coding
A 4-day in depth workshop, with Rehab Hazgui, Ayoka Green, 6zm and T Blank that will cover both analogue and digital technologies in sound synthesis and manipulation.
Day 1 - Azki Punk Console: The first day will be based on an experimental acoustic approach, where participants will be guided through the design and production of a DIY voltage-controlled oscillator. During this day, participants will be asked to build their own electronic instruments, experiment with analog control interfaces, play together and take their own console with them. Participants will familiarize themselves with basic electronic tools, soldering irons and multimeters.
Day 2 - Sound of Light: With the new gained skills about electronics we will create different light sensitive electronic instruments on a more experimental level on the second day. Participants will learn to build and modify circuits of light controlled oscillators and experiment with solar panels as musical instruments.
Day 3 - Human-Interface Devices as Controllers: The third day aims at bringing a foundation-al insight about audio programming and using non-musical controllers (joysticks, sensors) to control/generate audible features. We will practice programming basic sound-synthesis methods and building custom audio/midi effects on Ableton Live using Max4Live. Participants will be then invited to create a collaborative orchestra by incorporating their Azki Punk Console with HID controllers.
Day 4 - Noisemakers Jam: On the last day of the Noisemakers Camp, we are aiming to combine the analog instruments and digital patches the participants have built on the previous three days. The result will be a collaborative, spatial and interactive sound installation, which will later be showcased publicly on the 27th of July.
For 8 participants. Participation in the workshop is free, although pay-as-you-can / donations are encouraged for material costs for day 1 & 2 as our funding does not cover this.
**Please note that each workshop has a limited number of available places. We’ll have a waiting list if necessary, prioritize those that are new to Switch and ask you to please only sign up if you can really commit or let us know ahead of time if you need to drop out, so we can pass on your spot to someone else**

das burlebübele mag i net - bewegte lesben in ost und west berlin filmscreening mit Sandra Luka Stoll und Anke Schwarz
Anhand zweier Biografien nähert sich die Doku sowohl den Parallelen als auch den Besonderheiten des alltäglichen Lebens und einer politischen Organisierung von zwei Lesben im geteilten Berlin der 70er und 80er Jahre. Nur wenige Kilometer voneinander entfernt kämpften Cristina Perincioli
und Ursula Sillge zur gleichen Zeit als frühe Aktivistinnen für die Rechte von Lesben und Schwulen. Die eine in Westberlin, die andere in Ostberlin. So ähnlich die Ziele der beiden Protagonistinnen auch waren, so unterschiedlich war die jeweilige politische Situation.
Ein Film von Sandra Luka Stoll und Anke Schwarz, Berlin 2008, Länge: 43min
LIVE:
ILLAY - Oriental indie pop (Tel Aviv) Chernobyl - Brazilian funk, vogue, house (São Paulo)
DJs:
Eric Oliveira & Slim Soledad - Chernobyl b2b DJ-set

¡MASH-UP! Multigender / Multiworld is really glad to welcome you again to its summer season in RaumErweiterungsHalle. Israeli queer singer and cellist ILLAY and her band will be playing live some Middle-Eastern up-tempo songs from her album Sabotage. Along with it, there will be a live-act/DJ-set showcase with Brazilian queer-political collective Chernobyl (friends with queer hurricane Linn da Quebrada), bringing some radioactive funk, vogue and house to the dancefloor.
Vive la différence! We are a bunch of people of different nationalities, colours, creeds and backgrounds. We live and love life, diversity, intersections and multiple identities, walking through different spheres at the same time. ¡MASH-UP! – Multigender / Multiworld is a platform to get together, exchange ideas, feel good, have fun and empower transtropical, postcolonial and nonconformist queers and their friends. We dream of a world without borders.
**********
ILLAY
ILLAY comes from Israel, lives in Berlin, and finds inspiration wherever joy encounters melancholy. Cellist and singer ILLAY’s haunting lyrics and unusual compositions create music that invite you to dance as much as to contemplate.
ILLAY’s multi-cultural upbringing, energetic personality and innovative style has led to her recently supporting German singer- songwriter Astrid North, forming and touring with the electroacoustic trio MOJOY, and composing music for dance performances and film soundtracks, including the award-winning Israeli documentary Winding.
ILLAY’s album Sabotage (Oriental indie pop) was released in October 2018. Created in the heart of Tel Aviv, the album includes ILLAY's inner circle of professional musicians who all joined forces to produce the album in a makeshift studio within only a month's time. The result is an engaging mix of melodies sung in English, Hebrew and French, and shaped by Eastern and Western influences that include classical, contemporary, and electronic music. It is full of ethereal and soulful lyrics set to rhythms that embrace pop music, Middle-Eastern disco, West African beats, and much more. All this leads to a creative debut that strikes an interesting balance that is both delicate and powerful, much like the performer herself.
“In [Illay’s] complex compositions and forthright lyrics, she unfolds a parallel world in which one can laugh without forgetting to weep and vice versa.”
TAZ Magazine, Germany
“Her music, at times, borders on the avant garde, making it startling and full of surprises.”
- Marvin Glenn, Ezra magazine
Chernobyl is meeting.
Chernobyl is party.
Chernobyl is power.
Chernobyl is resistance.
Chernobyl is network building.
Chernobyl is the resignification of our catastrophes.
Chernobyl is also radiation.
They are the radioactive elements of contamination of the imposed order. They are the chemical element that will erode the viscera of patriarchy, of normativity, of cisnormativity
they are the Chernobyl movement.
Chernobyl is an experimentation in a DJ-set/performance developing from a "cage with green gore". An LGBTQI+ collective from São Paulo, they refer to the city of Chernobyl, in which a nuclear accident occurred, causing many deaths and genetic deformities in several generations of people who lived in its vicinity. In Brazil many people are called Chernobyl as a pejorative term indicating a deformity, being these: queer, tranny fag, fat, black, among other dissenting performativity of the cis heteronormative white pattern.
Eric Oliveira is one of the protagonists of the collective and has already suffered many attacks on their social networks being called Chernobyl reminding that she would have come from a place where her body had gone beyond an acceptable form. The experiment relies precisely on re-naming the name by showing the potential these dissident bodies have over society. The “cage” is basically our bodies that cannot have contact with other people, because they are radioactive forms and in reaching/interacting with the social pattern, ends up contaminating other people in society.
KuirFest Berlin 2019 is closing the "Queer Feminist Rebels" Program with a celebration at Ostkreuz’s transfeminist DIY venue Raumerweiterungshalle. Bringing wide range of genres together with politics, this eclectic night will be fun, fabulous and a great finale for the second edition of KuirFest Berlin.

COMMUNIST DIVA: Bambyle Hörspiel mit Tine Rahel Völcker und Elena Schmidt
Lasst uns unsere liebsten vergangenen, zukünftigen und gegenwärtigen irgendwie Kommunistischen Divas feiern! Karl Marx wird 200, doch wir brauchen viel mehr für den Kampf gegen den Kapitalismus und seine ekligen Auswürfe wie Imperialismus, Kolonialismus, Rassismus, Sexismus und andere Diskriminierungsformen. Insbesondere brauchen wir Raum für nicht-cis-männliche Perspektiven!
Wir haben nicht nur aufregendes Programm für euch, sondern auch etwas besonderes zum Spielen: Get a Drink, Get Diva! 33 Divas warten auf euch. Ihr findet sie im Quartett: somewhat Communist Divas, ein subversives Kartenspiel, eigens für euch gefertigt von den Hallies & friends Caio, Ernest, Lee, Rina und Lanca.
Das akustische Highligt dieses Abends bildet das Hörspiel Bambyle von Elena Schmidt, Tine Rahel Völcker und Stefan Schneider (Uraufführung GORKI 2017). Es folgt sowohl historischen als auch fiktiven Spuren und Stimmen aus dem Umkreis der Entstehungsgeschichte von Ulrike Meinhofs Films Bambule. Bambule war ihre letzte journalistische Arbeit, bevor sie in den Untergrund ging und handelt von Mädchen in einem Westberliner Erziehungsheim Ende der 60er Jahre.
Zur Einstimmung lesen wir gemeinsam den kurzen Aufsatz »Die Frauen im SDS oder In eigener Sache« (1968), in dem Ulrike Meinhof die Ignoranz und den Machismo bei den linken Genossen anprangert und eine spontane Aktion gegen die Typen auch mal ohne das "ganz große theoretische Niveau" - nämlich in Form von Tomatenwurfgeschossen - gutheißt. Im Anschluss an Lektüre und Gedankenaustausch hören wir das Hörspiel »Bambyle«.
Tine Rahel Völcker ist Theater- und Hörspielautorin. Zuletzt beim Stückemarkt des Berliner Theatertreffens mit dem Stück »Adam und die Deutschen (Die Mühle)« und dem Workshop »Theater der Unterbühne«. Produktion diverser Theaterstücke, kollektiver Hörspiele sowie Mitarbeit an Performances.
Elena Schmidt Schauspielerin. Neben diversen Theaterengagements z.B. »Papa Liebt dich« (Gorki), »Auerhaus« (DT)und Rollen in Kurzfilmen wie »Die Premiere« und Kinofilmen wie »Local Heroes« arbeitete sie im Hörfunkbereich mit diversen Radiosendern zusammen und ist seit 2012 auch als Regisseurin und Dramaturgin im Hörfunkbereich für kollektive Hörspiele tätig.
Choral Set 2 A reading with Rindon Johnson, Ana Gzirishvili, and Zoe Darsee / Nat Marcus *
Rindon Johnson is a multidisciplinary artist and writer. Johnson’s sculptures, videos and performances have been shared at Haus der elektronischen Künste Basel; Human Resources, Los Angeles; MoMA PS1; Artists Space and National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne - among others. Johnson is the author of Nobody Sleeps Better Than White People from Inpatient Press, the virtual reality book, Meet in the Corner from Publishing-House.Me and Shade the King from Capricious. Johnson’s writing has been published by ArtForum, The Brooklyn Rail, Cultured, ICA Miami, The Miami Rail, The New Museum and Rhizome.

Ana Gzirishvili (*1992 in Tbilisi, Georgia) is a mixed-media artist. After finishing her bachelor’s degree at Tbilisi Art Academy in 2014, Ana became a DAAD scholar at Universität der Künste Berlin and currently studies new media and film in the class of professor Hito Steyerl. In 2014 and 2015, Gzirishvili was involved in organising workshops and exhibitions led by the Tbilisi Book Art Center and the Berlin-based bookstore and distributor Motto. Coming from a background of book- and print-making, in Berlin she’s started creating videos, CGI images, and experimenting with writing. Each of Gzirishvili’s projects are diverse and exist as independent cosmos. Through her experimental practice, she has made use of mediums ranging from videos to music, from drawing to designing clothes. Most often she combines various materials to create a concept, which sometimes is never “completed” as an artwork and rather stays in the mode of experimentation. These projects often examine visual and socio-cultural narratives of a space, object, or event based on sensuality and certain emotional experiences. http://immaterialsss.com/
Zoe Darsee and Nat Marcus are the co-founders and editors of TABLOID Press, a textual platform initiated in 2014. Its activities encompass book design, documentation, and writing workshops, in addition to its role as a press for art and poetry publications.

Communist Diva: Beziehungsweise Revolution Lesung mit Bini Adamczak
Lasst uns unsere liebsten vergangenen, zukünftigen und gegenwärtigen irgendwie Kommunistischen Divas feiern! Karl Marx wird 200, doch wir brauchen viel mehr für den Kampf gegen den Kapitalismus und seine ekligen Auswürfe wie Imperialismus, Kolonialismus, Rassismus, Sexismus und andere Diskriminierungsformen. Insbesondere brauchen wir Raum für nicht-cis-männliche Perspektiven!
Wir haben nicht nur aufregendes Programm für euch, sondern auch etwas besonderes zum Spielen: Get a Drink, Get Diva! 33 Divas warten auf euch. Ihr findet sie im Quartett: somewhat Communist Divas, ein subversives Kartenspiel, eigens für euch gefertigt von den Hallies & friends Caio, Ernest, Lee, Rina und Lanca.
Bini Adamczak liest aus ihrem neuesten Buch »Beziehungsweise Revolution. 1917, 1968 und kommende«. Im Oktober 2017 jährt sich die Russische Revolution zum 100. Mal. Anlass genug, die Ereignisse von 1917 durch das Prisma 1968 zu betrachten und beide Revolutionen in ein Verhältnis wechselseitiger Kritik zu bringen. Während 1917 auf den Staat fokussierte, zielte 1968 auf das Individuum. In Zukunft müsste es darum gehen, die »Beziehungsweisen« zwischen den Menschen in den Blick zu nehmen. Das Buch analysiert die revolutionären Geschlechterverhältnisse als Verhältnisse, die zwischen Privatheit und Öffentlichkeit, »Nahbeziehungen« und »Fernbeziehungen« geknüpft sind – das Geschlecht der Revolution. So tritt ein Begehren zutage, das nach wie vor seiner Realisierung harrt: das Begehren nach gesellschaftlichen Beziehungsweisen der Solidarität.
Bini Adamczak arbeitet als Autorin und Künstlerin zu politischer Theorie, queerfeministischer Politik und der vergangenen Zukunft von Revolutionen. Bisher sind von ihr erschienen: »Gestern Morgen«, »Über die Einsamkeit kommunistischer Gespenster und die Rekonstruktion der Zukunft« und »Kommunismus und Kommunismus. Kleine Geschichte, wie endlich alles anders wird«.
Weil Bini Adamczak leider krank war, las an ihrer Stelle Sophie Nikoleit.
Sophie Nikoleit hat Theaterwissenschaft und ein paar verwandte Sachen studiert und promoviert nun zu affektiven Involvieren in partizipativen Kunstformen. Dabei liegt der Fokus darauf, wie dort Zirkulationen von Emotionsrepertoires als (kulturelle) Bewegungen von Konzepten, Darstellungsformen und Praktiken von – im weitesten Sinne – Gefühlen sowohl vorausgesetzt als auch wiederholt werden, aber auch inwiefern ästhetische Formate zur Konstitution alternativer, aktualisierter Formen affektiven und emotionalen Erlebens führen. Dafür befragt sie konkret auch Performance-Installationen, die sich mit utopischen und revolutionistischen Bewegungen am Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts beschäftigen, nach möglichen Potentialen. Für ihre Arbeit bezieht sie sich stark auf das Buch „Beziehungsweise Revolution – 1917,1968 und kommende“ von Bini Adamczak.

