Therefore, we would like to invite you to the book launch on Friday, 24.11.2023 from 6 to 10pm at Galerie Wedding. Existing Otherwise (XO) was conceived as an exhibition and discourse program in Berlin and Tamale (Ghana) by Isabel Lewis, Ibrahim Mahama and Solvej Helweg Ovesen. The book presents the transformative artworks and discourses that were created as part of this project during the COVID-19 pandemic. In interviews and "retraining" lectures, artists, choreographers, visionaries for sustainable leadership and scientists reflect on the future of coexistence, dealing with social and physical collapse, recycling and the space that art offers for transformation. We are really happy to have you and look forward to seeing you again. *** XO- Existing Otherwise Kerber Verlag 2023 @kerberverlag Texts by Jem Bendell, Övül Ö.

Time to remember: Last Saturday... Movement Research ACROSS - POLY(e)MOTION [Deutsch in den Kommentaren] The third and final day of the festival started inside Galerie Wedding, stretched out on comfy puzzle-patterned floor mats. Skinship introduced us to the gentle world of togetherness, touch, consent and connection which made us glow inside. The mats were soon removed to make space for some serious body-hopping: Joana Tischkau and Amelia Uzategui Bonilla were the masterminds of our “changeovers”. On the agenda: “white men” enjoying some hard rock while manoeuvering their stiff midriff and air guitar, pre-adolescent girls in love with all things beautiful, tourmented teenagers kicking their demons, the unified mass of the Gabber stepper, and a quick introduction to some famous movers who copied, appropriated, mimicked - or tried at least. The intense moving continued, this time on Wedding’s town hall square, set within Viron Erol Vert’s Flexible Colour Circle: House Szene Berlin with DJ Achraf pumped up the crowd which readily responded with a cornucopia of intricate moves until one contestant finally won the - competitive, yet friendly - battle. A ginger belle in daring PVC garments wrapped around her legs closed the evening singing songs about love, loss and naughty delights. Framed by a choreography full of tease and eye-lashed flutters to the audience, Katana Six tremolloed her voice to finally lip-sync - not for her life, but for us, the very appreciative Movement Research ACROSS crowd. That was the day’s line-up: „MY BODY MY PLEASURE“, workshop with Skinship, „Is this Appropriate – Where does the homage end and the parody begin? Musings on Cultural Appropriation“, workshop with Amelia Uzategui Bonilla and Joana Tischkau, “JAM ACROSS & BATTLE“, hosted by House Szene Berlin and guests, “KATANA SIX“, performance by Katana Six Big thanks to Juan Saez for the amazing photographs! @galeriewedding @XOCuratorialProjects @NitsanMargaliot @mltppr @thomias.r @yzulover @solvejovesen @vironerolvert @skinship_berlin @touchedbodywork @axel_bodywork_nielsen @amelia_uzategui_bonilla @waltraudwatermelon @houseszeneberlin @katanasix @kulturmitte @visitberlin @TS_ra
