Muhammed Lamin Jadama

On his tour, Muhammed Lamin Jadama shows “his” Kreuzberg — from his perspective – that of a political activist, photographer, social worker and local. He explains how Görlitzer Park is connected to the European asylum system, what life is like, if you don’t have a residence status and how social workers try to support those who are affected. On the way, Muhammed introduces some of the many Kreuzberg initiatives and associations in which people with and without a history of migration shape their neighbourhood together.

MAMALIOR

Lior aka. mamalior creates feminist Tik Tok content for Missy Magazine. Besides being a content creator, she’s part of the DJ crew Femmebassmafia. Her creative work focuses on exposing racist and sexist structures in club culture. According to Lior, more people who think and act in an intersectional and critical way need to be pushed to the forefront, and the lack of representation of BIPoC FLINTA artists in club and music line-ups finally need to be tackled. After all, safer spaces for queer BIPoCs are always needed in the music scene.

// Participation is free of charge. Please register in advance by sending us an E-mail  oplatzwird10@iwspace.de

Neben ihrer Tätigkeit als Content Creator ist sie ebenfalls Teil der DJ Crew Femmebassmafia und setzt in ihrer kreativen Arbeit den Fokus auf die Sichtbarmachung von rassistischen und sexistischen Strukturen in der Clubkultur. Mehr Menschen, die intersektional kritisch Denken und Handeln, müssen, laut Lior, gepusht werden und die fehlende Repräsentation von BIPoC FLINTA Artists in Club und Musik-Line-Ups müssen endlich abgedeckt werden. Denn mehr safer spaces für queere BIPoCs braucht es immer in der Musikszene.

MAYILA DANCE GROUP – « El otro lado »

by Off-road Collective

« El otro lado » is an experimental choreographic project by Off-road Collective. This collaborative process explores the relationship between movement and political activism, through the dancers’ experiences navigating a racist, anti-migration and anti-refugee society.  Pulling from their own lived experiences and working with imagery from the O-Platz Refugee Resistance movement, the dancers create an environment that leads the viewer to question their surroundings as well as understand and empathise with the fight. Strong feelings of anger, sadness, fear, limitation are welcomed, but the idea of hope and belief in a systemic change are at the heart of the process.

DENIZ MAHIR KARTAL

Multiinstrumentalist Deniz Mahir Kartal bringt seine Soloperformance auf die Bühne und baut damit eine Brücke zwischen Bosporus und Spree. Selten gehörte Instrumente wie Kaval, Duduk und Çağlama und von anatolischen Traditionen inspirierter Gesang treffen auf Loops und Beats und fusionieren zu einer Mischung, die die Phantasie und das Tanzbein zum Schwingen bringen.

WIDERKLANG CHOR

The internationalist choir ‘Widerklang’ invites you to a public rehearsal at Oranienplatz on Saturday, 08.10. at 10 a.m. as part of ‘O-Platz wird 10 – Baustelle Migration’. We will meet at the memorial for the victims of racism and police violence.  We want to express our solidarity with the feminist uprisings and learn with as many people as possible the song ‘Sorude Barâbari’, which is currently echoing through the streets of Iran and accompanies the courageous protest of women, LGBTQIA+, youth and other exploited and oppressed people. The song originates from Iran’s feminist movement and calls for the fall of patriarchy for a liberated society. Afterwards, we want to record the song as a video and distribute it as widely as possible as a sign of solidarity to support the call for a general strike. Come in large numbers even if you are not experienced singers! Here you can listen to the song.

Bring banners, signs and the like! May the dictatorships of political Islam fall – in Iran as in the whole Middle East! Long live the International Solidarity! and a revolutionary Jin Jiyan Azadi!

MAWVN

El colectivo Mawvn invita al juicio del genocida Cristóbal Colón. La colonización iniciada un 12 de octubre significó esclavización, genocidio, despojo y sus consecuencias siguen siendo hasta en dia de hoy poderosas. Pero ese mismo dia inició también la resistencia. La intervención dura Max 20 minutos y será en castellano e inglés.

Quienes somos Mawvn?Somos una autoorganización antirracista y realizamos un trabajo de difusión y acciones de protesta desde la diáspora indígena para visibilizar la lucha anticolonial de liberación del movimiento mapuche tanto en lo que hoy se llama Chile y Argentina.

The Mawvn collective invites to the trial of the genocidal Christopher Columbus. The colonization that began on October 12 meant enslavement, genocide, dispossession and its consequences are still powerful today. But that same day also began the resistance. The intervention lasts Max 20 minutes and will be in Spanish and English.

Who are we Mawvn? We are an anti-racist self-organization and we carry out a work of diffusion and protest actions from the indigenous diaspora to make visible the anti-colonial struggle of liberation of the Mapuche movement in what is now called Chile and Argentina.

SISTA OLORUNTOYIN

Sista Oloruntoyin and Brother Mwayemudza, will be inviting members of ARRiVATi, Schwabinggrad Ballett and Africans From Ukraine, to come together in a presentation of reflective moments of the struggles of refugees in Germany and especially in Berlin, which culminated in 2012 with the Protest Camp Occupation of Oranienplatz. While drawing attention to some contradictions, absurdities and (temporary) failures in this struggle, speeches, music and video will be combined into a performance.

PERRXS DEL FUTURO

Lxs Perrxs del futuro is a collective of perras that believes in the power of movement. They stand and act against the systems of domination, colonial expropiaton, war and death by mobilizing their struggle into public spaces through the beat of perreo. They strongly believe that the re-appropriation of the body and movement is fundamental to transform the desire to burn everything into revolutionary power, healing and resistance!