COMMUNIST DIVA: Burning Red – On Violence Reading with Franziska Kleiner & Diana McCarty
photo: Hajnal Nemeth
This is a celebration of our favorite somewhat COMMUNIST DIVAS from the past, present and future. Karl Marx is turning 200, but we need more for fighting capitalism and its disgusting manifestations like imperialism, colonialism, racism and sexism and other discriminations. In particular we need to center non-cis-male perspectives!
We have not only an exciting program for you – there is also a super playful special for you: Get a Drink Get Diva! 33 Divas are waiting for you. Make sure to take a close look at the "somewhat Communist Divas Quartett", a subversive deck of cards especially crafted for you by Raumerweiterungshalle's Caio, Ernest, Lee, Rina, and Lanca.
For the beginning of the Communist Diva Special, the Telecommunists Diana McCarty and Franziska Kleiner will take us on a revolutionary journey with the synopsis of their screenplay BURNING RED about revolutionary Bosheviki in Georgia at the turn of the century, about armed resistance à la “Maschinengewehre unter großen Röcken”. They will talk about how/why they have focused on this story of teenaged communist fighters and why they think it is relevant for today.
Franziska Kleiner, works as a PR-woman in the IT-industry and works as a publisher and translator. Most recently »LUXEMBOURG to go« was published. She also wrote »Leben in der DDR: Bilder und Geschichten«
Diana McCarty is a media producer and founding editor of the artist run radio reboot.fm 88.4 Berlin, co-founder of the faces-l.net community and has been working with international projects that address gender, art and the politics of media since 1988.

~ Wet Kiss is a Melbourne based open-ended electronic music project by Brennan Olver. Not formally trained in music Wet Kiss live sets are stylistically diverse-bridging between performance art, noise and pop.

~ Alex Cuffe describes herself as a non-practising artist, born on the land of the Gadigal peoples of the Eora Nation known today as Sydney, Australia. Her current outputs are often conversational, written or spoken, and with an auxiliary interest in the production of live analog music. Her musical practice (TT_SKTLS) revolves around improvisation, utilizing hardware and circuit bent electronics, while also occupying queer and trans identity, interrupting understandings of what it means to produce music. She also co-founded Australian experimental homemade instrument band Sky Needle who have supported the likes of Omar Souleyman, The Residents, Ghédalia Tazartès.

SWITCH is a workshop series that aims to centralize (not exclusively) and empower women, people of color and queers through accessible music education.
Through these workshops, we hope to establish a culture of engaging participatory and multivocal approaches to sharing and spreading knowledg(es) of electronic music and electronic music performance within a DIY setting, thus encouraging self-empowerment among DIY, up-and-coming, and semi-professional emerging artists.
With time and resources, we see these efforts bridging analog and digital music performance cultures, providing knowledges of both forms and their potential overlaps.

'ASOZIAL' GELIEBT, GELIEBT ASOZIAL? ist eine Suche nach den Geschichten von als sog. asozial verfolgten Menschen mit besonderem Augenmerk auf lokale Geschichte verschiedener queerer, feministischer Gruppen und ihren Organisations- und Widerstandsformen.
Trotz des 80-jährigen Gedenkens unzähliger Verhaftungen sog. Asozialer durch die Aktion Arbeitsscheu Reich am 13.06. gibt es noch immer keine offizielle Anerkennung als Opfer des Nationalsozialismus. Dem setzen wir Gedenkausflüge, Filmscreenings und Diskussionen entgegen. Durch einen Blick in die NS-Vergangenheit und die Zeit deutscher Teilung werden Lebensweisen, einst gewachsene Strukturen sowie deren Zerschlagung sichtbar gemacht und Kontinuitäten von Ausgrenzung und Stigmatisierung intersektional betrachtet. Der Blick wandert von dort dialogisch zurück zu uns und in die Gegenwart.
Ohne genaue Definition wurden vom NS-Regime verschiedenste Menschen als ‘asozial‘ verfolgt z.B. wegen Armut, Arbeitslosigkeit oder -unwille, psychischer Krisen, Wohnungslosigkeit, Nichtsesshaftigkeit und anderen Widersprüchen zur NS-Ideologie. Auch Rom*nja, Sinti*zza, Sexarbeiter*innen und transidente Menschen wurden so verfolgt. Klassismus spielte dabei eine wesentliche Rolle. Die Verfolgung lesbischer Liebe im NS-Staat wird oft als Legende negiert. Während der Homosexuellenparagraf 175 nur für Männer galt, wurden manche Lesben wegen vermeintlicher ‘Asozialität‘, verwahrloster Liebe und Kriminalität denunziert, verfolgt und im KZ streng sanktioniert. Seit den 80er-Jahren versuchen lesbisch-feministische Initiativen gegen erhebliche Widerstände, ihr Gedenken, ihre Lebensweisen und widerständigen Praxen sichtbar zu machen.
Inmitten von wiedererstarkendem Chauvinismus, kontinuierlichem Rassismus und Klassismus geht es nicht nur um eine kritische Auseinandersetzung mit der Geschichte oder eine (Neu)Ordnung des Gedenkens, sondern auch um das Zelebrieren von Andersartigkeit. Ziel ist es alte und neue Widerstandsformen in den Blick zu nehmen, zu verhandeln und liebevolles, unordentliches Denken zu praktizieren.
Im Herbst 2018 werden zwei Abschlusspräsentationen der begleitenden Recherchegruppe in der Raumerweiterungshalle und Dyke Bar Spirits im Schwulen Museum* stattfinden
'ASOZIAL' GELIEBT, GELIEBT ASOZIAL? möchte Erinnerungslücken begegnen, Stigmatisierungen unterwandern und einen gemeinsamen und erweiterten Erfahrungsraum eröffnen.
Abschlusspodium: Teilen und Verbünden! mit Birgit Bosold, Ben Manuš Liehr & Emy Fem
Gemeinsam mit Birgit Bosold als Teil des Vorstands und Kuratoriums im Schwulen Museum*, Ben Manuš Liehr als freier Bildungsreferent zu Intersektionalität und Veranstalter sowie Emy Fem als Aktivistin, Performerin, Sexarbeiterin und Workshopleiterin werden abschließend verschiedene Perspektiven der Veranstaltungsreihe zusammengebracht und neue Bündnisse und Widerstandsformen diskutiert. Ziel ist es Erfahrungen zu teilen und Anteil zu nehmen, um zu reflektieren wie heute Solidarität aussehen kann.

Phral mende - Wir über uns Filmabend und Gespräch mit Tayo Awosusi-Onutor
„Phral mende - Wir über uns“ von Tayo Awosusi-Onutor (2017, 45 min. dt) ist eine Dokumentation, die Perspektiven von Sinti* und Roma* in Deutschland aufzeigt. Dieser Film ist kein Film ÜBER Sinti* und Roma*, sondern kommt aus der Mitte und beleuchtet eine Bandbreite von Themen wie die Bürgerrechtsbewegung, Erinnerungskultur und Alltagsrassismus. Die Regisseurin, Tayo Awosusi-Onutor, die selbst Sintizza ist, zeigt mit diesem Film die Diversität von Sinti* und Roma* auf und setzt gleichzeitig ein Zeichen gegen Rassismus gegen Sinti* und Roma* und für rassismuskritische Sprache.
Im Anschluss an den Film ist Zeit für ein Gespräch mit Tayo Awosusi-Onutor, die auch über die spannende Arbeit des feministischen Rromnja-Archiv RomaniPhen erzählen kann.

Filmabend: "… Dass das heute noch immer so ist – Kontinuitäten der Ausgrenzung"
ein Film der Initiative für einen Gedenkort ehemaliges KZ Uckermark e.V. & Österreichische Lagergemeinschaft, 2016, dt mit en & poln UT
Der Dokumentarfilm schildert exemplarisch die Geschichte von Verfolgung und Stigmatisierung sogenannter Asozialer im Nationalsozialismus. Maria Potrzeba wurde vorgeworfen, eine sexuelle Beziehung zu dem polnischen Zwangsarbeiter Florian Spionska zu haben. Sie war zu diesem Zeitpunkt 14 Jahre alt. Nach einem Verhör durch die Gestapo wurde sie in das Jugendkonzentrationslager Uckermark eingeliefert. Die polnischen Zwangsarbeiter Florian Spionska und Josef Goryl wurden öffentlich gehängt. Maria leidet bis heute unter der Verfolgung. Wie in allen Familien gibt es auch in ihrer Familie generationsübergreifende Auswirkungen der Verfolgungsgeschichte. In Interviewsequenzen erzählen Nichten und Neffen, wie sie von der Verfolgung ihrer Tante erfahren haben und was diese Geschichte für sie bedeutet.
In vielen deutschen Orten gibt es vermutlich ähnliche Geschichten der Verfolgung und Ausgrenzung. In Marias Heimatort Asbeck wird sich seit Jahren um eine Aufarbeitung der Geschichte bemüht.
Der Abend kann dann am Feuer mit Gesprächen gemütlich ausklingen.

My Two Polish Loves - Finding a Place to Sleep - Learning to Milk a Cow Screening in presence of the filmmakers
My Two Polish Loves from Tali Tiller, 2016, 50min, en, heb, pol with en subtitles
Tali embarks on an intimate journey to Lodz, Poland, to retrace her personal roots and collective history. At the centre are her two Polish loves: her expatriate lover Magda, who begins filming the trip, and her late grandmother Silvia, a Holocaust survivor whose voice and memories accompany the couple on their quest. As they wander the streets of Lodz looking for long-forgotten street names, visit the ghetto where Silvia spent her youth, and search for a nearly buried tombstone, Tali and Magda discover surprising similarities in their shared Polish heritage. The documentary explores how memories of the Holocaust and war are lived, narrated and passed down by women from generation to generation. It also asks: Will future generations be interested in the history of the Holocaust if there are no longer any direct witnesses? How important is physical memory? And what is the role of the third generation?
Finding a Place to Sleep from Juli Saragosa, 2013, en
Based on stories their grandmother told, the filmmaker re-imagines while working as a cleaner, the experiences of their ancestors living during the Holodomor (forced famine) in Ukraine during the Soviet era. The “film” image is re-invented through digital video to enact a sense of ambiguity between authenticity and fiction, as can also be present in the act of oral storytelling.
Learning to Milk a Cow from Juli Saragosa, 2016, 64min, en
The story of my grandmother’s life continues from Finding a Place to Sleep. When she was 19, she was taken from her family in urban Soviet Ukraine to work on a Bavarian farm under National Socialism. She had the luck and perseverance to survive hardships of the forced famine in her homeland and forced labour in the new one. The stories of her everyday life – learning how to milk a cow, falling in love – are interspersed with three generations of reflections on politics, longing, feelings of displacement and loss. Hand-processed black & white film, colour film, photographs and official documents create a montage of different perspectives. The hand-touch aesthetic combines with the acousmatic effect of disembodied voices, in this deeply intimate portrait obscured by memory loss, mis-translation, fear and trauma.

Im Gespräch mit dem AK kritische Asozialität, dem Zentralrat der Asozialen in Deutschland, Autorin Anne Allex und Henning Fischer, Autor von ‘Überlebende als Akteurinnen. Die Geschichte der Lagergemeinschaften Ravensbrück von 1945 bis 1989‘ möchten wir die verschiedenen Stimmen zu Umgangsweisen mit Stigmen dialogisch austauschen und die verschiedenen, kontroversen Zugänge, Strategien und Perspektiven bzgl. Gewalt, Verfolgung und Widerstand hörbar und besprechbar machen. Ziel ist eine kritische Auseinandersetzung mit dem Aneignen von Begriffen, sowie dem innerlinken Diskurs und Kontinuitäten bis heute: Welche Perspektiven wurden und werden in Widerstandsgruppen und Communities nicht mitgedacht oder sogar absichtlich ausgeschlossen? Es werden Ausgangspunkte gesucht, um reflektiert nach vorne zu schauen und Bündnisse einzugehen.

✧ THE CUMMING DYKESURRECTION ✧ grand season closing party
In a dark back lit alley, on a small, unnamed street behind Ostkreuz, we invite you to commonly invoke the resurrection of the dyke bar. Let’s celebrate dyke culture in its most expanded sense chanelling past and present complex and fluid experiences of feminine-spectrum queerness.
LINEUP:
✧ Angry dyke political esthetician Coco ✧
reading from her latest report on the death of the dyke bar
Why are dyke bars dying? How did we get here and what can we do? What does it mean to not have permanent spaces in which to gather but temporary ones that are dependent upon the jurisdiction of others? How can we look back and learn from the queer herstory of dyke bars that are problematically rooted in second wave feminism’s essentialist claims on dykedom while holistically looking forward to create queer spaces for dykes that envelope a broadened understanding of the term? Join this talk for musings on a contemporary dykesurrection that hopes to incite ideas for a critical resuscitation of the dyke bar.

DUBAIS + SABA LOU concert
Dubais
is the Lo-Fi Arab-futurist band from visual artist Nadia Buyse. Nadia has been in over 37 bands, collaborating with many artists and musicians in various capacities… but name dropping is totally boring A.F.
From absurd synth covers to bedroom pop songs about dating the devil and murdering him , Nadia’s music jumps from genre to genre, being thread together by a strong DIY Aesthetic and video art that spans over installation, performance, visual albums, experimental pop operas, etc.
Although DUBAIS operates like a band, it’s actually a vehicle for conceptual work and cultural activism in which Nadia uses the tropes of pop music to examine Diasporic migration, Neo-liberal dystopia, emotional incapacitations, consumer technologies, hybrid identities, intersectional feminism, and transnational communities. DUBAIS has released music, published text, taught a multitude of workshops, lectured, exhibited work, and performed internationally in a variety of space and places.
SABA LOU
Saba Lou was born in the year 2000 in Kassel, Germany. She moved to Berlin with her family in 2005. She began her recording career at the age of 6, putting out a 4 song 7-inch on Atlanta’s Slaughthaus/Rob’s House Records. At the age of 8 she recorded “Good Habits (and Bad)” which was then used for the end credits on Cartoon Network’s “Clarence” t.v. show. The song was also released in 2012 on the “Until The End” 7-inch on Seth Bogart’s (aka Hunx) label Wacky Wacko records. Saba Lou recorded her debut album “Planet Enigma” this year at the age of fifteen. Ryan Sambol, of the Strange Boys, makes a guest appearance on “Our Fate”. Erin Wood from the Spits also sings back ups and provides some space synth on “Planet Enigma”. The album was recorded at Moon Studios, Berlin in late 2015- early 2016. Saba Lou is currently finishing up high school in Berlin. Her hobbies are drawing, collecting records, reading and writing songs.
Entrance is donation based, on a sliding scale of 5-10 euros for this special performance. The concert begins at 20H / 8PM.

für eine kollektive Auseinandersetzung mit dem Ist-Zustand und der Welt, die wir wollen. Im Licht des Spätsommers möchten
wir ein Kaleidoskop an Themen mit euch diskutieren, die uns auf den (lackierten) Nägeln brennen.
Es wird Workshops mit partizipativem Charakter und unterschiedlichen Formaten geben, zum Beispiel zu Gewaltprävention, Kommunikation, Sexism*en und Sorgearbeit. Wir wollen nachdenken, kreativ schreiben und später tanzen.
Mit Küche für alle und einem Abendprogramm sorgen wir für Körper und Herz. Neben, zwischen und nach den Workshops wird gequatscht, vernetzt, gelesen, gesiebdruckt – und am besten werden gleich konkrete Pläne geschmiedet.

