腌入味儿的胶卷盲盒/ we got the films in back! remember those cameras we left in bar toilets 3 months ago? light leaked through small moments, a mirror, a kiss, a tiled silence, graffiti speaking over itself, someone passing, someone staying. in a place both public and hidden, fragments of being there, left anonymous. now they return to us, still unfinished. Thanks for leaving it. 📍Zur Klappe (straight bars can‘t be trusted, geklaut ☑️) 📍Silver Future 📍B-Lage

💩你的厕来了 ~ 厕所大概是你每天最诚实的地方。没有人在里面表演,没有人在里面假装。我们花了一段时间研究它——它的历史、它的政治、它在身体和制度之间制造的那些奇怪张力。 我们通过 open call 收集到了各位屎学家的投稿,现在想把这些东西带到现场,和更多人一起拉个大的。 当天流程: 📎 屎学小分享 ——厕所的文化人类学观察,以及我们为什么要做这个 🏭 屎学工厂 ——你是自己身体的厂长,解释为什么吃进去A、拉出来的是B 🚽 热乎屎 ——材料包含之前的投稿 + 画具、剪刀、针线、泥塑土,自己动手 不需要提前准备任何东西。 📩 报名:[email protected] ⏰ 截止:31.03.2026 活动时间&地点: 🗓 04.04.2026,16:00 📍 Wartenburgstraße 17, 10963 Berlin 本次活动随喜支持🪷

厕所是一个高度日常、却长期被忽视的功能性空间。 它既是公共设施, 也是高度私密的场所; 既与身体的排泄、气味与脆弱性相关, 也承载着情绪释放、短暂逃离与自我修复的时刻。 在这里, 身体与制度、 隐私与公共性, 持续产生张力。 本次 workshop 以「厕所」为切入点, 后续的工作坊将基于投稿内容展开 集体讨论与创作。 📂 投稿形式不限: 文字 / 图像 / 声音 / 录像 / 漫画 采访 / 物件记录 / 厕所独白 或任何无法被轻易分类的材料。 我们欢迎: • 不确定是否「算作品」的东西 • 只能在这里出现的想法 • 介于日常与创作之间的痕迹 📮 投稿方式 📧 [email protected] 📅 截止日期:2026.01.31

嗨,好久不见老朋友们! 我们是alienalsohastears,恭喜你找到我们!这次我们在柏林的一些公共厕所里放了一次性胶卷相机。 你可以用它拍一张照,记录此刻的厕所瞬间。 没有规则,没有滤镜。 这是一个简单的社会实验: 在一个既公共、又私密的厕所空间里, 你会想拍什么?又会做什么? 当你按下快门的那一刻, 就代表你同意照片被公开。 这是一个正在筹划秘密活动哦~ 谢谢你发现我们。 Hi, long time no see, old friends!
We are alienalsohastears — congrats, you found us. This time, we’ve placed a few disposable film cameras in public toilets across Berlin. You can use it to take a photo to capture this very moment in the toilet. No rules.
No filters. This is a simple little experiment:
In a space that is both public and private — a toilet —
 what would you capture?
 What would you do? Pressing the shutter means you agree to share your photo publicly. This is a secret project in the making.
Thanks for finding us.

意义就像小猫的尾巴,抓不住但总跟在身后。Berpenhagen是一个故事,每一位购买她的人也带着一个故事,而汇聚在一起,又是新的故事。有和未婚夫要一起骑去哥本哈根结婚的姐姐,有买给退休后钟爱骑行的父亲的女儿,有和父母商量着透支零花钱的小孩哥… 我们越来越觉得,现在是Berpenhagen骑上了自行车,带着我们开始了新的旅程。 「专心呼吸,专心看路!」

Berpenhagen, Berlin to Copenhagen. 这本小zine记录了一场从柏林骑行到哥本哈根的旅程,但它不只是关于地图上的移动——更是一段关于个人思考、偶然相遇与即兴体验的过程。我们试图把旅行当作一种有意识的感受方式,从速度与完美中抽离,走向偶然、即兴与个人的表达。 这本zine结合了摄影、手绘与文字片段,是一场神经质的、温情的、偶尔不拘小节的冒险,拼凑出我们的小小人生哲学。我们亲手装帧、花了四个月制作这本轻量级小刊,希望它能在旅途中遇见合适的读者。 每一本小Zine都会附赠一个钥匙扣,上面有我们在旅途中常听的歌组成的歌单(可扫码)和一个夜光的骑车外星人。 概念与设计:Zhijin&Junye 摄影:Zhijin 插画:Junye 字体: PingFang SC (OTF), Raleway Dots, Yuanti TC 纸张:纯纯粗面超白 300g/120g 装订方式:裸背胶装缝线装连本 现在这本小Zine已陆续登陆上海,武汉(和物咖啡,一脊书店,Combo),柏林,汉堡… 期待你们和她的相遇!

👭Live Talk: Nüshu — a language of her own: resistance, intimacy and Chinese feminist voices Nüshu (女书) is the world’s only known script created and used exclusively by women. It was passed down in the Xiaoshui River region (潇水流域) of Jiangyong County (江永县), Hunan Province, China. It was born among women who had no rooms of their own, no pen or paper. With needlework and whispers, they stitched together a world where their voices could exist — softly, yet persistently. Today, Nüshu is being rediscovered not only as a cultural vessel of women’s collective memory, but also as a symbol of connection across generations, and a gentle language of resistance. It continues to inspire artists, scholars, and feminists alike — offering a powerful source of empathy, care, and self-expression. We may ask:
In our time, do we also need a Nüshu of our own? Guest: Yulu Chen @chenyulujuju Born in 2001 in Yongzhou, the birthplace of Nüshu in southern Hunan, Chen Yulu is currently based in Northeast China. She engages in contemporary visual practice through anthropological fieldwork methods. Her work consistently unfolds at the intersection of historical crevices and individual memory, utilizing a calm visual language and poetic narrative structures to continuously interrogate the obscured life experiences of women. 📆 Date: 22nd June, 19:00 (2–2.5h)
📍Location: Ori, Friedelstr. 8, 12047, Berlin 🎬Screening: The Whisperers — a 50-minute documentary directed by Yulu Chen
