Dance! Dance!
oder: was ist ein Freiraum?
13. Mai - 9. Juni 2017
Geöffnet: Mittwoch - Freitag von 14:00 - 18:00 Uhr (sowie auf Anfrage)
Ein LGBTI+ Demonstrationszug trifft auf die Gezi-Park Bewegung und wird Teil der größten Protestkundgebung in Istanbul. Festgehalten ist das im Film #direnayol von Kanka Productions. Heute bekämpft das türkische Regime LGBTI+-Proteste. Von der dramatischen Situation in Tunesien, wo Menschen unter Misshandlungen und Gefängnisstrafen leiden, erzählt Ahmed Ben Amor. Ein bedrängendes Bild zeigt auch Tal Iungman in dem Kurzfilm "How was your day?". Besonders gender fluid, non-binary und trans-Menschen sind einem politischen, diskursiven und institutionellen Regime unterworfen, in dem Menschen, Körper, Ausdrucksformen und Lebensweisen isoliert, kriminalisiert, marginalisiert und ausgebeutet werden.
"Tanzt gegen die Transphobie!" - das können wir von #direnayol lernen. Weitet das Feld des Widerstands, schafft politische und solidarische Sphären und Allianzen, damit eine identitäts-, gesellschafts- und geopolitische Isolierung generell und global aufgebrochen wird!
Eine Ausstellung, Präsentations-, Diskussions- und Forschungsplattform mit Rüzgâr Buşki, Tal Iungman, Gizem Oruç aka 6zm, Ahmed Ben Amor uvam.

or: what is freedom?
May 12 - June 9
Open: Wednesday - Friday, 2-6pm (and on request)
The LGBTI+ ‘movement’ meets the Gezi park protests and becomes part of the biggest protest rally in Istanbul. The movie #direnayol from Kanka Productions documented it. Today, the Turkish regime attacks all opposition including LGBTI+ community. Ahmed Ben Amor tells about the dramatic situation in Tunisia, where LGBTI+ people suffer from ill-treatment and imprisonment. Another urging matter presents Tal Iungman’s short film ‘How was your day?’. Especially gender fluid, non-binary and trans people are subjected to a political, discursive and institutionalized regime in which humans, bodies, ways of expression and ways of life are marginalized and exploited.
‘Dance against transphobia!’ - that’s one thing we can learn from #direnayol. Enlarge the field of resistance and create political alliances and supportive communities to break down identity based and sociopolitical isolation.
Exhibition, presentation, discussion and research platform with Rüzgâr Buşki, Tal Iungman, Gizem Oruç AKA 6zm, Ahmed Ben Amor, and many more.

Mahmoud Hassino is a LGBTI activist from Syria and lives in Berlin. He founded the Syrian LGBT magazine Mawaleh and he initiated the Mr. Gay Syria contest which created world wide attention.
Ahmed Ben Amor lives in Paris and stands up for the decriminalization of homosexuality in his home country Tunisia. He engages against the anal examination which is classified by the WHO as torture and abuse. Doctors forcefully commit this assault on suspects to get illusory proof of a transformed anal region of homosexuals.