Bike Diva: Ovarian Psycos SCREENING
your weekly night at Raumerweiterungshalle!
Celebrating past and future divas - and the diva in each of us - every thursday from 19h to 23h.
Let’s celebrate gangs and bikes – Let’s reclaim the streets.
We are screening the film Ovarian Psycos by Joanna Sokolowski and Kate Trumbull-LaValle and The Ovarian Psycos Cycle Brigade about a new generation of women of color in East Los Angeles who are redefining identity and building community through a raucous, irreverently named bicycle crew: The Ovarian Psycos Cycle Brigade.
Maybe we are lucky enough for good weather open air cinema!
HOT SWEATY DIVAS / Dyke4president DOUBLE FEATURE PLANNING + POSTER RELEASE
your weekly night at Raumerweiterungshalle!
We want to build a sauna. For real. Come sign up for planning and building days. Get hot’n’sweaty from summer now, and join forces with us so we can get hot’n’sweaty in winter, too! so the halle season will never again end!
Meanwhile have you noticed the ugly ass election posters plastering the city? We don’t like them and have put together a poster to articulate some alternative demands. Based on Zoe Leonard’s 1992 „i want a dyke for president“ comes a 2017 Berlin version.
Come pick up a stack of posters at the Halle tonight, bring your bikes and friends and let’s do a big poster action all over the city. We’ll provide some buckets, glue and brushes, but also please do bring equipment if you have any!
The full poster is available in print resolution (A2) for download **here**. We encourage you to print it, put it up, send it to a friend. Please be aware that glueing own posters on top of election posters is considered a criminal offence (Straftat/Sachbeschädigung) by German law. We encourage you to consider what risks you can take, and if you go out in teams, make sure to check in with each other about that beforehand. Don't despair tho! There are plenty of "legal" ways to put up posters!

the topic of danger is something that has come up for us. we sometimes feel in danger. we sometimes seem dangerous. we are two members of "cute club" - a club for those who seem tough, but are actually cute as hell inside. one musician, one dancer (tho we switch), we use music and dance to energise the journey through the topic of danger considering fear & pain, the real & perceived, self-protection, self-destruction and death.

STARKE STIMME Ein Workshop mit Elena Schmidt (staatlich ausgebildete Schauspielerin)
Die Stimme ist die Verlängerung des Körpers.
Dort wo ich stehe, kann niemand anderer sein. Diese Position beanspruche ich allein durch die Existenz meines Körpers. Ich kann mit meiner Hand einen Gegenstand verschieben. Dort wo mein Arm nicht lang genug ist, kann ich meine Stimme benutzen, jemanden zB. bitten oder davon überzeugen, für mich den Gegenstand weiter nach links oder rechts zu schieben.
Durch meine Stimme kann ich den Radius meines Körpers erweitern, meinen Ansprüchen, Gedanken und Bedürfnissen mehr Raum geben, ihnen Gehör verschaffen, etwas "bewegen".
Stimme ist gleich Stimmung. Wenn uns jemand anruft, entnehmen wir allein der Stimme des_r Anrufer_in wie es ihr_ihm geht. Ein geschulter und bewusster Einsatz unserer Stimme hilft uns, Informationen jenseits des sprachlichen Inhalts zu transportieren.
In dem Stimmkurs werden wir gezielt an diesen Fähigkeiten arbeiten: Atemtechniken erproben, den Körper als Resonanzraum erforschen und üben die Stimme gezielt in den Raum zu schicken.
Celebrating past and future divas - and the diva in each of us - every thursday from 19h to 23h.
Come join us for a night of destruction and reappropriation!
A MEETING OF THE SOCIETY FOR CUTTING UP MAN
with a screening of S.C.U.M. Manifesto by Les Insoumuses (Carole Roussopoulos & Delphine Seyrig), 1976
and a cut up ritual of René Descartes' 1666 text "Treatise on Man", a thoroughly mechanistic account of the human body, installing rational mind-body divide and the idea of man as machine well into the minds of the coming centuries.
We at SCUM Diva will keep on destroying, looting, fucking-up and killing until the money-work system no longer exists and automation is completely instituted or until enough women
co-operate with SCUM
doors at 7
screening at 8
cutting up MAN at 9 - scissors and knives will be provided by Amelia Bande and Annika Högner
Men who are rational, however, just sit back, relax, enjoy the show and ride the waves to your demise.

QUEER HEALING FILMS
Celebrating past and future divas - and the diva in each of us - every thursday from 19h to 23h.
This high vibrational curation is recharged and expanded upon from the original queer healing program in Amsterdam at Queeristan last year. These magical filmmakers span Turtle Island (North America), Asia, and Africa. This unapologetic program embraces the sacredness of continual self transformation. It investigates an idea of self care that doesn't shy away from politics or mental health stigmas. Video Crystals, video spells, video rituals and video poetry encourage healing and vulnerability among us.
Three healers will be in attendance and are available for sessions by donation. Please make sure to bring some euros for their valuable work. They will be there before and after the screening in the garden.
Celebrating past and future divas - and the diva in each of us - every thursday from 19h to 23h.
DOOM DIVA is loud. Come be Loud with us!
Enjoy two finest metal bands.
Lithalsa (drone doom)
Lithalsa occur when ice forms beneath the ground and lifts the earth above it. Lithalsa are F, J and V who live together and play metal.
Lithalsa can be an ocean of possibilities or a black hole.
Choral Hearse is an all-queer, post/doom-metal band, consisting of Sara Neidorf (guitar), Liaam Iman (vocals), Bar Landau (bass), and Eszter Kadar (drums). The band formed in Berlin in early 2015 when Liaam and Sara began performing as an acoustic metal duo. Slowly the band gained its third and fourth members and got increasingly louder and noisier. The band is inspired by sacrilege, odysseys, and all things which fester underneath the surface. Their full-length album will be released in autumn/winter 2017.
It is summer and we invite you to join us for another queer fat femme clothing swap at lovely Raumerweiterungshalle.
Bring your stuff, browse, hang out, connect.
Please bring your own snacks.
We will have a donation box for the swap.
Please read the guidelines (german version below/auf deutsch weiter unten)
*GUIDELINES*
- When you are bringing stuff, please focus on clothes that fit a variety of body types. Please leave tiny or small clothes out.
Orientation: Size 16 (44) and up or stretchy as fuck.
- Needless to say, the things you bring should be clean and not *too* broken. Jewellery, make-up, shoes, deco, wigs and so on are all very welcome!
- Please do not bring racist/cultural apropriating stuff like afro wigs or headdresses etc.
- Please be sensitive considering the clothes you are taking. When you are a baby fat, chubby or let's say under a size 22 (50) do not take the only beautiful shirt in a size 28 and wear it as a oversize dress.
From experience there is always a shortage of pretty super size clothing, like in the real world. so let's share the gems we have.
- All allies are welcome. If you are at the clothing swap as an ally don't take the clothes befor 7pm (End). Support us, have a lemonade, enjoy the music.
- Most areas at Raumerweiterungshalle are wheelchair accessible incl a Toilet. If you encounter any problems, please let us know and We'll try to find a solution.
There is no space for racism, homo- and transphobia, fat-shaming and sexism.

Pink Guerilla Gardening Bathroom laws, gay propaganda laws, same-sex marriage opposition, religious objections, (cyber) bullying, discrimination and more anti-whatever. Being queer in 2017 is messy.
As one out of many symbols for the global struggle for queer liberation Pink Guerilla Gardening plans to spread pink flowers and seeds of pink flowers around the world. Especially poisonous, near-extinct species that are good for bees. Pink Guerrilla Gardening is a concept that shows that we’re here, that we will spread, that we’re supernatural and impossible to exterminate.
Come plant, make seedbombs, plant more, and share some Rosé- and Rhabarberschorle with us to the lovesongs of the Berliner Rundfunk DJ Team.

Hot Chix: Neither Here nor There // Geile Uschis: weder hier noch dort
A multimedia durational piece seeking to expose the inconsistencies in Berlin’s queer and feminist scene. As previous non-artists, we seek to (re)claim the title artist from the social structures of both mainstream and marginal social scenes that have, due to varying power structures and disseminations of capital (social, economic, sexual, etc.) barred us from arriving at this identity. Until now.
This year entzaubert will be holding a special event over 4 days, diving deep into the archives, to increase the visibility of one of the world’s few DIY self-organized queer film archives.
we invite the audience to take a look at our archives, to work practically on maintaining the films, with the goal of developing an accessible self-organized sustainable independent DIY queer film archive.
through this collective training camp we hope to find fresh perspectives on the archive: reflecting on film submissions, selection process and programming; exchanging about DIY collective work practices, distribution and economies – through hands-on as well as conceptual workshops, panels and discussions.
Local Honey uses vocal modification, noise, and dissonant pop sounds paired with visions of both queer familial relationships and solitude to invoke sonic womanhood. She reverses feminine sound as a weapon, a cathartic battlecry: like hard femme heaven.

Productions and wonders – a feminist archive in action
With Rotmi Enciso and Ina Riaskov
Producciones y Milagros Agrupación Feminista is a small Mexican organisation with one of the countries biggest photographic archives specialised on the feminist movement in Mexico and Latin America. We see photography, video and graphics as tools for collective and individual remembrance work and art as expression and process of radical feminist self care and self defence. Tonight we’d like to present our work in context of the current political situation in Mexico. Femicides, enforced disappearances, abortion politics, sexualised violence as well as antifeminist vendettas on facebook and twitter are all part of our political work.
Accompanied by the exhibition: female* fights, which features snapshots of feminist campaigns in Mexico and other Latin American countries.
There will be background music by Las Puchachitas (feminist Son Jarocho) during the exhibition. Las Puchachitas are a group of Mexican women who met in Berlin. They are Feminists, Decolonialists, against racism, capitalism and patriarchy, queer, happy and antidepressive. With their version of Son Jarocho, they call into question female gender roles.

Producciones y Milagros – Un archivo fotográfico feminista en acción con Rotmi Enciso e Ina Riaskov
Producciones y Milagros Agrupación Feminista es una organización mexicana con uno del los archivos fotográficos feminista más grande en México y América Latina. Fotografía, video y creación gráfica son para nosotras herramientas de construcción y resguardo de memoria colectiva e individual. Entendemos la creación artística como expresión y proceso de autocuidado y autodefensa feminista radical. En esta charla queremos presentar nuestro trabajo en el contexto actual de México. Feminicidio, desaparición forzada, el derecho al aborto, violencia sexual y también las campañas de odio en redes sociales digitales son algunos de los temas que abordamos.
Exposición: “Defender la alegría, organizar la rabia – luchas de mujeres, mujeres en lucha” reúne momentos plasmados en nuestro archivo fotográfico desde México y otros países del Abya Yala.
La exposición será acompanyada de Las Puchachitas (Son Jarocho Feminista). Las Puchachitas son un grupo de mujeres mexicanas, feministas, decoloniales, antiracistas, anticapitalistas, antipatriacales, cuir, felices y antidepresivas que se encontraron en Berlín y que reivindican el papel de las mujeres en los versos del Son Jarocho.

Produktionen und Wunder – Ein feministisches Bildarchiv in Aktion
Mit Rotmi Enciso und Ina Riaskov
Producciones y Milagros Agrupación Feminista ist eine kleine mexikanische Organisation mit einem der größten auf feministische Bewegungen spezialisierten Fotoarchive in Mexiko und Lateinamerika. Fotografie, Video und grafische Kreation verstehen wir als Werkzeuge zur gemeinschaftlichen und individuellen Gedächtnisarbeit und Kunst als Ausdruck und Prozess radikaler feministischer Selbstsorge und Selbstverteidigung. In der Veranstaltung möchten wir unsere Arbeit im Kontext der aktuellen Situation in Mexiko vorstellen. Feminizid, gewaltsames Verschwindenlassen, Abtreibungsrecht, sexualisierte Gewalt und Übergriffe, wie auch antifeministische Hasskampagnen auf facebook und twitter sind Themen mit denen wir uns auseinandersetzen.
Die Ausstellung Frauen*kämpfe zeigt Momentaufnahmen feministischer Aktionen in Mexiko und anderen lateinamerikanischen Ländern der letzten Jahre.
Die Ausstellung wird musikalisch begleitet von Las Puchachitas (Feministischer Son Jarocho). Las Puchachitas sind eine Gruppe von mexikanischen Frauen, die sich in Berlin getroffen haben. Sie sind Feministinnen, Dekolonialistinnen, gegen Rassismus, Kapitalismus und das Patriarchat, queer, glücklich und antidepressiv. Mit den Versen des Son Jarocho hinterfragen sie Rollenzuschreibungen an Frauen.

Won Cha: FUKÚ SPEAK Opening July 7, 7-11pm
Exhibition open by appointment only July 8 - 10
C&O and Raumerweiterungshalle are happy to introduce a new installation by New York and Seoul based artist Won Cha, the artist’s first solo exhibition in Germany.
The spirit of trauma tends not to explain itself clearly, or to let itself be seen. Individuals, families, cultures and cities live with shadows pressing hard against their backs and minds, speaking white noise into their ears, and dimming their vision. In the absence of something concrete to pull apart we recreate the original event, returning to the scene to gather more information on the faceless weights that guide us. But spirits don’t allow themselves to be locked down. Before revealing themselves, they must first be made comfortable.
Using first encounter narratives by a shipwrecked British envoy, found drawings from underground gay sex spaces in New York and Seoul, stickers from a child’s room, and commercial images from plastic surgery advertisements in Seoul, Cha has synthesized an environment in which a fukú, a concept from the Dominican Republic, which author Junot Diaz specifically describes as ‘the Curse and Doom of the new world,’ is reanimated. Cha’s installation offers an opportunity to look through the other side of the mirror, to gaze at the embittered ooze of a perpetual collision between estranged disarranged bodies.

SEVEN ELEVEN DIVA HEAVEN
your weekly night at Raumerweiterungshalle!
Celebrating past and future divas - and the diva in each of us - every thursday from 19h to 23h.
This diva night is dedicated to Florynce "Flo" Kennedy (1916 - 2000), Black radical activist, attorney and founder of the Feminist Party, which nominated Shirley Chisholm for President of the United States. Among many other things, she fought for abortion rights, against marriage, represented Assata Shakur and Valerie Solanas, led a pee-in on a Harvard University lawn, co-founded the National Black Feminist Organization (NBFO) and was called "The biggest, loudest and, indisputably, the rudest mouth on the battleground" by People magazine in 1974.
"I approve of anyone wearing what the establishment says you must not wear."
In the spirit of Flo Kennedy, we encourage everyone to dress up weirdly for the night...

