Lesen Am See 2 Sm

Sunday 4. September at 6:00 pm

Hosted by: Neue Nachbarschaft/Moabit and Moabit Mountain College

“Compared to flowing waters, the bog is stagnant and viscous, reticent. While fluidity emphasizes total dissolution and infinite possibilities, viscosity draws attention to sites of resistance and opposition. The Bog is a sort of membrane between the forest and the wetland. A transition area, an open-ended gathering of living and dead matter. Bogs are queer ecosystems. Their cool and wet environment preserves many futures under a single slimy surface, without presumption of a seamlessly harmonious collaboration.”

COVEN BERLIN is a queer art collective focused on feminism, love, gender, and sexuality. Current members are Harley Aussoleil, Frances Breden, Lorena Juan, Judy Landkammer, Kiona Hagen Niehaus, and Louise Trueheart. As a group, COVEN BERLIN wants to create an open sphere to defy systemic violence and inequality, and is devoted to emotional processing, collective healing, political reassessment, paying fairly, and supportive time management strategies. The collective nurtures cultural work, in Berlin and online, in the form of embodied affective research and digital hybrid curatorial approaches, always with a breath of humor.


Registration is not required. This event will be in English.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In the frame of the cycle “Lesen am See” we invite diverse reading groups and collectives to share their practices, related to the dialogical nature of text itself as well the community of readers & listeners. This cycle happens in the very particular place of Strandbad Tegelsee: on the one hand remote, in the woods on the Tegel lake, and at once in the middle of the city of Berlin. The presentations will be followed by the discussion. Participation is free of charge, registration is not required.
