Kitchen Tables: work, work… work?

by

Saturday, September 30th 2023, 1:30 – 6:30 pm

DIE MANEGE at Campus Rütli, Rütlistraße 1-3, 12045 Berlin

This event will be held in German and English spoken language.

Photo of kitchen tables with drawn signing hands and two coffee cups. The photo reads on the right upper corner 'Kitchen Table conversations: work, work... work?'

Kitchen Tables were self-set tables by BIPoCs creating their own spaces of resistance in a world in which, due to patriarchal dominance, they were less acknowledged and/or recognised in discourses. In remembering and celebrating these empowering acts, we want to invite and create space to reflect upon, create and discard theories as well as pass on and learn from each other.

Not only do we take the time to exchange, but we also want to consciously create a space where across communities and generations often invisible topics can be worked on. Therefore, we invite you to join us on Saturday, 30 September 2023 from 1:30 p.m. to create spaces through kitchen table conversations within the framework of this year’s #CommunitiesSolidarischDenken theme “labour”.

For what would work be if we did not make an effort to re_center work that has been denied, erased or forgotten?

Four kitchen tables are set up to discuss with our conversation partners different topics related to work within our BIPoC communities. There will be one rotation so that each participant can take part in two kitchen table conversations in total. At the end we will gather for a common reflection round to conclude together.
As participants, we encourage you to discuss the topics at the respective kitchen table, to accentuate work that is made invisible and to capture struggles, strategies as well as demands and bring them into the room.

Kitchen Table 1 (DLS): Labour Unions, Klassenkampf und Streik – mit Ceren Türkmen und Inés Heider

Kitchen Table 2 (DLS): Arbeit, Behinderung(en) und Staat – mit Geza Gothe und tba

Kitchen Table 3 (ELS): Community support, Emotional Labour and Care (work) – with Armeghan Taheri and GodXXX Noirphiles

Kitchen Table 4 (ELS): Labour, identity and existence – with Farah Abdi and Anguezomo Mba Bikoro

The conversation partners

Anguezomo Mba Bikoro is a visual artist and artistic director of Nyabinghi Lab, independent curator and writer since 2005. Their textual works analyze power processes and fictions of science in historical archives that critically engage with migration and colonial memory. Their focus is on queer indigenous and radical Black feminist biopolitics. In and through performance, Anguezomo has developed formats for ritual through ancestral healing that often expose the interwoven colonial histories of migration in site-specific spaces to dismantle prejudice and create independent emancipatory tools for liberation, education, and reparation. Their works were shown in numerous world Biennales and exhibitions including the Dak’Art Biennale and is author of the upcoming book “Obeah: Ancestries & Queer Grief”.

Community talk: ‘The Love And Labour of Community Organising’

by
For more thought processes and insights: The Living Archives

Friday, June 9th 2023 at 6 pm

Nachbarschaftsgarten Kreuzberg, Entry Corner Zülicher Straße/ Golßenerstraße, 10965 Berlin

This event will take place in English spoken language.

With Soli-KÜFA at 6pm and DJ-Set with DJ Smiley after the Talk!

[O]ne of the most vital ways we sustain ourselves is by building communities of resistance, places where we know we are not alone.

-bell hooks

Communities have been and continue to be spaces of coming together for many, but for others, they also signify spaces of resistance, love, care and, often, a tool of survival. Nevertheless, the required labour to built communities in the first place and continuous efforts to sustain them are often rendered invisible.

In the context of this year’s topic labour within our project #CommunitiesSolidarischDenken (Engl. Thinking of communities in solidarity), we would like to warmly invite you to our community event The Love And Labour of Community Organising on Friday, June 9th 2023, from 6 pm in the neighbourhood garden Kreuzberg (Nachbarschaftsgarten Kreuzberg).

In this light, this event revolves centrally around how categorisation and definitions affect the community (building) at large along following questions:

In what way is community organising considered or not considered to be work/labour?
What does it do with us or for/against us if it is not perceived nor acknowledged as such? Does this follow a well-known pattern? Or does it open possibilities of freedom?
What kind of labour do we actually mean when we speak of labour in this case? Which facets of such labour should be highlighted or were being made invisible?
And how could we include navigating these questions in our own every-day practice?

There is a growing awareness about how forms of work reinforce and partly substitute hierarchies of power, systems and legacies of oppression. Therefore, we would like to take the occasion to not only discuss alliances and coalitions of labour but also precarious, illegalised, invisible, unprotected labour from an intersectional perspective and its forms of resistance and care for each other within community building.

Togther with our special guests Marlize Andre (Casa Kuà), Clementine Burnley and Lucy Ng’ang’a (Break Isolation Group/IWS), we would like to offer the space for an open community conversation in which we can together produce, exchange and pass on knowledge, elaborate on it and contribute to necessary frameworks for successful alliance politics, coalitions and communities.