POLYNERVÖS: TOUCH PLEASURE WORK performances and workshop
Communicating with our bodies and through touch is the first form of language we learn. It accompanies us throughout our lives.
How does the perception of our bodies influence the possible ways of touching and being touched? What kinds of contact are socially accepted, what is confined to specific contexts? How do prevailing conventions form our bodies and touch? In ‘touch pleasure work’ the performers discover modes of touch by curiously exploring and playing, opening up new perspectives.
In the second part of the show, we open up the performing area to the audience and invite you to interact directly with the performers.
On Saturday, 3-6pm, there will be a workshop in which we invite you to get to know the work of the ensemble. Bring comfortable clothes, no prior experience required, language will be English or German, as required. Space is limited to 12 participants. To sign up, or any further questions concerning details, write to touch.theaterprojekt@gmail.com or call Julian: 0151-2016696.
Kommunikation durch Berührung ist die erste Sprachform die wir lernen und sie begleitet uns ein Leben lang.
Wie entscheidet die Wahrnehmung unserer Körper darüber, welche Möglichkeiten des Berührens und Berührtwerdens sich uns eröffnen? Welche Formen von Berührung sind in der Gesellschaft akzeptiert, welche nur in bestimmten Kontexten? Wie limitieren vorherrschende Konventionen, Körper und Berührungen? In ‚touch pleasure work‘ entdecken die Performer*innen durch unvoreingenommenes Forschen und Spielen Berührungsmöglichkeiten und eröffnen dem Publikum neue Perspektiven.
Im zweiten Teil öffnen wir die Spielfläche für eine begrenzte Anzahl von Zuschauer*innen für direkte Interaktion mit den Performer*innen.
Samstag, 21.May, in der Raumerweiterungshalle, 20 Uhr.
https://www.facebook.com/Raumerweiterungshalle
Um Reservierung wird gebeten: touch.theaterprojekt@gmail.com
Am Samstag, 21. May, laden wir euch ein von 15-18 Uhr in die Arbeitsweise des Ensembles einzutauchen. Bitte bringe bequeme Kleidung mit, keine Vorerfahrung nötig. Workshhopsprache wird je nach Bedarf englisch oder deutsch sein. Anmeldung und alle weitere Fragen bitte an to touch.theaterprojekt@gmail.comoder an Julian: 0151-2016696.

THE BICYCLE screening in presence of the filmmaker
"Susanne is a young single mother who lives a somewhat "carefree" lifestyle. After quitting her job, she finds herself in trouble financially and attempts a minor insurance fraud to make ends meet. Despite its rare view of everyday socialism from a woman's perspective, East German officials were critical of this frank portrayal of a less-than-ideal socialist citizen and turned down all invitations for the film to be screened abroad. In West Germany, however, Evelyn Schmidt's film received much praise for its critical feminist approach. The Bicycle was part of the 2005 Rebels with a Cause: The Cinema of East Germany retrospective, shown at The Museum of Modern Art, New York" - DEFA Film Library
This event is organised by the Raumerweiterungshalle collective and T.V.O.D.
T.V.O.D. is a project from Pauline Recke and Fine Freiberg, which used to be working as a project-space for film screenings, exhibitions and queer subculture from 2011-13 in Manteuffelstr. T.V.O.D. has at the moment no fixed address.

ART KINO #11 screening in collaboration with gsl projekt
The second edition of Art Kino in Berlin is a collaboration with GSL Projekt.
Art Kino #11 is presented as an anti-screening; it's as much about the selection of films as it is about creating opportunities for filmmakers active in Berlin to present their new works in a dialogue with older artworks we like. The program is a selection of contemporary video artworks and films representing different tendencies within the medium.
Alana Lake
Rita Macedo
Doireann O'Malley
Natasja Loutchko
Hanna Bergfors & Kornelia Kugler
More artists to be announced...
GSL Projekt is a collaborative curatorial project that produces exhibitions and events in Berlin and internationally.
The Art Kino Film Club aims to establish a permanent forum for experimental film and video art in Stockholm and Berlin; to give the art films and their audience a place and a context that they deserve, for further exposure and understanding. Art Kino screenings feature both works that have touched and influenced us over the years as well as newer projects and artistry that we've come across only recently. Works from both the Swedish and international art scene. Art Kino was initiated by the curator Giovanni Naves, culture producer Eric Weber and the artist Virlani Rupini in Sweden, 2007.
Art Kino program # 11, is produced together with the filmmaker Hanna Bergfors.

TWO VIDEOS BY PHILIPP GUFLER screening in presence of the artist
IMAGINARY MASCULINITY (2012) is an investigation into representations and constructions of masculinity. The artist creates a collage of past and present ideals of masculinity and their transgressions, visualizing the decomposition of supposedly irrefutable gender identities.
PROJECTION ON THE CRISIS (Gauweilereien in Munich) (2014) transfers the spectator into a classical white cube setting, where Gufler presents documents collected from the archive Forum Homosexualität München e.V. in chronological order and complements them with recent works by artist friends. The infamous Peter Gauweiler (former Bavarian State Secretary) and the then Bavarian Minister of Education, Hans Zehetmair, answer the emergence of the AIDS epidemic with the most drastic and shocking proposals. Gufler opposes these homophobic resentments with the emancipatory battle cries of Munich’s gay and lesbian movement and thus draws an oscillating image of Munich and at the same time German history.
Philipp Gufler is an artist based in Munich.

IHRA LILL:
HOW TO MAKE THE MOVIE OF YOUR DREAMS screening in presence of the artist
This is the director, or "The creator of it all," as she would call herself on a good day. This interview was held on a good day. She was not sober or in the most focused of states, but she was happy and having unusually high good feelings about the progress of this project. She has been enthusiastic about her projects in the past. But this time it felt different. She has made many movies, all with an idea of spreading joy and insight, not taking in account the involuntarily narrow target audience. Up until now she has made about 67 video works, depending on your definition of the terms “made” and “works”.
The story: At some key moments we will know more than our main character does. He is suffering from selective memory loss. We have to assume that he knows himself best, but right now everything is a painful blur to him. As long as Lill Apocalypse is refusing to acknowledge what happens, we can`t really know for sure. He is not to be trusted, we can only follow him into disaster, revelations or nothingness. He is going to need help. That sounds easy enough, but we have to consider what kind of person we're dealing with.
- So you’re making a movie about making a movie before you have the idea for what the movie is?
- Yeah. That’s the plan.
The screening will be followed by a conversation between Ihra Lill and Mysti who we welcomed last year with her lecture performance

CARY CRONENWETT:PEACE OF MIND screening in presence of the artist
PEACE OF MIND documents the life of American artist, Flo McGarrell, prior to his untimely death in the earthquake that struck Haiti in January of 2010. Through interviews, local artists discuss McGarrell's impact on the community and the small queer movement that was instigated around the FOSAJ Art Center in Jacmel where he worked.
The director, Cary Cronenwett, was a collaborative partner of McGarrell’s, and through making Peace of Mind, he processes his own grief and copes with the absence of a friend. Prior to the tragedy, Cronenwett and McGarrell were developing a film based on the novel, KATHY GOES TO HAITI, by Kathy Acker. Shot only weeks before McGarrell’s death, with Zackary Drucker playing Kathy Acker, the footage from the unfinished project blurs the line between fiction and documentary.

RAVIOLI ME AWAY
concert
Ravioli Me Away are a dangerously ambitious & delusional all-girl jazzy, post-pop-punk/hip-funk outfit with a stylistic theme spanning all past, present & future human cultures and subcultures. Consider vintage Bananarama played with twice the sass and urgency, only reflected in the eyes of a much overworked & downright exhausted Julie Burchill on acid.
Featuring members of Plug & Spin Spin The Dogs, Ravioli Me Away have played a host of venues, galleries and festivals to date; each show different, fresh and always high-energy. The trio have also recorded & released an EP on Upset the Rhythm since forming last year and have a brand spanking new long player out on Good Job Records, as well as a euro tour only tape on Neen Records, recorded w/ Ben Wallers (The Rebel/Country Teasers) at the helm. Yes!!
Your friend and mine La JohnJoseph returns to her beloved Berlin to read from her international bonkbuster "Everything Must Go" (ITNA Press).
After successful sessions at St.George's books, Vogue Fabrics and the Southbank Centre, this globe trotting Garfield invites you to enjoy an enchanted evening of literary sedition at Raumerweiterungshalle.
With special guests Liz Rosenfeld and Travis Jeppesen reading from their own putrid tomes.
What the Critics Say:
"A scandalous Pynchon-esque debut....a wonderland of depravity that perches somehow outside of all four dimensions. " - Dazed and Confused Magazine
"Fast-paced, witty, and irreverent, La JohnJoseph’s debut novel sheds neon light on the darkest corners of human potential." - Original Plumbing
"Draws masterfully on the places literature can go where theory falls short, pushing for maximum engagement with the absurd and taboo, gleefully layering pop and subcultural references over each other." - Lambda Literary Review

THE SWAN SONG: HESCHEL - ANATOMY OF A SCENE
operetta
On our way to finishing the fourth and final act of the operetta "The Swan Song" we would like to invite you to explore the character of Heschel with us. Heschel is a soft spoken and fierce lawyer who hacks his way through the jungle of bureaucracy while exposing a bleeding heart. Can Heschel bear this responsibility?
The evening will present several versions of this climactic scene, exploring text and music. At last, our host will lift the curtain and guide us behind the scenes for a conversation with the Swan Song Family.
"The Swan Song", an Operetta in 4 Acts, has been in continuous production by a stubborn group of creators and an ever growing crowd of lovely guest performers. It is performed scene-by-scene and year-by-year in various venues throughout Berlin.

ANOTHER MOVEMENT!
screening presented in collaboration with Catch Fire
The first MOVEMENT! screening took place in May 2013 at the former project space SHIFT. The event aimed to show different ways in which contemporary queer, trans* and feminist artists use music and sound in combination with dance and other body practices in order to investigate and express queer identification and dis-identification. It featured works of artists such as Tejal Shah, Daniel Cremer, Brontez Purnell, Go! Push Pops, Margaret V. Haines, Liz Rosenfeld and Chris E. Vargas.
While it's precursor focussed more on the "show" side of cultural production - on choreography, disguise and rhythm - the second edition will be more introspective and conceptual. The aim is to show a collection of more personal, which allow the audience more space for reflection and contemplation. But don’t worry, it won’t be boring.

KRISTOF TRAKAL IN THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST screening & discussion in presence of the artist
The young Jeff Goldblum impersonator Kristof Trakal leaves New York for San Francisco to star in an Invasion of the Bodysnatchers remake. Soon he gets involved in the uncanny machinations at the set: something is wrong with the film production: he is forced to retreat to a therapeutic center in the northern Californian mountains – with unexpected methods: he finds himself in an acting workshop to his inner jurassic park with Goldblum as his personal teacher.
"My film is partly travelogue partly narrative archive through representations of the Pacific Northwest of found footage that is less found then actually pop cultural indoctrination. Travelling, I was confronted with images known to me through cinematic affect: mostly as a teenager of Hollywood films I watched over and over again before being a filmmaker and constructing film images differently. The Pacific Northwest opened a mediated path to a younger self and processes of identification through movies that I hadn't uncovered before. The persona I created during travelling and making the film was a naive and emotional version of my teenage self and is thus also called Kristof Trakal. This Trakal narrates the time-travel o-rama as a journey through a specific region and regional history as a radically private coming of age limbo; The film, part of my ongoing PREPARATIONS cycle about survivalism & preparationism, is a way to index ideas concerning survivalism, horror films, historism, archive fever and at the same time create a compressed document of the persona's practices of travel in Sep/Oct 2011 from San Francisco to Vancouver."
Kristof Trakal is a writer, filmmaker and artist living in Berlin and Los Angeles.
FOUR FILMS BY SARAH J. CHRISTMAN
screening & discussion in presence of the artist
presented in collaboration with Betonsalon Berlin
Sarah J. Christman makes non-fiction films that explore the intersections between people, technology and the
natural world. She received the New Visions Award from the San Francisco International Film Festival for her film "Dear Bill Gates" and Jury Awards from the Ann Arbor Film Festival for "Broad Channel" and "As Above, So Below." Christman’s work has screened widely, including the MoMA Documentary Fortnight, Rotterdam International Film Festival, Toronto International Film Festival, New York Film Festival, and the Los Angeles Filmforum. She is an Assistant Professor in the Film Department at Brooklyn College.
SHE'S FAST, SHE'S FRIGHTENING
an evening with films about girl gangs, rage and revenge
Come to see some of the nice small D.I.Y. - punk films by Bev Zalcock and Sara Chambers.
“Fireworks revisited” takes Kenneth Anger's film from 1947 as an example and reinterprets it from a lesbian point of view. In an associative way, the film inquires about the female gaze in cinema and erotic fantasies.
Afterwards we will watch a Rage and Revenge Film from 1997, which is inspired by films like Thelma and Louise, yet being more explicit in its presentation of violence. The film follows a group of women working in a strip bar and forming a gang to take action against rapists.
Here you can find an interview about the topics of women violence and the question if revenge films are right wing or left wing:
SICK: THE LIFE AND DEATH OF BOB FLANAGAN, SUPERMASOCHIST by Kirby Dick screening
This documentary profiles poet/performance artist Bob Flanagan, who was born with cystic fibrosis. Flanagan explains, with engaging humor, how his obsession with controlled, self-inflicted pain has helped him to deal with his uncontrollable suffering. His philosophy forces one to look at sado-masochism with fresh eyes. The film includes explicit scenes of genital self-mutilation.

IS FREE LABOR FEMINIST PRACTICE? by Mysti
lecture performance
MASTER'S TOOL: Is unpaid labor, be it professional or DIY, an acceptable tool within queer feminist practice? Is the invocation of 'community' a hollow one when used to request unpaid leave from paid jobs, accrued personal costs as assumed donations, and unspecified amounts of time that could be used for other things like jerking off. Can a community of unpaid laborers create a project owned by a single author?
Kickfarter and indie-agogo: Do they really fund art? Or are they simply vehicles for consuming outside our means? Rich kids with supportive families being the most likely to cash in... Furthermore, a budget devoured by location, transport, long-term camera and equipment rental before considering the cost of employing people legitimately resembles to me only the standard movements of an unquestioning consumer within a now globalized neoliberal moment that seeks an absolute devaluation of labor. Is making any money from free labor conscionable?
*Mysti asks questions while seeking no answers whatsoever. Tune in or zone out cause she doesn't care. There will be no Q&A under any circumstances, only drinks, public gropes and imminent potentiality for a hog pile of hatefuckers, cause alongside all the good qualities of community, violence exists as well. Tonight please embrace Mysti, the finger-pointer, as an opportunity to loosen your tight holes.
"My interest is in not exclusively using instrumentation to write/arrange songs. I also use video clips to generate the arrangements and tempo. I use memories, Billy Strayhorn, psychoanalysis and cultural heart ache to determine lyrical content. Although DUBAIS exists as a band, it really exists more as a vehicle in which I can explore multidimensional compositional strategies through a displaced cultural lens."
BLACK IS... BLACK AIN'T by Marlon Riggs
screening & debate
Come join us for a screening of "Black is… Black ain't", the final film by Marlon Riggs. In this mix between more abstract theoretical and highly personalized storytelling, he investigates struggles and conflicts around African American identity and gives a strong statement for the embracing of differences, mutual support and solidarity. Despite his deteriorating state of health during the shooting of the film, his last work is, once again, fiercely intelligent, complex and elegant.

screening
Come and join us for the screening of Lionel Soukaz and Guy Hocquenghem's "La Race d'Ep", a rare pearl of queer experimental filmmaking. Banned in its time. Defended by Guattari and Foucault among others, "La Race d'Ep" proposes an activist understanding of filmmaking at the same time it presents an incredible exploration of the possibilities of the cinematic lan.beschreibungstextguage and resources.
Enjoy the "jouissance" and playfulness of this breathtaking document, unfortunately still scarcely available.

