TISSUES / Collective Action – Workshop
HIER & JETZT: Connections invites to TISSUES - Collective Action, Social Experiment with artist Juan Camilo Alfonso
If you could choose a color for each bond that unites you with someone else, which color would that be? What texture would it have? How heavy would it be?
Juan Camilo Alfonso will guide participants through TISSUES, where they will explore the materiality of these bonds, giving them a physical dimension and order through play- using the body as a pillar to connect those bonds creating a field full of them. The action will make evident how these connections build the structures and determine the range of movement of a group on a personal and societal level.
Can we learn how to function as a whole interconnected social-being through art?
Juan Camilo Alfonso is a colombian born artist, focusing on Public Art and participatory projects. He recently finished his master studies “Art in Context” at the University of the Arts Berlin – UDK, and now works as an art teacher in Berlin and Bernau.Feel free to join us the Saturday 17th of October from 2.00 to 5.00 pm at B.L.O Ateliers, Kaskelstraße 55, 10317 Berlin.

HIER&JETZT: Connections // Vortrag von PHILIP RIZK
Vortrag von PHILIP RIZK (auf english) Freitag 7. August, um 17 Uhr in der Kantine des B.L.O. ATELIERS.
Philip Rizk ist ein zwischen Kairo und Berlin lebender Filmemacher und Mitglied des Mosireen-Videokollektivs hinter dem Archiv 858.ma. Im Sommer 2016 versammelten sich einige Mitglieder des Mosireen-Kollektivs nach Jahren der Inaktivität und öffneten das Chaos eines Video-Archivs, welches hauptsächlich aus eigenem Fillmmaterial bestand, aber auch aus anderen Beiträgen im Verlauf von drei Jahren der ägyptischen Revolution, und das einmal das 858.ma werden sollte. Kollektive sind kompliziert. In Zeiten der Revolte neigten wir angesichts der Dringlichkeit des Kampfes und der Intensität der Zusammenarbeit dazu, uns zu vereinen, selbst wenn Unterschiede bestanden - zu sehr mit der Realität der Gegenwart beschäftigt, um uns von diesen Unterschieden zerreißen zu lassen. Heute, in einer Zeit, in der der Kampf abgeschwächt ist, haben wir die Nähe einer kontinuierlichen Zusammenarbeit verloren, und die Unterschiede treten auf. Ich möchte einige der Diskussionen offenlegen, die sich hinter der sauberen Oberfläche des Archivs 858 verbergen, weil ich denke, dass Kämpfe konstruktiv sein können und diese Unterschiede wichtig sind, um daraus zu lernen. Archivierung ist ebenfalls kompliziert. Hinter jeder Kategorie, jeder Benennung, der Verwendung von Sprache, Titel, Datum steht eine Entscheidung, die in ihrer endgültigen Form einfach zu sein scheint. Jede dieser Entscheidungen ist eine Entscheidung, am Machtspiel teilzunehmen. - Philip Rizk Um die geeigneten Maßnahmen gegen die Ausbreitung des COVID-Virus zu ergreifen, müssen Besucher*innen in den Innenräumen von B.L.O. eine Maske tragen. Bitte vergessen Sie nicht, einen mitzubringen.Lecture by PHILIP RIZK, Friday, August 7th at 5pm at the Kantine of B.L.O. ATELIERS. Philip Rizk is a filmmaker living between Cairo and Berlin and was a member of the Mosireen video collective behind the archive 858.ma.
'In the summer of 2016, some members of the Mosireen collective gathered after years of inactivity and opened up the mess of an archive we had mainly filmed but also gathered from others over the course of three years of the Egyptian revolution that would become 858.ma. Collectives are complicated. In times of revolt, the urgency of the struggle and the intensity of working together tended to unite us even when differences existed, too occupied with the reality of things to let these differences tear us apart. Today, in a period where the struggle is at an ebb, we've lost the closeness of continuous collaboration, and the differences emerge. I want to lay bare some of the discussions hidden behind the clean interface of the archive 858 because I think fights can be constructive, and these differences are important to learn from. The act of archiving is also complicated. Behind every category, every naming, the use of language, title, date, lies a decision which appears to have been simple when seen in its finalized form. Every one of those decisions is a choice to participate in the game of power.' -Philip Rizk