We’ll be welcoming you from 6pm. The communitWe’ll be welcoming you from 6pm for a Soli-KÜFA. The community conversation will take place between 7.00pm – 9.00pm and afterwards we will end the night with some dancing and an extra nice DJ-Set by DJ Smiley.

Wenn die Stadt im Sommer wieder zum Leben erweckt
und die Straßen in der Sonne strahlen
kommen die Menschen aus ihrem tiefen Winterschlaf
wenn sie ihr Getränk im Späti zahlen

Jetzt ist es wieder soweit
wollt ihr wieder etwas Lustiges erleben?
Dann hier liebe QTI*BIPOC, BIPOC und Queers,
ihr könnt mit einer Schnipseljagd Kreuzkölln übernehmen!

Ihr seid herzlich eingeladen
am 11. August durch die Straßen zu ziehen
und auf dem Weg zu der Zielgerade
dem Berliner Alltag zu entfliehen

Bild mit pink-blauem Hintergundverlauf mit einer andeutung der Preise, zu sehen ist ein Buch und ein Magazincover, Tüten und weitere kleine Boxen und ähnliches. Text auf dem Bild ist entsprechend der Beschreibung.

Together with many other groups and organisations we have planned a little surprise for the summer – a Schnipseljagd (you might know it as a treasure hunt)! 

If you’ve always wanted to test who in your circle of friends is more ambitious or just fancy a game in a big group, this is the perfect opportunity.
In groups of five, you’ll move across Kreuzberg and Neukölln, solve puzzles, complete challenges and find the route piece by piece. Be prepare to paint, do a bit of detective work and have a lot of fun – there are no limits to our and your creativity.

Whether on foot, by public transport or by bike, it is up to each group to decide how to get to the next station. It’s not a race – the actual walking time has no influence whether you win or not, instead our independent co-organisers will lovingly award you with points at each station. In the end, the groups with the most points will win – but actually, we all win.

At the finish point, prizes will be distributed and there will be the option to stay together for a while. So bring your blankets and snacks! And if you can’t join us until later, wait for our announcement on Instagram where the finish point is.

Here’s everything again in short facts:

BIPoC literature circle: Labour and resistance

by

May 25th – October 26th 2023, 6.30 – 8.30 pm

at xart splitta (Hasenheide 73, 10967 Berlin)

This literature circle will take place in English spoken language.

In recent years, there has been growing awareness about how forms of work reinforce and partly substitute hierarchies of power, systems and legacies of oppression. In capitalism, the categorisation and definition of what labour is and whether or how it is acknowledged or compensated render many forms of labour invisible or unaccounted for.

From care work, which is often undervalued, underpaid and invisibilised in various contexts, to sex work, which is stigmatised and criminalised, to the ongoing legacies of colonialism and the rebranding of (free) labour, to the struggles and emerging solidarity of people living within capitalism, to counterstrategies of survival under the oppressive systems, the definition and understanding of what labour is influenced many facets of our lived realities.

The reading circle aims to understand and discuss different aspects of labour, labour resistance and labour organisation, by exploring various forms and their contextualisation intersectionally.  We will approach the literature from the perspective of our lived experiences. Therefore, by linking our understanding of the literature, our personal experiences and (political) practices with theory, we aim to create a space where we can exchange, enrich and understand theory not only as ‘academically produced and usable’. With room for discussion and exchange, we want to foster a space of imagination informed by history, thought of in the present and envisioning a future (practice).

Information on registration and participation

The reading circle will take place every last Thursday between 6:30 pm – 8:30 pm (25 May – 28 Nov 2023) and consists of seven meetings with following topics:

25. May: Care Work

29. June: Labour and Rest

27. July: Stigmatisation and Criminialisation

31. August: Racial Capitalism

28. September: Borders and Illegalisation

26. October: Community, Solidarity and How to Organize

30. November: A Future Without Through a Present Within

This sessions will take place in our facilities at Hasenheide 73, 10967 Berlin. We will open our room an hour before the start of the reading circle and are inviting participants warmly to read the literature there or acclimate to the space at the point of arrival.

The reading circle is held in English spoken language and literature will be made available in English. Reading the literature fully is not a prerequisite for participation. However, we encourage you to share your suggestions and wishes regarding the suggested literature.

The literature will be made available to you after confirmation of registration. It will be in English written/spoken language and abstracts of a non-fiction mixture of academic publishings, articles and poems. Reading the literature fully before a session is not a prerequisite for participation.

The reading and discussion group is explicitly aimed at people who identify as Black, Indigenous or People of Color.

The offer deliberately takes place outside of an academic setting and is explicitly also aimed at people who do not position themselves as parts of academic circles and/or theories. The basis for the meetings is mutual recognition of different forms of knowledge and one’s own experiences.

Please send registrations by Friday, April 28th 2023 to: contact@xartsplitta.net

It would be great if you could write something about the following points in your registration:

  • Why you have decided to participate in the literature circle?
  • What your expectations and hopes are concerning the literature circle and it’s topics?

This event takes place within the framework of the LADS funded project #CommunitiesSolidarischDenken.