SINGULAR/PLURAL 4 SINGULAR/PLURAL features several programmes of films and videos that can, in one way or another, be considered first-person narratives.
At the same time questioning narratives or any kind of linear biographical construction, these experimental films, documentaries and video art pieces each show a singular perspective on the relation of the individual to a broader social context.
Ross McElwee - Time Indefinite (113min, 1993)
Time Indefinite is an autobiographical documentary film exploring themes of grief, mortality, and the convenient disconnection of watching life through a camera lens.
In the film, McElwee takes us on a cinematic journey, trying "to document little moments" from his life. These moments also include his reflections on his past, as when he recalls some of his childhood questions: "Do fish go to heaven? Is their heaven an aquarium? And if it is, then who cleans it?"
Although McElwee has a wellspring of humor, as evidenced by the Woody Allen-esque musings on fish-heaven, he is also willing to expose the viewer to the pain and sadness of life. McElwee is unafraid to show old age in all its unexalted reality or to discuss death in all its tragedy. At times death seems a very obsession: Having just observed that he's spent six out of his thirty rolls of film on a children's cemetery in Mexico, he wonders whether death must then be on his mind twenty percent of the time.
McElwee has a keen cinematic eye for the existentially absurd. At one point, he decides that he must visit his father's house in order to reconcile himself to his father's permanent departure. While in the house, he muses incessantly on death before being interrupted by a bee infestation, which forces him to call a fumigation company called "Killo."

Transformative Kommunikation Einführungsworkshop
Der Workshop gibt eine Einführung in Moderations- und Kommunikationsansätze, die bei Occupy Wall Street angewandt und weiterentwickelt wurden. Sie stützen sich kritisch auf die gewaltfreie Kommunikation nach Marshall Rosenberg, erweitern sie um Ansätze von Anti-Oppression Work, strukturelle Analysen gesellschaftlicher Gewalt und eine explizit emanzipatorischen Perspektive. Es geht dabei nicht um Harmonisierung von Gegensätzen, sondern darum, Räume zu gestalten und zu unterstützen, in denen (Selbst-) Verständigungen, Konflikte und Aushandlungsprozesse ausgetragen und produktiv werden können. Der Workshop führt durch Übungen an eigenen Beispielen in die Methoden ein und erforscht gemeinsam Anwendungsmöglichkeiten für eure Praxis.

(Ver-)Handlungen Radikale Moderation bei Occupy Wall Street
Occupy Wall Street ist ein politischer Organisierungsprozess. Es gibt kein klar umrissenes Programm
sondern vielfältige Formen von Diskussionen, Aktionen, Aushandlungs- und Bildungs- und Politisierungsprozessen.
Leute aus verschiedenen persönlichen und sozialen Kontexten haben begonnen von unterschiedlichen Standpunkten aus gemeinsame Perspektiven zu entwickeln.
Für eine solche Praxis ist die Moderation dieser politischen Aushandlungsprozesse und ein produktiver Umgang mit Konflikten entscheidend. Tashy Endres war von September 2011 bis April 2012 als Moderatorin und Konflikttrainerin bei Occupy Wall Street in New York. Sie berichtet über die Situation und Herausforderungen der Bewegung in New York und gibt Einblicke in ihre Arbeit.
Anschließend gibt es Raum um Kritik und Perspektiven zu diskutieren.

THE UNFINISHED FEMINIST REVOLUTION ist eine unabgeschlossene Reihe zu feministischen Kämpfen in Zeiten von Krise und globalisiertem Kapitalismus. Im Blick zurück hat sich die radikal-feministische Einschätzung aus den 1970ern bestätigt. Demnach ist die Integration von Frauen in Lohnarbeit und die Kämpfe darin zur praktischen Notwendigkeit geworden. Daraus ergeben sich aber noch keine politischen Strategien für emanzipative Reproduktionsverhältnisse.

At the same time questioning narratives or any kind of linear biographical construction, these experimental films, documentaries and video art pieces each show a singular perspective on the relation of the individual to a broader social context.
Susan Mogul - Everyday Echo Street (32min, 1993)
Filmed in Susan Mogul’s Los Angeles multi-ethnic working class neighborhood, Highland Park, Everyday Echo Street: A Summer Diary, is an insider’s view of how home and neighborhood are constructed in everyday relations. Composed of conversational and anecdotal portraits of neighbors and merchants, Susan ruminates about the past and the present, as she looks out her apartment window. Struggling to arrive at a new definition of “home,” she ponders loss, middle age, and living alone.
Susan Mogul – Driving Men (1h08min, 2008)
"A few years before I moved to Los Angeles I was in a car accident. My first love was killed in the accident and the accident haunted my life.
Over the last 35 years I have recorded, edited, and ultimately crafted my own life—making avant-garde videos, photographs, performances, video diaries, and feature-length films. I sift through the past and piece it together with the present. I transform the raw material of my life to make sense of my life. I reprocess reality in order and create my own reality.I will be 60-years old on August 15, 2009. And there are times when I try to figure out where I fit in and other times I celebrate the fact that I don’t fit in at all." (Susan Mogul)

At the same time questioning narratives or any kind of linear biographical construction, these experimental films, documentaries and video art pieces each show a singular perspective on the relation of the individual to a broader social context.
George Kuchar - Hold Me While I'm Naked (15min, 1966)
A very direct and subtle, very sad and funny look at nothing more or less than sexual frustration and aloneness. The odd blend of Hollywood glamour and drama with all-too-real life creates and inspires counterpoint of unattainable desire against unbearable actuality.
Alex Bag - Untitled Fall ’95 (57min, 1995)
Bag, at the time an art student, "plays" Bag the art student. In a series of deadpan performances, Bag gathers fragments of pop detritus, fashioning a thoroughly mediated document that is at once a celebration and a record of loss. With the narrative inevitability of a TV serial, the eight diaristic segments trace a woman's struggle to make sense of her experience at art school. As each installment marks the start of a new semester, Bag's character addresses the camera with her latest observations and frustrations.
Interspersed between these confessions are eight set-pieces, in which Bag performs scenes from the background noise of her imagination: a pretentious visiting artist, London shop-girls discussing their punk band, a Ronald MacDonald puppet attempting to pick up a Hello Kitty doll, the singer Bjork explaining how television works. These surreal episodes sketch out what Bag sees as the simultaneous attraction and repulsion of contemporary youth culture, and teeter on the divide between parody and complicity.

Dean Spade, a trans attorney, activist and educator from the US, will be talking about his new book, Normal LIfe: Administrative Violence, Critical Trans Politics and the Limits of Law (South End Press 2011). The book examines the failures of US gay and lesbian rights strategies that have centered law reform campaigns like military inclusion, marriage rights and hate crime laws. Spade proposes that trans politics depart from this path, and suggests a critical trans politics that centers racial and economic justice, grassroots mobilization and horizontal organizing strategies.

Jay Rosenblatt - The Smell of Burning Ants (21min, 1994)
A visually compelling and thought provoking portrait of the cultural and psychological transmission of male identity in young boys. With vivid and penetrating images, this film tries to explore what makes boys simultaneously vulnerable and dangerous.
Su Friedrich - Sink or Swim (48min, 1990)
Through a series of twenty six short stories, Sink or Swim describes the childhood events that shaped a girl's ideas about fatherhood, family relations, work and play. Working in counterpoint to the forceful text are sensual black and white images that depict both the extraordinary and ordinary events of daily life. Together, they create a formally complex and emotionally intense film.

Nicht erst seit gestern
ist Gewalt omnipräsent und zeigt sich als giftgrüner Einheitsbrei:
In einem Topf brodeln Amokläufe, Hooliganismus, politische Gewalt,
Autoraser, die ›Verrohung der Sitten‹, sexuelle Gewalt,
soziale Unruhen und Rangeleien auf dem Pausenhof. Respektive nimmt mit
Gewalt, Angst und Politik - nach Arbeit in Bild, Begriff und Kritik
der zweite Band in der Zeitbuch-Reihe - eine Differenzierung vor und
zeigt, was Gewalt, Angst und Politik miteinander zu tun haben. Stuttgart

Jacques Rancière, Grenzgang von Stephan Thome, Hans Peter Kneubühl,

Das einmal im Jahr erscheinende Zeitbuch Respektive wird von Lukas Germann,
Pablo Müller, Nicole Peter, Herrn R. und Frau T. in Zürich
herausgegeben und widmet sich Themen aus Kultur, Politik und Alltag.
Dabei bietet das Zeitbuch Raum für gedankliche und argumentative
Experimente mit der Perspektive einer Überwindung der bürgerlich-kapitalistischen
Gesellschaft in Zeiten, in denen die Praxis einer solchen Überwindung
weitgehend fehlt.

wenn
der kapitalismus ein mädchen wär
Christiane Ketteler
/ Magnus Klaue: Tiqqun: Grundbausteine einer Theorie des Jungen-Mädchen
Die Rezeption des
Pamphlets „Grundbausteine einer Theorie des Jungen-Mädchens“
folgte in Deutschland auf die Begeisterung für den "Kommenden
Aufstand", der tatsächlich gut ein Jahrzehnt später erschienen
ist. 2009 hat der „philologische Arm“ der Tiqqun-Gruppe
das "Jungen-Mädchen" für Merve übersetzt. Die
Figur des "Jungen-Mädchens" ("Jeune-Fille")
wird darin als Ausdruck einer prototypischen „Lebensform“
des Spätkapitalismus vorgestellt, als ein blind der Affirmation
hingegebenes, androgynes Wesen. Wer oder was ist dieses Jungen-Mädchen?
Weshalb fordert Tiqqun dessen "Zerstörung", und was genau
soll in ihm zerstört werden? Wir werden Tiqquns Angriffe auf das
"Jungen-Mädchen" in den Zusammenhang der Ikonographie
der "Neuen Frau" in den zwanziger Jahren und des damaligen
Amerikanismuskults stellen, in dem die Identifikation der "neuen",
ökonomisch und sexuell selbständigen Frau mit der Ware, dem
Geld oder dem Kapital bereits gängig gewesen ist. Da die „Grundbausteine“
rhapsodisch und fragmentarisch daherkommen, konzentrieren wir uns auf
einige zentrale Thesen, um zu fragen, welche geschlechterpolitischen
Konsequenzen sich daraus ergeben und wie diese zu beurteilen sind.

Thirza Cuthand
Retrospective
Thirza Cuthand started
her video career because she wasn't seeing representations in mainstream
media of her identities and issues.
Since then she has made 15 short videos about sexuality, ageism, madness,
psychiatric abuse, mixed race identity, and a documentary about the
historical roots of her family. Her first tape, Lessons In Baby Dyke
Theory, was made when she was 16 years old and wondering where the other
teenage lesbians were. It became a festival hit and she has since gone
on to screen in places such as Frameline in San Francisco, Mix Brasil
in Sao Paolo, Mix NY, Queer City Cinema in Regina, and Out on Screen
in Vancouver. Her work is in the collections of UCLA, Concordia University,
the National Gallery in Ottawa, and University of Victoria. She has
also written a feature screenplay called Bunnyhug and has kept a blog
since 2004 called Fit of Pique, at www.fitofpique.blogspot.com.
She currently resides in Saskatoon, Canada, with her dog and cat.

"Der Mensch
ist ein Modell, das ständig revidiert wird, angepasst den Bedürfnissen
der Zeit und keine feste Größe. Wer bestimmt also, was gerade
noch ein Mensch ist? CedoxX will mit dieser Öffentlichkeitsoffensive
über die verschiedenen Möglichkeiten des Körpers allgemein
informieren."
In "Bodybuilding"
geht es nicht um muskelbepackte Kerle. Vielmehr ist dies im wörtlichen
Sinne zu verstehen, es geht um das „Bauen“ des menschlichen
Körpers, schließlich auch um dessen Fragmentierung in einzelne
Bausteine.

mit und an den so genannten Kleinen Helfern, die aus einem Lager für
überflüssig gewordene Arbeitskräfte entnommen wurden.
Durch CedoxX sollen sie eine letzte Chance bekommen, sich in den ökonomischen
Verhältnissen wieder zu etablieren.
Wer kann es sich schließlich in Zukunft noch leisten, einer Normierung
und Optimierung des Körpers und seiner Möglichkeiten entgegenzutreten?

Filmreihe:
Sexualität und Familie in Utopia- ein Blick zurück und einer
nach vorn
Die Sehnsucht nach
Utopia war in den meisten historischen kommunitären und kommunistischen
Gemeinschaften mit einer Kritik von patriarchalen familiären Gemeinschaften,
Zwangsmonogamie und autoritärer Unterordnung als Erziehungsprinzip
verknüpft. Stattdessen wurde die befreite Gesellschaft und der
neue Mensch im 19. und 20. Jh. mit freier Sexualität, Befreiung
der Frauen, Wahlverwandtschaften und anderen Formen der Auflösung
von Familie und Geschlechterverhältnissen verbunden. Die Filme
unserer Reihe werfen einen Blick zurück nach vorne, zu den Wunschmaschinen
der Vergangenheit. In diesem Spiegel werden zugleich die queeren und
antinormativen Sehnsüchte der Gegenwart thematisierbar als Struktur
mit neuer Dominante.

