Our resident Airi Triisberg organises a conversation about antiracist feminism within the framework of the Tallinn Feminist Forum this Saturday, 2 November in Tallinn, Estonia!

The Tallinn Feminist Forum (TALFF) is a meeting place for those who care about women’s and minorities’ rights in Estonia and in neighbouring countries. At the Forum, it will be discussed how to create a sustainable and caring social movement and build the society we ourselves want to live in. The topic of TALFF 2019 is “Movement”, because faced with right-wing extremist politics and authoritarianism in Eastern Europe, right now the importance of feminist community movements and joint resistance has never been greater.

If you are in Prague this week, make sure to check out Felipe Castelblanco's (@felipecastel) exhibition "Driftless" at the International Festival of Contemporary Art! "Dirftless" explores notions of nationhood as a form of contemporary confinement, while embracing on the ocean as a public site for artistic interventions. In this artist film, a performer travels across large bodies of water and through several countries, while drifting away in a precarious raft that references makeshift strategies for border crossing. This fictional journey creates a visual narrative, which borrows from migration stories and radical seafaring. This video-performance embraces the ocean as a public site for artistic interventions, using makeshift strategies for border crossing. A fictional journey on a precarious raft creates a visual narrative, which borrows from recent migration stories and radical seafaring.

Over the next couple of weeks, we will be posting updates about current projects our Residents 2019/20 are working on.

Let‘s start with Fadwa Naamna (@fadwa_naamna): She recently curated the exhibition 'Objects vs. Things' at the Kunsthal Extra City in Antwerp. Artists Valentin Cernat, Pierre Coric, Lola Daels, Maxim Ryckaerts and Eva van Tongeren explore the artistic processes by which material inspirations are turned into elements that tell a story or elicit questions. This exhibition is part of STRT Kit, an international platform supporting emerging visual artists based in Antwerp.

If you are in the area, make sure to check it out, the exhibition is open until Sunday, 6th October 2019.

Yesterday @schwobhaus: Katharina Morawek on „Urban Citizenship“

#sommerakademiepaulklee #speaker2019 #statecraft #katharinamorawek #urbancitizenship #zurich #democracy #tirdadzolghadr #switzerland #bern #schwobhaus

The Sommerakademie Paul Klee 2019 is slowly coming to an end! Please join us for our last public event tomorrow 17 August at 4 p.m. @schwobhaus (Falkenhöheweg 15) in Bern and have a drink with us afterwards in the garden of the Schwobhaus! "Urban Citizenship" - Katharina Morawek in conversation with Tirdad Zolghadr:
Over the period of 2015-2016, the Shedhalle Zürich hosted "Die ganze Welt in Zürich“ (The Whole World in Zurich). The project successfully anchored Urban Citizenship debates within a Swiss context – even as it approached the topic through the political agency of art specifically. "Die ganze Welt in Zürich" not only reached a broad audience via a publication and a show. It aimed for a concrete intervention within Swiss migration policy, and to marking discrimination debates within Switzerland in long-lasting fashion.

We have two more public events coming up!
The next one takes place this Thursday, 15 August at 3 p.m. @hkb_bfh (Fellerstrasse 11):
"Story" - Christopher Roth in conversation with Tirdad Zolghadr.

On the benefits of storytelling, myths and imagination, all without the need for any heroes in particular. This with the help of Hyperstition, and of Brecht’s Alienation Effect. But also of Kafka’s last piece, Josephine Singer or the Mouse Folk: "When we are in a bad way politically or economically, her singing is supposed to save us, nothing less than that, and if it does not drive away the evil, at least gives us the strength to bear it."
