Barn<\/p>\r\nJequi<\/em> is a body of work based on traditional fishing and hunting traps. In the Indigenous Brazilian language Tupi, \u00bbJequi\u00ab refers to tapered and oblong baskets made of bamboo, wood, or fiber and used for catching fish. This ongoing project began with the artist<\/span>\r\nresearching the collection of the Museu do \u00cdndio in Rio de Janeiro and was developed further by expeditions she made to secluded fishing villages. The goal of the project is to catalog and digitally document traps the artist finds in archives or that are currently in use.<\/span>\r\nMineiro used the digital data collected in this inventory to create a series of artworks thematizing communities where fishing and hunting are the main sources of income and food, which are now exhibited in the former hunting grounds of the once-secluded sanctuary of Solitude Palace and its surroundings.<\/span>\r\nJequi<\/em> highlights modes of resistance to extractive capitalism by documenting social ecologies found in subjugated and marginalized communities. By working in close proximity to cultural organizations that protect Indigenous heritage and are constantly threatened due to a lack of funding, the project also defends their relevance and permanence. As a space for reflection and action, the project allies itself with struggles for Indigenous sovereignty.<\/span>","program_el_content_img":34065},{"program_el_content_left":"","program_el_content_right":"Ramy Al-Asheq\r\nZur\u00fcckbleiben<\/em>\r\n\r\nInstallation and publication\r\n<\/span>\r\n

Atelier 15<\/p>\r\nThis project takes the form of an audio video installation and the trilingual publication (in Arabic, German and English) of a poem on the theme of arriving in Germany as a refugee. The work addresses expectations, emotions, conversations, narratives, and the difficulties with which refugees are confronted. By combining sounds and elements from everyday life in Berlin\u2019s subway, historical references to literary and artistic work, and personal observations, the poem attempts to highlight the contradiction between the realities of daily life and the expectations placed on individuals.<\/span>\r\n

Atelier 15<\/p>\r\nWhile investigating an event that profoundly changed the landscape of the Sahara to the south of Morocco, the filmmaker was faced with the silence of previous generations who remain haunted by a history they are unable to relate. In Galb\u2019Echaouf<\/em>, El Montassir turns to landscapes, plants and poetry in search of traces to cure this amnesia and fill the gaps in the narrative. Native plants like daghmous become metaphors for the unavoidably indifferent, defensive withdrawal demanded of those who choose to stay behind. Using non-human narratorial positions, nomadic streams of consciousness and Sahrawi myths to probe intergenerational trauma, Galb\u2019Echaouf<\/em> offers a non-linear account of dispossession and resilience from this part of the Sahara.<\/span>","program_el_content_img":34069},{"program_el_content_left":"","program_el_content_right":"Florian Model\r\nThe Urgency Is Fake<\/em>\r\n\r\nVideo<\/span>\r\n

Atelier 15<\/p>\r\n\u00bbKontempo\u00ab is a term that emerged as a neologism on the Kinshasa independent art scene.

Developed in collaboration with Acud Macht Neu (Berlin), the project Kinzonzi<\/em> by Laboratoire Kontempo<\/em> united artists and researchers from Kinshasa, Berlin and other places in an analog and digital transdisciplinary experimental space in order to question the structures of power and dominant trends in contemporary international art scenes. <\/span>\r\nLaboratoire Kontempo was founded by Mukenge\/Schellhammer in Kinshasa in 2019 as an analog and digital platform for contemporary art.

Atelier 15<\/p>\r\nLeaving behind a deserted courtyard, we enter a mysterious castle. Its inhabitants greet us in a still image. As they begin to move, they seem to follow strict patterns. Their bodies make sounds that resonate like machines: PVC, LNLM. The house has assumed a life of its own: Windows watch over the people, blankets record their temperatures, the floor listens in. It is about finding a new language: Between human bodies and technical objects. A choral performance was created on the basis of a collaborative project in which senior citizens imagined a future vision of their assisted living facilities.
