Friday, May 24, 20:00 concerts – Sozialpalast (outside!)

Chuck SJ plays Queer DIY Folk Punk, hailing from Brighton, UK. Although
their roots lie in folk punk, Chucks guitar playing extends far beyond
the contemporary and expected style of an acoustic guitarist.
Being a visable supporter of gender equality and an active member in the
LGBTQ community, it is not unusual to see them on the bill in aid of
fighting for equal rights.

Lisarrr plays political guitar-music

Aminta play singer_song_writer music

Entrance donation (0-10€)

Saturday, May 25, 11:00, PG:

Queer loneliness and commonality. A writing workshop.

Goal: To focus on „queer loneliness and community“. Together we will share experiences of being queer, how that is connected to loneliness and how desirable utopias could look. Based on that there will be writing exercises. In the end there will be room to share your own texts, if you want to do so.

Introduction into climbing (trees) – start at PG

For all of you who want to try out the basics of climbing a tree. The Workshop will start at 11 but last the whole day. You don’t have to be there from start to finish – just show up and take part! There won’t be a set course but more a constant skill share. People can learn to climb a tree with a rope, come down a tree with a rope, try out different knots and so on.

The Workshop will be about what you’d like to know and learn!

FLINT* only.

„Awareness and support work“

As a content-dense introduction into feminist support work we’ll deal with the theory and practice of Awareness and its realisation. The Workshop will be about 4 hours long.
One focus will be to impart skills on supporting those affected by sexualized violence.
Content: Awareness: What is it and why do we do it? Introduction into the concepts power of definition and partiality, group discussion about patriarchal gender relations and their effect on ourselves.
Theory: How do I support those who are affected?
Practice: Practicing conversations with people approaching us, and, when required, practicing of confronting the perpetrator.
Form: A workshop doesn’t mean that everybody has to actively participate, but the goals of the workshops are joint discussions, exchange and learning.
The Workshop is open for all genders and levels of experience.

13:00: break and warm lunch! – PG

Saturday, May 25, 14:00, PG:

Asexuality (in general and in non-exclusive relationship concepts) – Kirstin

Asexual people don’t experience sexual attraction towards other people.
Kirstin is asexual and lives in polyamorous relationships – and she meets a lot of prejudice and misunderstandings. Since many people, in and outside of the polyamorous community, know nothing or very little about asexuality, she will first give an overview of the asexual spectrum in this talk. Additionally, she will talk about how asexual people experience the polyamorous subculture, and how the split attraction model can be useful for communication about attraction and relationships.

Saturday, May 25, 14-17: Graffiti and stencils for FLINT, Sozialpalast (outside!)

Saturday, May 25, 15:00, PG: Women in Exile: Women, asylum and solidarity/How open are my political structures for refugee women*?  – the workshop is in English!

It is important to talk about racism, sexism and homophobia in relation to the refugee movement. We’re trying to present a united front, but on the inside a lot is separating us because of different privileges. Some of us are racist, sexist or homophobic, without even realising it. Sometimes it’s refugees, sometimes is those who are supporting.

It’s important to know your own boundaries in relation to support work. Supporters sometimes use up a lot of energy helping individuals and forget that this can’t go on forever, and that it’s way more important to empower those individuals: „Don’t give me the fish, teach me how to fish“. We reject the approach which paints the refugee-supporter relationship as one where one part is only giving and the other is only taking. We want to work on and think of another, our own concept of solidary cooperation instead.

Saturday, May 25, 17:00, PG: Chiron Stamp – Poetry Performance

Chiron Stamp – live artist and intersectional femmeboy feminist.

Chiron has performed multiple times at transpride events across the UK and will do a 15 min performance – poetry  – the material includes themes around queer resilience, consent and love for their trans identity.

Afterwards there is an open discussion around the importance of collective as well as self care, communicating boundaries, acknowledging and using privilege power – and asking how we work towards transformational accountability in our communities rather than recreating exclusionary systems of accountability.

Performance and discussion will be in English.

Sunday, May 26, 13:00, PG:

„What still seperates us from comprehensive sex-ed“ – Lena

Talk and discussion.
Even if topics like for example homosexuality are finally becoming more common in sex-ed in schools, there’s still tons of (queer) topics which stay undiscussed. Why are some of those topics regarded as not PG and others, even they obviously are, not discussed with adolescents? What can we do outside of school, so people don’t have to reach a certain age before they can learn about and understand the diversity of love, sexuality and gender? Lena talks about her experience as an uneducated adolescent and how she startet educational work as an adult and (for now) gave it up.

 

Sunday, May 26, 13:00, Ende-Gelände Aktionstraining, start at Hafenplatz 1 (sorry, no description in English yet)

Kohleausstieg 2038?! Das ist Kein Konsens sondern der direkte Weg in die
Klimakrise!
Kohleausstieg jetzt und deshalb sagen wir vom 19.-24.06. wieder **Ende
Gelände** im Rheinischen Braunkohlegebiet und bereiten uns auf eine
Massenaktion Zivilen Ungehorsams vor.

Damit wir alle gut gewappnet in die Aktion gehen laden wir euch zum
Aktionstraining (ca.5h) ein.
Im Aktionstraining wollen wir uns gemeinsam auf die Situationen in
solchen Protesten vorbereiten. Wir wollen einen Raum schaffen, in dem
wir uns über unsere Erfahrungen mit Aktionen Zivilen Ungehorsams, aber
auch über unsere Ängste und Vorbehalte austauschen können. Anhand
praktischer Übungen wollen wir  gemeinsam mit Aktionstrainer_innen
Verhaltensweisen, die im Rahmen von Aktionen Zivilen Ungehorsams
hilfreich sein können, erproben und Handlungsmöglichkeiten erschließen.
Vorwissen, Vorerfahrungen oder besondere Fähigkeiten setzen wir nicht
voraus, sondern wir wollen gemeinsam Dinge ausprobieren und uns
gegenseitig ermutigen. Wir laden alle ein, die Lust haben sich mit
Aktionen Zivilen Ungehorsams zu
beschäftigen. Im Anschluss an das Training wollen wir gemütlich den
Abend zusammen ausklingen lassen und Raum geben, sich in Bezugsgruppen
für die Aktion zusammenzufinden.

Wir freuen uns auf euch!

Sunday, May 26, 15:00 Farewell-gathering: feedback and everything that should be said 🙂

16: cleaning

and when the cleaning is done: Feminist Porn Watching

The newly founded SexHex-collec*tive invites you to Feminist Porn Watching. Feminist doesn’t only describe the way in which we watch porn, but also the porn we watch.
We’ll be showing three different scenes from different films, to present a certain range of feminist pornography. Right after each scene (and at the end) there will be time to discuss! (This time it will be open for FLINT & friends).