Dance
Camp 2010 programme
Dear movers, Boody-Shakers,
Floor-Twisters, Crab-Grab-Dancers, Performance Theorists, Body Experts
(and novices!), Stretching Dogs, Invention Bouncers, Non-dancing Theorists
who sometimes move, and Non-moving Theorists who sometimes dance!
The Second Annual
of Dance Camp has come & we'd like to invite you
to indulge in one week of d.I.y movement experimentation! It will take
place in the third week of August from 14th to 21st, like last year
in the Raumerweiterungshalle. This time we'll be kicking off with an
Opening Event including a lecture presentation and party (with awesome
performances, bands & DJs) on Saturday the 14th!
In the year since
Addressing Movement Dance Camp has throbbed and morphed in varying formations:
technique sessions, vogueing through snow, xing street styles from Single
Ladies to Spongebob to Metalobics and yoga on concrete block. Having
entered the endless bliss of discovering the layered world of street
styles this DanceCamp2010 will be a two-toned medley of intertwining
themes with a call out for participants who are willing to tune into
a collaborative development of our own street style, a street style
of ones own!
...to discover a
mover style in which all the questions that linger since last years
Dance Camp can be bodily spoken (or muscularily mumbled): How do we
move in the multi-layered concepts of urban landscapes? What about everyday
bodily language and work in cultural economy? Where are we in behavioural
spaces? How do we move in daily life? Topping it up with our secondary
theme: An inquisitive look into, and on, couple behaviour and reproduction!
(And we don't just mean babies, O.K.).
Structure-wise we
are un-strictly splitting the daily program into three sessions of experimentation:
Pump (incl. danceobics,
metalobics and video imitation).
Health (incl. body
techniques, shiatsu and yoga stretch).
Street! (over to
our focus project: a collaborative research into street style Lichtenberg-Treptow).
Liz Rosenfeld is
a Berlin based artist utilizing modes of performance through film and
video in order to convey a sense of past and future histories through
moving images. Her current work deals primarily with issues of queer
identity, revisionist history, cruising, transient bodies, pop culture
icons and different kinds of public and private transitional space.
Liz’s work is invested in concepts of how we remember our own
history, as well as how and where we identify ourselves with community.
The linage of traditions such as family portraiture, re-enactment, archiving,
and communal gatherings, are important themes present throughout her
work. She is intent on examining the possibility of more within the
multitude, as opposed to a final end, or what could be called the orgasmic
moment.
Liz’s film,
video and performance work has been shown internationally including
venues such as The Kitchen, The Hammer Museum, The Impakt Organization,
the Victoria & Albert Museum, The Edinburgh Fringe Festival , The
National Museum for Women in the Arts, Chicago Filmmakers, and many
international film festivals. Her new film ‘Frida & Anita,’
is slated to premier at The British Film Institute in November 2010.

MY
SISTER GRENADINE sind zurück, mit allerlei schillernden
Zutaten im Gepäck und erfüllt von wahrhaft fiktiven Geschwistergeschichten,
gemeinsam im Windschatten ihrer frisch gesetzten Sonnensegel reisend,
von orangerot über dunkelbunt nach himmelblau: mal akustisch
verspieltes Trio aus Geige, Ukulele und Glockenspiel, mal loopverdrehte
Soundscapes aus elektrischen Gitarren und Geräuschkulissen -
immer jedoch mit Berührungspunkten, Luftlinien, Detailverliebtheiten,
Licht. So singen sie ihre vielstimmigen Lieder, deren Worte sich Tag
für Tag wie Untertitel durch deine Filmszenen ziehen; allein
& gemeinsam, lustig & traurig, einfach & verflochten,
schief & gerade, absurd & schön, hier & jetzt &
überall da.
COMBINEHARVESTER
ist Marlon Mc Neill: «Ich schreibe alle Songs und spiele meistens
auch alle Instrumente. Ich sehe meine Lieder nicht im Sinne klassischer
Rock-Songs sondern eher als Musik die sich um kleine Gedichte hüllt.
Gedichte, manchmal so kurz dass sie locker als Einzeiler durchgehen
könnten. Es bedarf nicht vieler Worte um zu sagen was gesagt
werden muss. Die Leute würden mich wohl in die Singer/Songwriter
Schublade stecken. Weil ich Singe und Songs schreibe. Das kann treffend
sein, aber genau so gut auch nicht. Alles ist möglich. Ein Song
kann als 15 minütige Drone Eskapade enden, oder als 30 Sekunden
bei-nahe-A Capella Stück. Man kann Combineharvester als Knotenpunkt
aller oder einiger Projekte in die ich involviert bin interpretieren,
oder umgekehrt: die Grundlage und Inspiration verschiedenster musikalischer
Kuriositäten.»
DOOMENFELS
ist Therapie. Ein Mensch, eine akustische Gitarre und ein Hit-Organ
zwischen Pathos, Turnschuhen und Geburtstagskuchen. Zurückgelehnt,
ruhig, fein arrangierte Songs mit dem Händchen für grosse
Momente und zerbrechliche Melodien.

My Body
Is Yours: The Films of Michael V. Smith
My Body Is Yours:
The short films in My Body Is Yours investigate the many faces of
desire, from highly personal confessions to frank sexuality. Intimately
grounded in the human body and grown from the word, Michael V. Smith’s
film work is a candid marriage of his writing to his performance art.
An established Canadian novelist and poet, Smith has been an active
member of the alternative queer cabaret scene in Vancouver, British
Columbia, where he was named one of the city’s Most Dangerous
People and also one of its most influential gay citizens. My Body
Is Yours is a portrait of a writerly genderqueer performance artist
at play.

SURPRISINGLY
PROFESSIONAL – the fundraiser at Raumerweiterungshalle
for the d.i.y feature film project 'Aidan and Gilbert'. The story about
two gay trans men caught in the ups and downs of their testosterone
injected second adolescence between relationships, polyamoury, Berlin's
night life, dates, art, jobs, sex and the fun and trouble those things
can cause.
Get wasted and waste
yourself!
Film description:
Aidan and Gilbert
is a d.i.y feature film project about two gay trans men:
Gilbert is a student,
artist and tranny fag. He enjoys having sex, but he is bored by picking
up other lads at parties or on the internet. His fantasies differ too
much from what he has got from reality so far.
Being physically attracted to older men and to the thought of being
sexually used, Gilbert decides to start working as a hustler.
Aidan is a rather
quiet and withdrawn boy. He searches the web for people to spank him,
father figures and other trans guys to hang out with.
Even though he is quite experienced in being a submissive bdsm bottom,
he is very insecure about his sexuality. He doesn't have sex with his
spanking or role play partners.
Aidan is not attracted to genitals, but he is plagued by curiosity and
unfulfilled gay fantasies.
One night Aidan coincidently
hits Gilbert's internet escort profile. Being disgusted and fascinated
at the same time he has to open the profile over and over again. After
a long time of hesitation he decides to rent Gilbert to try out sex
with another man.
A deep friendship
develops, while they accompany each other throughout the ups and downs
of their testosterone injected second adolescence between relationships,
polyamoury, Berlin's night life, dates, art, jobs, sex and the fun and
trouble those things can cause.

Wir sind eine Gruppe
schreibender, dichtender und performender
Menschen und möchten euch zu unserer ersten Myke & Me Show
einladen!
Inspiriert von der
euch vielleicht schon bekannten Spoken-Word-Bühne
Shut Up and Speak haben wir Lust auf noch mehr Bühne bekommen.
Mehr Auftritte, mehr Texte, mehr Möglichkeiten, mehr Open Mic.
Allerdings - anders als beim Poetry Slam - ohne Wettbewerb.
Diese Bühne ist offen für alle Gender
und für alle, die sich gegenseitig respektieren
und einander Raum lassen,
um sich auszudrücken,
sich zu inszenieren und zu feiern
- mit uns und nicht auf Kosten anderer.
We are a group
of writing and performing folks who'd like to invite you
to our very first Myke & Me show!
Inspired by the
spoken word show Shut Up and Speak, that you might
already know, we wanted more stage! More performances, more words,
more opportunities, more open mic. But - unlike a poetry slam - without
any contest.
This stage is open to all genders
and for all those who respect each other
and give everybody the space
to express, to present
and to celebrate themselves
- with us and not at other people's expense.

CONCERT
We are very happy
to invite you to Les
Cox (Sportifs)-UK- and Samanta
------ the dream gig of the very belated Berlin spring-summer season!
Les Cox (Sportifs)'s
music is like waking up wired on a sunny day, wanting to dance, but
still feeling down from booze and heartbreak. Christo, Chris and Micheal´s
music is both focused and distracted, fast and slow, folk and punk all
at the same time.They are charming kidz, fueled and sweet who mix calm
countryside dreams with city hyperactivity. We’ve been waiting
for them to come to Berlin for a long time!
Samanta make songs
in the most real and simple way, drowning us in melodramatic retro spacial
tunes. Samanta sounds like radio songs from a long time ago. Words in
spanish of broken romance and disillusionment, futuristic melodies mixed
with clumsy and beautiful choreographies on stage. Expect to have your
emotions heightened and awaken!
All Mega Star Disc

/// DOCUMENTATION
ACTIVISM ///
TRANSGENDER
DAY OF REMEMBRANCE by Sean Hennig, 15mins, Berlin 2008 THE LESBIAN AVENGERS EAT FIRE TOO by Su Friedrich,
55mins, New York 1993
two excellent films
that we united under the label of "documentation activism".
A parallel between the films is that both video artist and fiction filmmaker
Sean Hennig (who will be present) and experimental filmmaker Su Friedrich
abandon their established styles of working for the activist pieces.
The focus of this
programme is to highlighten the power of documentation and the visibility
and preservation of political activism emerging from it. While Sean
Hennig depicted the 2008 Transgender Day of Remembrance mainly "to
give a memory to the people who went out into the freezing cold to demonstrate"
as he puts it, what we see is a cruelly touching piece on the ongoing
violence against transgendered people.
In "The Lesbian
Avengers Eat Fire Too" Su Friedrich documents the distinct, original
and empowering forms of protest of the Lesbian Avengers, a direct action
group founded in New York and "focused on issues vital to lesbian
survival and visibility." Apart from protest documentation, Su
Friedrich uses interviews with the members of the group, many of which
are involved in a lesbian activist group for the first time. The film
becomes a very interesting document of both creative activism and the
lives and issues of lesbian women in the early 90's.

performance by Nina
Lassila
In EXPERIMENT 5:10 the audience is asked to follow a simple relaxation
& focusing exercise. They are also asked to bring a picture of
someone (alive) that they have an empathic relationship with.
The effort made by each participant may hopefully lead to a positive
result and who knows, even scientific evidence! The event will be
documented on video.
This experiment
is part of a larger project called EXPERIMENT 1-10. The results of
the experiment will be published later on my webpage.

A retrospective
of subversive small-format performance films by Juli
Saragosa
"Turning the
camera on myself is a strategy I use to subvert the norms of dominant
cinematic discourses and unfix the patriarchal gaze. DIY (do-it-yourself)
is enabled through the simplicity of super8mm as a tool to self-represent
my image and voice. Trickster motifs play "in-between" realms
subtly and viscerally through these intimate and vulnerable portraits."
Lonely Rider is series
of goodbyes, splits and abandonments. An important part of the content
as well as aesthetics are the masks. A mask –like depression –
can be a second skin to its carrier.
The tools of this performance are: an actor, a role,
a mask; a
situation where things are being performed, being looked at, and being
in the centre of attention. A depressed person can be his own centre
of attention. Depression can be a mask. The performance studies depression
as suffering of prevented appeal to death. Lonely Rider grabs at the
issue with grotesque and carnevalistic hands. Marilyn Monroe and Lonesome
Cowboy, for example, are being seen as embodiment of depression.
Lonely Rider is a
part of Todellisuuden Tutkimuskeskus (Reality Research Center) –group’s
performance series titled as “Emotions”. Todellisuuden Tutkimuskeskus
–group is an “arts garage” in Helsinki run by theatre/performace
arts professionals who are devoted to question the prevailing concept
of reality. What is reality? How can we observe, experience, describe,
define, reflect, discuss, present or
represent it? www.todellisuus.fi
Actress Marianne
Ramsay-Sonneck is one of the founders of the Club Real –group. Tuire Tuomisto
is an an actress working in Helsinki contemporary theatre sceens.

Marcio
Miranda Perez - Tauri
(7 min - BRA - 2009)
When did
your very first contact with the male world take place?
Roy Andersson
- World of Glory
(14 min - SWE - 1991) The
central theme of the film is the responsibility of humanity in our time
towards historical events. The film’s examination of “collective
guilt” urges discussion of the guilt concept, but was answered
mostly with strong criticism of its dark scenes and its black portrait
of “modern” Sweden.
John
Smith - Girl Chewing Gum
(12 min - UK - 1967)
In The
Girl Chewing Gum an authoritative voice-over pre-empts the events occurring
in the image, seeming to order not only the people, cars and moving
objects within the screen but also the actual camera movements operated
on the street in view.
Kasumi
Hiraoka - Red-Light District Graffiti
(28 min - JP - 2007)
In a red-light
district in an obscure corner of a city, business is booming. Tired
of pampering their customers night after night, the prostitutes find
amusement in toys they buy at the black-market stall and drawing graffiti
with the patrol man. Towards the end, they begin to speak in a dialect
unique to their district, which others cannot understand.
Visually, the film is a feast for the eyes, capturing the vibrant colours
one might find on a children's playground. The women run through the
streets, dance in brightly decorated garments, and engage in wild activities,
addressing the audience directly with infectious creativity and anarchic
enthusiasm.
Standish
Lawder - Necrology/The Roll Cast of the Dead
(12 min - USA - 1969)
"In
one continuous shot Standish Lawder films the faces of a 5:00 PM crowd
descending via the Pan Am building escalators. In old-fashioned black
and white, these faces stare into the empty space, in the 5:00 PM tiredness
and mechanical impersonality, like faces from the grave. It's hard to
believe that these faces belong to people today. The film is one of
the strongest and grimmest comments upon the contemporary society that
cinema has produced." - Jonas Mekas.
Rita
Macedo - Non-Film in three Acts and a Prelude
(12 min - GER/PT - 2009)
How can
a film be a non-film? What kind of internal struggles make it consciously
rebel against its own name and categories? Has the non-film become so
personified, it looks upon its own form as humans so often do upon their
hopeless humanity?
Shot entirely
in Super8, “Non-film in three acts and a prelude” is an
absurd ride conducted by a bodyless head, two invisible characters counting
stones as bodies, a filmmaker muffled by her own film and two loner
virgin-mary-like creatures.
On Thursday night
we'll screen a programme that puts together various pearls of experimental
film each of them giving different interpretations on the concept of
"house and home". It reaches from an early film by Maya Deren
to more recent works from artists like Corinna Schnitt. For further
information please check out the programme description below.
Maya Deren
- Meshes of the Afternoon (14 min - USA - 1943)
"This
film is concerned with the interior experiences of an individual. It
does not record an event which could be witnessed by other persons.
Rather, it reproduces the way in which the subconscious of an individual
will develop, interpret and elaborate an apparently simple and casual
incident into a critical emotional experience." —Maya Deren
Gunvor Nelson
- My Name is Oona (9 min - USA - 1969)
No film of
hers is at once so dazzling in form or effortless in its lyricism. Be
curious about the amazing avantgarde soundtrack.
John Smith
- Blight (14 min - UK - 1996)
The film revolves
around the building of the M11 Link Road in East London, using images
and sounds of demolition and road building in conjunction with the spoken
words of local residents. Taking these actualities as its starting point,
Blight creates its own enigmatic stories, transforming the mundane into
the mysterious. The musical qualities of the speech fragments and natural
sounds form the basis of the score.
Peter Greenaway
- H is for House (10 min - UK - 1973)
A voice-over
that recites words beginning with the letter ‘H’. Greenaway
plays with the confusing nomenclatures that occur in the process of
ascribing meaning and words to objects, and in a nod to the late paintings
of Surrealist René Magritte, he juxtaposes the words with images
and create a fascinating dialectical relationship between image, sound
and text.
Corinna Schnitt
- The Sleeping Girl (8 min - Germany - 200!)
With one long
shot the camera presents the surrounding of a suburbian colony of single
family houses. A clean ideal, but deserted and with a ghostly atmosphere.
Only at the end of the film there is a sign of human presence: a message
is left on an answering machine. An insurance agent talks about the
possibilities of life- insurance, the perfect pension scheme and his
lost ball-pen.
Matthias
Müller - Alpsee (15 min - Germany - 1994)
Photographed
with an exquisite eye for interiors and a restless invention, ALPSEE
stages a boy’s coming of age, that painful rend between infant
dependency and mature individuation. Nearly wordless, Müller proceeds
by analogy and synecdoche, gathering up precisely framed moments within
the home and collecting them as evidence.

elektronischer Musik? - über die Anfänge elektronischer Musik

öffentliches Seminar des DoktorandInnenkolloquiums der Musikhochschule
Köln
In der 50jährigen
Geschichte des weltweit einflussreichsten Studios für Elektronische
Musik des WDR in Köln hat nicht eine einzige Frau eine elektronische
Musik gemacht. Diese unsägliche Einseitigkeit hat mich zu der Suche
nach Frauen in der Geschichte der elektronischen Musik veranlasst. Im
Seminar möchte ich die europäischen und US-amerikanischen
Orte, an denen ich Frauen in der Männerwelt elektronischen Musikschaffens
aufgefunden habe, vorstellen sowie die Musiken dieser dort Vorgefundenen.
Ich möchte mit den SeminarteilnehmerInnen in den Photoalben der
pionierhaften Studios elektronischer Musik blättern, dazu Musik
anhören und Interviews ansehen, so dass ein erstes Bild entsteht.
Was sind die Gründe für die deutliche männliche Vorrangstellung
in Bezug auf elektronische Musik in den Anfängen dieses elektrifizierten
Musikschaffens? Diese und andere Fragen werden im Seminar zu diskutieren
sein.

