Das Goldene Buch

Wir laden Frauen und FLINTAs mit fragmentierten Identitäten ein: Arbeiterin*, Mutter, Ehefrau, Ehepartnerin*, Elternteil, Politikerin*, Geliebte, Freundin*,… usw., um an Zine-Workshops teilzunehmen, über sich selbst zu sprechen und diese Fragmentierung zu erkunden. Was ist Identität, wenn nicht eines der einzigen Dinge, v on denen wir sagen können, dass sie unsere eigene ist? Aber auch: Was ist Identität, wenn nicht etwas, das andere Menschen ständig für uns definieren? Die Arbeit einer “Hausfrau” ist eng mit anderen Arten von Arbeit verbunden. Mit diesem kollektiven Workshop wollen wir uns gegen die Praktiken der Trennung von Zuhause und der Gesellschaft wehren. Sie sind eingeladen, eine Idee für ein Fotokopier-Magazin zu entwickeln, welche berufliche, persönliche und soziale Identität erforscht/erweitert/bezeugt. An zwei Tagen werden wir zeigen, wie wir gemeinsam unser eigenes Fanzine erstellen können. Jedes Kunstwerk wird ein Fragment des endgültigen Zines “The Golden Book” bilden, welches im September mit einer besonderen Veranstaltung vorgestellt wird. Jede Teilnehmerin* erhält ein Honorar für ihren Beitrag.

We invite women and FLINTAs with fragmented identities: worker, mother, wife, spouse, parent, politician, beloved, friend,…etc to participate in zine workshops, to talk about themselves, and to explore this fragmentation. What is identity, if not one of the only things we can say is our own? But also, what is identity, if not something that other people constantly define for us? The work of being a “housewife” is deeply tied to other types of work. With this collective workshop, we aim to push back against practices of separation of home, and society. You are invited to come up with an idea for a photocopy magazine that explores/expands/testifies to professional, personal, and social identity. Over two days, we will show how to make our own fanzine together. Each artwork will form a fragment of the final zine ‘The Golden Book’ which will be launched with a special event in September. Every workshop participant will be paid an honorary fee for their contribution.

Altın Kitap; kadınlar için ücretsiz bir fanzin atölyesidir.İşçi, eş, ebeveyn, politikacı, sevgili, anne, arkadaş,… gibi parçalanmış kimliklere sahip kadınları fanzin atölyesine katılmaya, kendileri hakkında konuşmaya ve bu parçalanmışlığı keşfetmeye davet ediyoruz. Kimlik, kendimize ait olduğunu söyleyebileceğimiz tek şey değilse nedir? Ama aynı zamanda kimlik, başkalarının bizim için sürekli tanımladığı bir şey değilse nedir? “Ev kadını” olma işi, diğer iş kollarına derinden bağlıdır. Bu kolektif atölye çalışmasıyla, evi ve toplumu birbirinden ayıran uygulamalara karşı çıkmayı amaçlıyoruz. Mesleki, kişisel ve sosyal kimliği araştıran/genişleten/tanıklık eden bir fotokopi dergisi için bir fikir üretmeye davetlisiniz. İki gün boyunca, birlikte kendi fanzinimizi nasıl yapacağımızı göstereceğiz. Her bir calisma, Eylül ayında özel bir etkinlikle tanıtımı yapılacak olan ‘Altın Kitap’ adlı final fanzininin bir parçasını oluşturacak. Her atölye katılımcısı, telif ücreti ödenerek final sergimizde sunum yapma fırsatına sahip olacaktır.

Invitamos a todas las personas FLINTA (Mujeres, Lesbianas, Intersexuales, No-binarias, Trans, Agénero) con identidades fragmentadas: trabajadoras, madres, esposas, parejas, políticas, amantes, amigas, etc., a participar en un taller de zines, hablar sobre sí mismas y explorar esta fragmentación. ¿Qué es la identidad, sino una de las pocas cosas que podemos decir que es sólo nuestra? Pero también, ¿qué es la identidad, sino algo que otras personas constantemente definen por nosotros? El trabajo de ser una “ama de casa” está profundamente ligado a otros tipos de trabajo. Con este taller colectivo, buscamos resistir las prácticas de separación entre el hogar y la sociedad. Te invitamos a proponer una idea para una zine que explore, expanda y de testimonio sobre la identidad laboral, personal y social. Durante dos días, te mostraremos cómo hacer nuestro propio fanzine juntas. Cada zine formará un fragmento del zine final ‘Das goldene Buch’ (El libro dorado), que será lanzado con un evento especial en septiembre. Cada participante del taller, tiene la oportunidad de exponer su trabajo en nuestra exhibición final, con una remuneración económica.
