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.

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.

Workshop hosted by natal igor dobkin*

A queer performance workshop, over four meetings, for performers and non performers. We will give room for creativity, temptation, connection, and everything outside of the capitalistic realm of providing and creating material for success and product.

WE WILL DO OUR BEST FOR OURSELVES AND IT MIGHT COME OUT BORING, EXCITING, FUN, HARD, BIZARRE, RADICAL...

In every session we'll play with words, with sound, and we will work with the body. The last hour of every meeting will be open for showings and attempts of short performance works.

We will do a performance event as part of Raumerweiterungshalle's end-of-summer party on the 5th of October. Whoever wants to take part is welcome to share a performance at the event.

The workshop is free, donations are welcome.

In order to take part you need to commit to all four meetings.
Spots are limited.

Toolbox / Building Day

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).

Kommt zahlreich und diskutiert mit!

Der Raum ist größtenteils barrierefrei zugänglich. Nähere Infos hierzu sowie eine Wegbeschreibung findest du hier: http://www.jackie-inhalt.net/reh/kontakt2.html

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.

Uter Project Storytelling
with Tonina Matamalas


excerpt from Uter Project Drawing

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.

+ info : https://projecteuter.wordpress.com/

 

doors at 19h, storytelling at 20h
there will be food to share

Tonina Matamalas will spend the week from August 19th in residency at Raumerweiterungshalle together with Irene Bailo.

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.

https://youtu.be/MZoh9YgRsUk
http://obscurofichario.com.br/obras/teta-lirica/

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.

https://youtu.be/MZoh9YgRsUk
http://obscurofichario.com.br/obras/teta-lirica/

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.

Let's shake tits together!

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.

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.

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**

To sign up, send an email with a line about yourself to - switchworkshops@gmail.com - you will then receive further instructions for application.

SWITCH is a workshop series that aims to centralize (not exclusively) and empower queers, people of color, gender non-conforming folks and women 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.

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

¡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.

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

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.
