sister*hood is a project of several years for girls* and young women* from Mehringplatzkiez (Kreuzberg) . Through artistic workshops and jointly organized events, spaces for and by girls* and young women* from the neighborhood are created, expanded and opened. The focus is on providing tools to express their themes artistically and connect with others.
Urban space always means dialogue, intervention and connections. Spaces overlap, border on each other and cross each other. In the Mehringplatz neighbourhood, many girls* and young women* look for their own space to shape. The sister*hood project seeks to strengthen these connections and initiatives through artistic means, creative offerings and resources and to create access to new spaces. To this end, Peira cooperates with local youth institutions and collaborates with the artists Aliza Yanes Viacava and Ximena Gutiérrez Toro.
The project is based on a cooperation with HAU to connect (Theater Hebbel am Ufer) and outreach (street social work). Funded by Quartiersmanagement am Mehringplatz as part of the program Sozialer Zusammenhalt.
The documentary "Sisterqueens" (Clara Stella Hüneke, 2024) comes to Berliner Ratschlag für Demokratie. After the screening, Gonca Monypenny, education speaker at „Die Freiheit, die ich meine” von Gesicht Zeigen!, and Alma (Peira) will discuss questions about emotional education and art as an outlet for political emancipation. More information on Facebook.
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: April 11 and May 16, 1-6 p.m. (two-day training course)
More information on the Brücke-Museum website.
The documentary “Sisterqueens” has been released in cinemas. On March 9, we were guests at a special screening at Babylon Kreuzberg for a Q&A and subsequent discussion about the cultural cuts in Berlin. You can find the latest cinema dates on the film's Instagram channel @sisterqueens_film
