All The Rivers Flash Residency 1: Terraform (WT): ausland

All The Rivers

All the Rivers is a series of involved artistic exchange, in form of workshops and Flash-residencies.

Open to any medium and discipline within arts, stage tech, and the community around them, All the Rivers is focused on the transformative power of exchange and cooperation/collaboration within and between arts, artists, community, society and their peripheries. We see a sharing of skills, knowledge, insight and creative process as a mutual spiral of growth, and are looking for an active, aware practice of exchange, involvement and commitment, in an informed and inclusive mindset and effort.

Creativity is formed in constant dialogue of learning and teaching, of voicing and listening. in both workshops and residencies, artists and workshop leaders invite the participants for either or both.

The series offers workshops on a wide range of topics, from inclusive, aware and accessible production and creation, technical skills, inspiring practices and involved creation.

As part of All The Rivers there are 5 Flash Residencies, short, production-orientated residencies followed by a public showing. They aim to offer public participation - in any form and medium, from performing arts to visual arts, sound or installations, aiming to reach out and enter into dialogue with the audience and community as part of the artistic process and its performance.

The jury members Nuray Demir, Katharina Ludwig and Ece Tufan selected 5 groups of artists from 78 submitted proposals. We are happy to announce

All The Rivers Flash Residency 1: Terraform (WT)

Four FLINTAQ* people from four traditions of anticapitalist and leftist-feminist struggles of the so-called Global South - India, Bolivia-Brazil, Palestine and Peru, come together to talk about names.

Aymara, Maricarmen, Promona, Rasha and Raras conspire together, discussing how, in the past decade, the term "Global South'' has become a part of our common parlance, added to a large collection of vocabulary used by imperial states to designate our lands -- third world, Commonwealth, global majority, developing country, orient etc. These are not names or descriptors that came from us, and our communities have consistently critiqued such signifiers mandated by those nations who actively participate in neocolonial violence. As racialized FLINTAQ+ from colonized lands, we know that the differences between country/city, North/South, white/BIPOC, are not enough to describe the complexity of the violence that our bodies perceive. We have multiple resistances, daily responses to these challenges, and we articulate them collectively. We imagine that it is possible to inoculate ourselves with our diverse territorial responses, to make possible a healing encounter, to reforest our minds and our hearts in the face of the desert produced by western monoculture. By exchanging critical and politically complex narratives about the naming and renaming and re-renaming of our cities, streets, territories, under many colonizers and neocolonial national governments, we bring to light the dynamic complexities of naming as a political act. Through photography, theater, visual art, popular pedagogies, performance and history, we bring our own tools of critical analysis to the history of changing names.

In the end of the residency there will be a public workshop. Information will follow soon.
