with Nuray Demir (artist, curator) / District * School Without Center

in German


The Club of Im_Possibilities is a space of assembly and reflection at the end of the symposium – being guest and at the same time host of sharing / learning possibilities of (self-)care are tested. All participants are invited to stay, to discuss and to drink Çay together. Finally, in the performance The Alphabet of Fame an alphabet of resistance and empowerment is written, an alternative canon rewritten, which is inscribed in the walls of Malzfabrik and with the help of the guests into the collective consciousness.
