PROTEST_IN_XHAIN

Documentation of the cultural education project.

An interdisciplinary workshop (by artistas, a cooperation with marisa maza) in cooperation with ALIA center for girls and young women, Alte Feuerwache e.V. and others. Supported by the project fund cultural education of Berlin, 2016 “

PROTEST_in_Xhain offers young girls and women a research and creative space in the Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg district (here Xhain) in which they can use artistic means to publicize their own opinions. The interdisciplinary project opens up insights into the east-west German PROTEST history of the district and thus creates an awareness of PROTEST movements in the living environment of the participants. On the basis of intensive research (e.g. youth (resistance) museum) we examine how PROTEST is expressed and changed in different political systems and in the cityscape. As part of the project, the participants are made familiar with artistic forms of PROTEST, such as pastiches, activist interventions (e.g. Guerrilla Girls), collages (e.g. Martha Rosler) or performances (e.g. Radical Cheerleading).
