Arsenal 3 is now open to all. The Arsenal 1 + 2 cinema suspended all events until April 19th, cutting short both the anniversary program for the 50th Berlinale Forum and the Forum Expanded exhibition. The online platform Arsenal 3 is now available to all users free of charge (on a voluntary donation basis). We are pleased that this week among others the essay Film Aus westlichen Richtungen (DE 2016) by Juliane Henrich is presented. The film was shown in one of our film programmes as part of the Werkleitz Festival2 2017 Nicht mehr, noch nicht [No more, not yet]. More information at the website of Arsenal Berlin.
Juliane Henrich’s essay film Aus westlichen Richtungen (2016) proceeds from the childish question of what “the West” can be above and beyond a point of the compass. It reveals the traces of how this concept has inscribed itself into West German post-war history and architecture as a model for society.
Until further notice, the office and equipment rental of Werkleitz are only occupied irregularly. Please contact Jörg Drefs for arrangements regarding the equipment rental via email: jd(at)werkleitz. de.

EMAP / EMARE scholarship holder Aay Liparoto and HOT BODIES - CHOIR present the work no bodies welcome | all bodies welcome at transmediale 2020 in the group exhibition The Eternal Network, which is open from January 28th to March 1st in Haus der Kulturen der Welt in Berlin. In their work, Aay Liparoto acknowledges our interdependence with technology for information, work, sex, entertainment, socializing, health care, and everything in between. What does this mean for queer feminist bodies, which rely on DIY information exchange? Housed in a “void pod,” this speculative choir piece is created through workshops with HOT BODIES – CHOIR, a queer, LGBTQIA+, and feminist choir based in Brussels. Cocooned in light and sound, the singers’ voices invite us to reflect upon the power and politics of online spaces. The artwork is informed by Liparoto’s research and Not Found On—a nonpublic wiki cocreated through workshops with, by, and for feminist queer bodies to record and exchange knowledge. The accompanying publication chronicles the collective thinking behind the project.