SISTER SPIT
ROADSHOW!
Sister Spit, the
awesome lit/spoken word/performance troupe led by celebrated author
Michelle Tea of 'Rent Girl' and 'Without a Net' fame is coming over
to the UK and Europe this September with a whole new line-up of celebrated
queer/grrrl artists, writers, zinesters and performers.
Michelle says: 'I
write books, and host readings for other people who write books, to
be listened to by people who like reading books. My last novel is called
Rose of No Man's Land and is about a teenage genderqueer loner who gets
mixed up with a speed freak mall rat and falls in love. Or something.
My last anthology is called It's So You and it's full of essays by stylish
people about how they came to look so great, such as Eileen Myles, Kim
Gordon, Jenny Shimizu, Kate Bornstein, Ali Liebegott, Tara Jepsen, Beth
Lisick and other modern role models. I run the Radar Reading + Salon
series in San Francisco, and every so often pile a bunch of bitches
in a van and set off across the country under the guise of Sister Spit:
The Next Generation.'
...and the intro
for their tour: 'Sister Spit: The Next Generation is hitting the road
again, with a whole new all-girl lineup of zinesters, fashion plates,
novelists, performance artists, slam poets and fancy scribblers. Inspired
by the legendary Sister Spit Ramblin' Roadshow of the 90s, Sister Spit:
The Next Generation is hauling a vanload of killer underground female
talent across the USA and Europe and into your town. The latest gang
hits the road soon, carrying on the tradition of rowdy, raucous literary
adventure. Come and meet your new favorite performers'
The confirmed line-up
for the UK/Euro tour is as follows:

of three memoirs, a book of poetry, editor of two anthologies and contributor
to dozens has most recently collaborated on an illustrated novel, and
has been working on both a screenplay and a science fiction novel. Her
work is often brutally honest, both about growing up in impoverished
Chelsea, Massachusetts, and in writing about her sexuality in a way
that often gets her labeled "transgressive." She was awarded
a Lambda Literary Award for Best Lesbian Fiction and was co-founder
of the now legendary all-girl poetry roadshow Sister Spit" - www.bookslut.com

Dance Camp 2009/addressing
movement is a series of 9 short workshops run over three days, Sept
9, 10 & 11th
Addressing movement, as analysing tool, a tactical approach for dealing
with the multi-difficulties of moving inside an urban environment and
its flexible choreographies: We’ve invited 5 Berlin- based artists
concerned with movement, performance or dance to run a workshop or movement
segment.
So far our program covers a wide range of movement styles and theories
including: Danceobics | body and structural awareness | life choreography
| style imitation | dance floor mpressions | pastiche | and refusal.
Daily program, running
from 11am to 6pm, includes:
3 workshops, warm-up session, space for discussion & a light lunch.
Workshop program available from next Thursday.
Registration (via email) is appreciated but not necessary.
Participants may join workshop segments individually, however
participation in the program as a whole is encouraged. Participation
is open (no previous dance/movement knowledge required) and free of
charge.
Curated by Hanna
Bergfors, Lydia Hamann & Sarakaka.

our concept brief:
Addressing Movement as analysing tool, a tactical approach for dealing
with the multi-difficulties of moving inside an urban environment and
its flexible choreographies.
In this workshop
we’ll use movement, poses and dance deliberately, consciously
and indulgently! integrating response, bodily work and languages to
perform bodily translations of entangled moving, of new modes of working/collaborating,
with an emphasis of working together,
development, discovery/enjoyment. The analysing everyday movement, the
citations, using plagiarism, re-thinking and modes of palimpsest to
(co)produce unpredictable and erratic exits.
3-day workshop (In
rejection of the constant pressure to produce and perform) as starting
point for a longer project? or maybe a dance troupe; a weekly meeting
of non-professional life choreographers; a rebel aerobics class; or
an interventionist bounce gang.

REGRET EVERYTHING AND ALWAYS LIVE IN THE PAST - THE FILMS/VIDEOS OF NINA
LASSILA ///
Finnish
artist Nina Lassila is visiting us to present her beautiful work that
is based on gender and feminist issues.
In my recent work
I’ve been working with questions of identity – specifically
identity affected by social barriers and conventions based on gender
and upbringing. There is something provocative about a physical woman;
even a loud laughter can provoke some people. There is a prevailing
notion that a loud physical woman is somehow deranged, out of control.

PAPER
DOLLS R: Tomer Heymann, Israel/Schweiz 2006
Nach Beginn der zweiten Intifada schloss Israel seine Grenzen für
Arbeiter_innen aus den palästinensischen Gebieten, diese arbeiteten
vorranging in der Care Ökonomie. Weiterhin auf Arbeiter_innen für
diese Bereiche angewiesen, wurden Anreize zur Migration geschaffen.
U.a. kamen phillippinische Transsexuelle. Sie pflegen orthodoxe jüdische
Männer und einmal in der Woche treten sie als Drag-Queens in Tel
Aviv auf.

///
ON THE TOPIC OF HIV ///
a
programme of 4 short/medium length films that all deal with the topic
of HIV. We hope you can join us to watch the following rarities.
Kurt Raab's (who many might know as a long-year-collaborator of R.W.
Fassbinder) requiem "Yearning for Sodom", a sad and intense
piece, gives us an intimate insight over experiencing and dealing with
an "AIDS outlaw status" in the 80's.
Canadian filmmaker Mike Hoolboom's first-person Super 8 films "Letters
from Home" and "Passing on" approach HIV related questions
in an amalgam of poetry and HIV positive activists' voices from the
80's and 90's.
Matthias Müller's "Pensão Globo" is based on Hoolboom's
diary notes. A beautifully shot Super 8 fiction depicts a man's journey
to Lisbon in order to die there. In double-exposed pictures we find
the inner view of a person who doesn't see himself in the mirror anymore
but the disease.

NEON
RENDEZVOUS LONDON
London filmmaker
and poet Julian Hand will come to visit us and present his poetic Super
8 films!
He also prepared a wonderful performance for us: Based on his archive
of neon signs he filmed in London Julian wrote a long poem that he will
recite while the the neon lettres are bashing against the screen.
His work revokes names like Derek Jarman and is a sensitive mix of a
mesmerizing imagery and poetic preciseness in words.
The rest of
the programme will feature some of my all-time-favourites and lead us
from early found footage experiments over sound based collage film to
more recent extraordinary examples of poetic first person film.
Filmmaker Per
Olaf Schmidt will also be present.

CORPO REALITIES curated by Alex Gerbaulet
ARTSIE
FARTSIE BIRDIE PARTY
Per Olaf Schmidt, DE 2005, 3 Min.
Upside down, the camera almost touching the lawn I was trying to come
up with the motivation keeping a man endlessly brooming in front of
the Bremen art museum. At the same time, I did not want to steal his
image, although it seemed extraordinary. After the super8 film had run
through the camera I simply asked him. "You have to be doing something",
was his answer, lacking any motivation but the action itself. This video
is my burning intent to establish a poetic order in the everyday occurance.
SCHON
NACHMITTAG / ALREADY AFTERNOON
Alex Gerbaulet, DE 2009, 13 Min.
A life on the outskirts of Braunschweig between dream and reality, highway
and front yard. „In Alex Gerbaulets films our geographies of home,
become visible as closed institutions, which are based on exclusion.
The artificial enclosures are also metaphors for our consciousness.
They provide information about the personally and collectively repressed.“
(K.Sykora)
SAUTE
MA VILLE / BLOW UP MY TOWN
Chantal Akerman, BE 1968, 13 Min.
Chantal Akerman's first film prefigures the most progressive aspects
of her later work. She plays a young woman who finds a new solution
to the problem of housework. The whimsical nature of the story is rendered
serious by the quality of the claustrophobic framing and the oblique
camera angles.
She is a Belgian Jewish film director and artist. Her grand-parents
and her mother were sent to Auschwitz, but only her mother came back.
This is a very important factor in her personal experience and her mother's
anxiety is a recurrent theme in her filmography. Renowned for a "hyperrealist"
style, Akerman's work seeks to inscribe the "images between the
images."
SCHLAFENDE
HUNDE / SLEEPING DOGS
Gunter Deller, DE 2007, 7 Min.
High Noon in Athens: In the big heat stray dogs are sleeping in the
shadow of the shopping malls. Sometimes their sleep is nervous. Poetic
montage-film about urban life and the use of mobile communication.
ENLIGT
LAG / ACCORDING TO LAW
Peter Weiss, Hans Nordenström, SE 1957, 19 Min.
Enligt Lag is the most dense and striking documentary film of Peter
Weiss. The film portrays the life and daily routine of inmates in a
youth prison in Uppsala: their work in the garden or in the metal workshop,
the distribution of the meals, the walls of the cells full of pictures
of naked women, the visit from the women of a charitable organization.
In the middle of it, the watchmen that mechanically lock and unlock
the doors. The agreement with the prison authorities to not show the
faces of the inmates furthermore enhances the subjugation and deprivation
of human dignity through punishment, as the inmates are turned into
an anonymous mass in the film. Just at the beginning and at the end,
in a metaphorical scene, one inmate stands out in his hopeless attempt
to escape. Weiss and Nordenström's only commentary beyond the subtle
montage of images and original sounds is placed at the very end in form
of a quote by Henry Miller: "Justice without love is revenge."
GEFANGENENBILDER
/ TATTOOED PRISONERS
Alex Gerbaulet, Mirko Winkel, Sebastian Neubauer, DE 2007, 14 Min.
The film deals with the political expression of tattooing by an example
of a model project in the youth prison Neustrelitz/east-Germany, which
allows young offenders, to cover up their unconstitutional symbols.
It’s also about the tension between tattoos as an expression of
the individual and as part of a language of power, which is also the
power of pictures and access to the body.
AUS DER
FERNE – THE MEMO BOOK
Matthias Müller, DE 1989, 28 Min.
“In the various hand-processed treatments undertaken on its image,
AUS DER FERNE – THE MEMO BOOK displays an emphatic tension between
the aesthetic expression of ephemeral states, like dreamwork and memory,
and the stark reminder of the film’s materiality. By emphasizing
the materiality of the film, Müller sets up one of its most striking
metaphors — the film as body.“ (Roger Hallas)

Es wird u.a. die Sozialwissenschaftlerin Beate Selders, basierend auf ihrem Report ›Keine Bewegung! Die Residenzpflicht für Flüchtlinge — Bestandsaufnahme und Kritik‹, über die Entstehungsgeschichte der Residenzpflicht, über Behördenpraxis, Polizeikontrollen, Strafen und die Verhandlungen vor dem Bundesverfassungsgericht und dem Europäischen Gerichtshof für Menschenrechte informieren.
Vertreter der FIB (Flüchtlingsinitiative Brandenburg) berichten über ihre Erfahrungen eines Lebens in "parzellierten Räumen". Breiten Raum wird die Diskussion über Interventionsmöglichkeiten einnehmen.

Informationsveranstaltung zum Gutscheinsystem in Hennigsdorf mit u.r.i.(United against Racism and Isolation) und zu den monatlich stattfindenden antirassistischen Einkäufen.
medibüro Berlin Krank und ohne Papiere?!
Das Büro für medizinische Flüchtlingshilfe (www.medibuero.de) berichtet über die medizinische Versorgung illegalisierter Flüchtlinge und
Migranten_innen in Berlin und lädt zur Diskussion ein. Weshalb sind
Menschen ohne Papiere von der Gesundheitsversorgung ausgeschlossen?
Welche praktischen und politischen Antworten gibt es darauf?
Das Medibüro existiert seit 1996 als selbst-organisiertes,
nicht-staatliches Projekt und vermittelt Menschen ohne Aufenthaltsstatus
und ohne Krankenversicherung eine anonyme und kostenlose Behandlung
durch medizinisches Fachpersonal. In der politischen Arbeit strebt das
Medibüro seine Selbstauflösung an.
Sick and without papers?!
The office for medical assistance for refugees (Buero fuer medizinische Fluechtlingshilfe, www.medibuero.de) reports on the medical supply for
undocumented refugees and migrants in Berlin and invites to discussions.
Why are undocumented migrants exculded from the regular health system? What practical and political responses are there?
The Medibüro exists since 1996 as a self-organised and non-governmental
organisation and arranges treatments provided by qualified health care professionals for people without residence permit status and without health insurance - anonymous and free of charge. The aim of the political action of the Medibüro is its own liquidation.

and discussion with Enrico Montalbano
›A Lighthouse for Lampedusa!‹
Jahr für Jahr versuchen etwa 20 000 zumeist afrikanische Migranten über die italienische Insel Lampedusa nach Europa zu kommen. 2008 stieg die Zahl laut italienischem Innenministerium sogar auf über 35 000. Tausende ertrinken - Hilfsorganisationen schätzen, dass annähernd jeder Zehnte bei der gefährlichen Überfahrt stirbt. In Zusammenarbeit mit Architekten, Ingenieuren und Ortsansässigen will Thomas Kilpper auf Lampedusa einen Leuchtturm mit angegliedertem Kulturzentrum errichten.
Ein Leuchtturm mit einem maximalen Lichtstrahl könnte entscheidende Orientierung auf See geben und Lebensgefahr verringern. Er signalisiert den Flüchtlingen auch: „Hier sind wir, wir verstecken uns nicht.“ Für die Menschen auf Lampedusa soll der Turm Raum bieten für Begegnungen und Gespräche, Ausstellungen, Konzerte und andere kulturelle Veranstaltungen.

