At Kollabo, the SISTERQUEENS have entered into a close musical and conceptual collaboration with rappers Haszcara, Alice Dee, and Leila Ey. Kollabo means working together, feminist and musical interaction, and joint positioning. The result is 3 featured songs and a concert at HAU.
Kollabo is already the third feminist rap project in collaboration with the intercultural center for girls* and young women*, MÄDEA, in Berlin Wedding. The focus is on the (yet) more active participation of the girls* involved in the entire production (idea generation, lyrics, costumes, video, concert performance) and the (yet) closer artistic collaboration with professional rappers. The new feature songs revolve around the theme of "sisterhood". Whether it's celebrating their diversity, making a feminist statement to the hood, or honoring hanging out with their homies - the SISTERQUEENS know: "We are a mosaic, the result is a crown". At the end of the process, the girls* and rappers put on a full-length program on the stage of the Hebbel am Ufer theater.

On August 26, 1984, seven people lost their lives in a racist arson attack in Duisburg-Wanheimerort: Ferdane Satır, Zeliha Turhan, Rasim Turhan, Tarık Turhan, Çiğdem Satır, Ümit Satır, and Songül Satır. The survivors and relatives were left alone for decades—politicians, authorities, and the public did not talk about racism.
It was not until 2018 that they founded the Duisburg 1984 initiative, which has since combined education, remembrance work, and solidarity struggles with other victims of right-wing, racist, and anti-Semitic violence.

Do you have an idea for an art education project and would like to learn how to develop a concept and apply for funding? We offer a two-day training course at the Brücke-Museum on how to apply for funding, financial planning and legal forms. Participants have time to develop an educational concept. A selected concept will later be realized in the Brücke-Museum.
The workshop is primarily aimed at artists or artists with a history of migration. If there is still capacity, freelancers without a history of migration can also take part.
Date: September 15 and 29, 12am–5pm (two-day training course)
More information on the Brücke-Museum website.
