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.

This event is free of charge.

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.

the event is free of charge

Pfauenkreativurlaub - What is this about?

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

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.

die Teilnahme ist kostenlos

Pfauenkreativurlaub - Worum geht es?

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.

YIKES ITS ALL TOO MUCH ❤️🔥
Bingo session with extreme f🍑gottry, kinky prices and bailebailebaile.
welcoming to Berlin for the first time @pinkpoundsound who will be enlighting us with fine tackyness prensting her new album.
Bring your energy and your meanest self

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.
