DA SIND WIR* 02 Veddel

What is it like to be a female read person out and about in Hamburg-Veddel?

In three workshops for FLINTAQ, we explored the district of Veddel using artistic methods. We shared experiences as well as dreaming-up and testing new modes of being outside. At the same time the POOL, a meeting place and intervention in public space, invited everyone interested to participate throughout the project – building, discussions, a picnic, stopping by for a coffee, a reading-evening and games like the Veddel-Memory provided different paths into questions about being outside. DA SIND WIR* 02 develops in exchange with each interaction, it’s conditioned to the weather and is subject to collective mood, it is fluid like water, like the POOL, a space into which everyone can jump and dive.

The DA SIND WIR* 02 exhibition gave visitors insights into experiences, stories and actions from the workshops and the POOL.

More about DA SIND WIR*: www.da-sind-wir.com

DA SIND WIR* invites female-read persons and everyone who identifies as women and/or are or could be exposed to discrimination in public space because of their gender or sexual identity. It is important for us to invite non-binary, trans people, women with migration experience, Women of Color and Black Women, women with different abilities and queer women to participate in the project.

With DSW* we want to address the diversity, difference and intersectionality, of the strongly varying experiences in public space. It is important to us that each participant is an expert for themselves and their own situation and that important knowledge is generated through exchange. In the workshops of the DSW* project, we create a safe(r) space together with all participants in order to build trust, share experiences and act together.

FLINTAQ is a term used within German speaking communities that stands for women, lesbians, inter, non-binary, trans, genderless and queer people.