›Forst‹ ist ein Portrait. Der Dokumentarfilm erzählt von einem Wald, der inmitten Europas jenseits von Urbanität und Zivilisation eine eigenartige Gemeinschaft von Verbannten beherbergt – eine gestrandete Welt. Eine diffuse aber doch totale Kontrolle sorgt sich darum, dass sie nicht hervordrängt, dass sie nicht in unserer Wirklichkeit auftaucht und dort ihr Unwesen treibt. In Forst verkünden die Verbannten ihre eigene Wahrheit und erzählen die Geschichte ihrer Emanzipation. Denn langsam entsinnen sie sich ihrer Identität als politische Flüchtlinge und beginnen Befreiungspläne zu schmieden... Der auf 16mm-S/W-Material gedrehte Film ist in Zusammenarbeit mit den Flüchtlingen entstanden, die sich großteils selbst spielen. Mittels montierter Interviewpassagen erzählen sie die Geschichte ihrer Ohnmacht und ihrer Ermächtigung. Mehr Information / more information: http://www.forstfilm.com
Danach zeigen wir eine fünfmitünige Szene aus der Filmdokumentation von ›Revolutionärinnen des Alltags‹, einem 2007 realisierten Theaterprojekt von Maike Lex und Konstanze Schmitt, in dem Sherifa ihre Geschichte als Flüchtling in Deutschland erzählt.
CD-Presentation: Nur Freiheit. In Deutschland, Frankreich und anderen europäischen Ländern erleben MigrantInnen die gleiche Situation: Ausgrenzung, Diskriminierung, Kriminalisierung gehören zu ihrem Alltag. Die Situation von Flüchtlingen ist noch dramatischer, da ihnen jegliche Perspektive auf ein menschenwürdiges Leben verschlossen bleibt. Mit dieser CD brechen Flüchtlinge das Schweigen und tragen ihre eigenen Erfahrungen an die Öffentlichkeit. ›Nur Freiheit‹ von ›The Most Wanted and Vickson‹ heißt die aktuell erschienene CD mit acht Songs. Themen dieser CD sind u.a. die Residenzpflicht, das Schicksal von in Flüchtlingsheimen geborenen Kindern, rassistische Übergriffe und Fragen der Integration.
Die Flüchtlingsinitiative Berlin/Brandenburg (FIB) will mit dieser CD ein hörbares Zeichen setzen, dass Flüchtlinge sich nicht länger in den Schatten der Gesellschaft drängen lassen. Wir senden damit unsere Botschaft gegen Rassismus und kämpfen weiter für die Verbesserung unserer Lebensbedingungen.

›Rien ne vaut que la vie,mais la vie même vaut rien‹
D 2002/2003, Regie: Moise Merlin Mabouna und Brigitta Kuster
anschließend Diskussion mit Moise Merlin Mabouna
Der Film ›Rien ne vaut que la vie, mais la vie même vaut rien‹ (übersetzt: ›Das Leben ist nichts, aber nichts ist wie das Leben ‹, schildert das Leben in einer Flüchtlingsunterkunft bei Zerbst in Sachsen Anhalt.
Im Anschluss an den Film diskutieren wir mit Moise Merlin Mabouna.
Für Flüchtlinge im Asylverfahren oder mit Status der Duldung existieren in Deutschland an alltäglichen Orten unsichtbare Grenzen. Sie dürfen sich z.B. aufgrund der sogenannten "Residenzpflicht" nur innerhalb eines ihnen zugewiesenen Bereiches bewegen. Gleichzeitig werden sie verpflichtet, in Flüchtlingsheimen und -lagern oft am Rande oder außerhalb von Siedlungsgebieten zu wohnen.
Gutscheinsysteme statt Bargeldleistungen, aber auch Personenkontrollen von als "fremd" wahrgenommenen Menschen an Bahnhöfen und in Zügen führen zur Markierung von Flüchtlingen und tragen zur gesellschaftlichen Isolation bei.
Die Ausstellung ›Residenzpflicht — Invisible Borders‹ dokumentiert anhand von Modellen, Plänen, Texten, Fotografien und einem kurzen Film die dabei produzierte Geografie mehrfacher Einsperrung und Ausgrenzung, die durch sie verursachte Raumwahrnehmung aber auch Strategien des Widerstands.
Die Ausstellung ist geöffnet vom 18. Juni bis 5. Juli 2009.
Montags bis Freitags 14 - 20 Uhr, samstags und sonntags 12 - 20 Uhr
Refugees, while they are either in the asylum process or live in Germany with a so-called 'Duldung', are facing invisible borders in their everyday life. For example they are only allowed to move within a certain area due to the 'Residenzpflicht' ('duty of residence'). At the same time they are forced to live in refugee homes or camps, that are often at the edge or outside of regular settlement areas.
Voucher systems instead of cash benefits, but also police controls in train stations and trains targeting people who look 'foreign', stigmatise refugees and intensify their social isolation. Utilising models, plans, texts, photographs and a short film the exhibition ›Residenzpflicht — Invisible Borders‹ documents the resulting geography of multiple inclusion and exclusion, its impact on the perception of space, but also strategies of resistance.
The Exhibition is open from 18 June until 5 July 2009.

This week we focused on Finish artist Nina Lassila's work who will come to the Raumerweiterungshalle
for a full retrospective later this year. For now we watched two of
her filmsinstallation loops - Beat It! and Girl - together with a series
of films by artists such as Maya Deren, Martha Rosler, Corinna Schnitt,
Helke Sander, Matthias Müller and Jesper Just. All of them reflect
on gender roles from different angles while still touching other topics.
In my recent
work I’ve been working with questions of identity – specifically
identity affected by social barriers and conventions based on gender
and upbringing. There is something provocative about a physical woman;
even a loud laughter can provoke some people. There is a prevailing
notion that a loud physical woman is somehow deranged, out of control. (Nina Lassila)
**PROGRAMME**
GIRL by Nina
Lassila
1.15 min - 2007 - Sweden
A girl lying on the living room carpet.
PIISKAA!BEAT
IT! by Nina Lassila
1.13 min - 2005 - Finland
In Piiskaa! Beat it! we see a woman cleaning a carpet. Though clearly
she is beating the carpet up...is she angry and why
AT LAND by Maya
Deren
15 min - 1944 - USA
In this film Deren is a creature from the sea crawling into cramped,
claustrophobic society, her mermaid-out-of-water slithering among well-dressed
city types going about their business, looking through her nymph-self
without noticing. As in a spooky nightmare.
VÖLLEREI
FÜTTERNGLUTTONY by Helke Sander
13 min - 1986 - Germany
The film reverses the idea of gluttony, namely the compulsion to feed.
In Sander's reinterpretation of the biblical Fall of Man Eva chases
Adam.
SEMIOTICS OF
THE KITCHEN by Martha Rosler
6 min - 1975 - USA
From A to Z, Rosler shows and tells the ingredients of the housewife's
day, giving us a tour that names and mimics the ordinary with movements
more samurai than suburban.
HOME STORIES
by Matthias Müller
6 min - 1991 - Germany
She screams. She falls silent. The expectation of terror makes her terror.
But what she faces is nothing but the observer's view. She is the observed.
Cliches of melodrama unite into a drama of stereotypes. The brillian
montage of cases in point reveals the mechanism of voyeurism in film.
RAUS AUS SEINEN
KLEIDERNOUT OF YOUR CLOTHES by Corinna Schnitt
8 min - 1999 - Germany
The film focuses on rituals of middle-class existence. A young woman
stands on the balcony of her flat and shakes out a sweater for several
minutes. Schnitt uses the audio track to comment on the woman's somewhat
neurotic behaviour.
A VICIOUS UNDERTOW
by Jesper Just
10 min - 2007 - Denmark
Jesper Just seeks to emphasise the absurdity of gender roles and the
way in which cultures generate them. He presents charged relationships
that could be perceived as anormal and endows them with beauty and dignity

THE PERFECT HUMAN by Jörgen Leth
13 minutes - denmark 1967
This film shows a man and a woman, both labelled 'the perfect human' in a detached manner, functioning in a white boundless room, as though they were subjects in a zoo.
FEST DER LIEBE by Tom Weller
8 minutes - germany 2005
"Fest der Liebe" is a provicative copy of Leni Riefenstahl's "Fest der Schönheit". Is there an eros beyond normativity?
BOYZ LIKE US by Tom Weller
15 minutes - germany 2007
From a queer point of view "Boyz like Us" depicts the concept of performative identity in military structures. Inevitably its protagonist gets caught up in gender trouble.
BLISS AND HEAVEN by Jesper Just
8 minutes - denmark 2004
"Bliss and Heaven" draws on the visual language and high production values of cinema, to depict a charged encounter between two men.
REPRODUKTION by Vika Kirchenbauer
10 minutes - germany 2008
Society carries fear-driven values and conventions from one generation to the next and the most essential question seems to be: a boy or a girl?

warum eine filmreihe

des geschlechter-verhältnisses immer auch im verhältnis zu
generativer reproduktion als anforderung und selbstentwurf entwickelt.
wir wollen deshalb eher abweichung/auseinandersetzung/zurück-weisung
des anspruches von diesem regulativen ideal zeigen.
keine sorge: es geht um mehr als beruf und kinderwunsch miteinander
zu vereinbaren. wir werden einen oder mehrere blicke auf die vielfältigen
wünsche und projektionen von mütterlichkeit, sowie dem bedürfnis
sich des staatlichen biopolitischen imperativs zu entziehen riskieren,
die bitte nicht als individuell privates lebensprogramm interpretiert,
sondern gerne als materialsammlung für eine auseinandersetzung
mit kapitalismus, geschlechterverhältnis und reproduktion verstanden

"SUCH A

Regie
/ Director: Mira Habibi
BRD / Germany 2007

Farsi/meUT
Farsi/with English subtitles
"..we must hide
our lights in dark closets.", Ahmad Shamloo wrote this line in
July 1979 as part of a poem from which the film title was taken. During
the revolution in Iran all protagonists of the film were involved with
feminist and left wing politics. After the prohibition of many political
opposition groups they were forced to keep their gatherings secret and
continue working underground. In the 80s during the brutal cleanup by
the Islamists all of them fled to West-Berlin. The director Mira Habibi
builds a non-historical film narrative, she follows fragmentary lines.
The interviewees talk about their idea of political work, the revolution,
sexuality or migration.
"..we must hide
our lights in dark closets.", schrieb Ahmad Shamloo bereits im
Juli 1979, aus dessen Gedicht der Filmtitel entnommen wurde. Die Protagonistinnen
des Films waren während der Revolution im Iran in der feministischen
und linken Szene politisch aktiv. Mit dem Verbot vieler politischer
Oppositionsgruppen mussten sie, um ihre Zusammenkünfte geheim zu
halten, im Untergrund arbeiten. Sie flohen Anfang der 80er Jahre im
Zuge der brutalen islamischen Säuberungsaktionen nach West-Berlin.
Die Regisseurin Mira Habibi, baut ihre Filmdramaturgie nicht historisch-linear
auf, sondern
folgt fragmentarischen Erzählsträngen, in denen die Interviewten
über ihr Verhältnis zu politischer Arbeit, Revolution, Sexualität
oder Flucht sprechen.

Workshop:
Gewaltfreie Kommunikation
Gewaltfreie Kommunikation ist sowohl eine Haltung als auch eine konkrete
Methode, die nach Wegen sucht Austausch und Verbindung möglich zu
machen – im Konflikt wie im Alltäglichen, im Selbstgespräch,
im Sozialen, im Politischen... Sie wurde von dem Psychologen und Aktivisten
Marshall Rosenberg entwickelt und wird weltweit in sehr verschiedenen
Kontexten eingesetzt. Ich habe sie sowohl mit einem eher persönlich/zwischenmenschlichen
Fokus in einer Frauengruppe, als auch in einem stark politischen Kontext
in einem Projekt mit Israelis, Palästinensern und Deutschen gelernt
und bin sehr beeindruckt und überzeugt von ihrer Wirkmacht... ich
würde Euch gerne „anfixen“ und zu einem zweitägigen
Workshop einladen.

Informelle
Universität in Gründung - Kolloquium:
Was will Jacques Rancière eigentlich von Schiller?
Schillers
"Briefe über die ästhetische Erziehung des Menschen"
(1795) sind ein wichtiger Bezugstext für die ästhetisch-politische
Theorie Rancières. Die Figur des "ästhetischen Zustands"
ist geradezu zentral für deren anarchische Wirkungen.
Schiller seinerseits anthropologisierte die Theorie des Geschmacksurteils
der "Kritik der Urteilskraft" (Kant 1790), die prägend
für den von Anfang an auch politischen bzw. hegemonietheoretisch
(Eagleton) relevanten Diskurs der philosophischen Ästhetik war.
Und was hat es mit den Seitenhieben auf sich, die Rancière immerfort
gegen Bourdieu austeilt? Dieser nämlich meinte in seiner "Kritik
der gesellschaftlichen Urteilskraft" (1979), das vermeintlich "interesselose
Wohlgefallen" am Schönen (Kant) bedeute die "Leugnung
des Sozialen" par excellence.

Der ethnologische Blick auf Afrika
Gibt es so etwas wie einen „ethnologischen Blick“ auf Afrika?
Ausgehend vom Phänomen der so genannten „Völkerschau“
soll zunächst, in einer Rekonstruktion seiner historischen Entstehungsbedingungen,
der ethnologische Blick als ein Konglomerat von Interpretationsmöglichkeiten
und Beobachtungstechniken herausgearbeitet werden. Zu fragen wird weiterhin
sein, ob und wenn ja: wie sich wesentliche Topoi eines solchen Blicks
auch in sich als reflexiv verstehenden ethnologischen Filmen der 1950er
bis 80er Jahre durchgehalten haben. Im Seminar sind Einsprüche, Ergänzungen
und gegenwartsrelevante Diskussionen vorgesehen.

EuroMaydayWeek
Eine Woche voller Diskussionen, Workshops, Filme, Party und Vokü.
Am 1.Mai 2004 zelebrierten 200000 Menschen in Mailand und Barcelona den
ersten EuroMayDay in Europa. Eine farbige Parade, die unter den Bedingungen
der Prekarisierung einen Raum der Subjektivität, Kommunikation und
politischen Artikulation öffnet. 2005 findet nun auch der EuroMayDay
in Hamburg statt. Natürlich sollen diese Ereignisse auch an Berlin
nicht völlig spurlos vorübergehen.
Die maydayweek soll für den EuroMayDay in Hamburg und überall
mobilisieren, den Prekarisierungsdiskurs vertiefen und verbreiten, der
neoliberalen Prekarisierung von Leben und Arbeit mit vielfältigem
und kollektivem Widerstand begegnen, Raum für Kreativität und
Aktivismus bieten und in Berlin neue Prozesse linker Vernetzung anstoßen.
