Both events will start with input from a comrade who was part of the O-Platz occupation where tactics such as negotiations, the spreading of harmful rumors, and rhetoric about legitimacy were used by the state to weaken the movement. Afterwards, we plan to continue reflecting on these topics in break-out groups and an open assembly.

The events will take place at New Yorck im Bethanien and will start at 11:00. The input and discussions will be in English.

Update: The discussion on Sunday, January 22nd about movement defense and restoring solidarity will start at 12pm!

Stronger than Borders
Widerstand – Flucht – Solidarität

3.12. – 6.12.2015

Leuchtturm Neukölln, Emser Straße 117, 12051 Berlin

Do 18:30 – 22:00
Fr, Sa 12:00 – 22:00
So 11:00 – 16:00

Program hier

In diesem Jahr sind mehr Menschen auf der Flucht und der Suche nach Asyl als nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg. Aus der Verzweiflung über ihren täglichen Überlebenskampf fliehen Millionen von Menschen aus ihrer Heimat. Sie hoffen ihre Würde, wenn schon nicht in der Gegenwart, wenigstens in der Zukunft zurück zu bekommen.

Die Situation hier ist widersprüchlich. Auf der einen Seite erleben wir ein großes Engagement von freiwilligen HelferInnen, die die Geflüchteten willkommen heißen. Aber auf der anderen Seite erleben wir eine fiesen Doppelmoral der „Willkommenskanzlerin“, harte politische Auseinandersetzungen um finanziell notleidende Kommunen, den Bau von
Grenzlagern, einen erneuten Aufschwung an verschärftem Rechtspopulismus durch Pegida- und AfD-Kundgebungen sowie rassistische Angriffen auf Flüchtlingsheime.

Es ist Zeit, diesem rassistischen und neoliberalen Diskurs, eine eigene Erzählung der Solidarität gegenüber zu stellen und dabei insbesondere zu helfen, dass Geflüchtete als handelnde Akteure selbst gestärkt und vor allem gehört werden.

Unter dem Titel Stronger than Borders stellen wir neben professionellen Fotografien des Fotografen Max Bondy Bilder aus, die Geflüchtete auf ihrer Reise selbst gemacht haben. Mit kleinen Einblicken in nur schwer nachvollziehbare Erlebnisse wollen wir gemeinsam ins Gespräch kommen. Ihr könnt Euch von Neuankömmlingen durch die Galerie führen lassen und an den Geschichten hinter ihren Bildern teilhaben, Euch vom panthomimischen Theater des Refugee-Club IMPULSE die Sprache verschlagen lassen oder mit uns über den Zusammenhang von europäischer Außenpolitik und Fluchtursachen, das Verhältnis von Rassismus und Klasse, die gesellschaftliche Bedeutung von Fotografie und vieles mehr ins Gespräch kommen.

LOTS OF PANELS AND GUIDED TOURS OF THE EXIBITION WILL BE IN ENGLISH!

Friday, December 4th 2015, 17:00 – 21:00

Venue: w_orten & meer, Hasenheide 73, 10967 Berlin-Kreuzberg (U7 Südstern)

If you are involved in any kind of refugee (self-) organization, supporter structures or charity organizations we would like to invite you to our empowerment workshop.

There is a lot to be done and the current situation of refugees in Germany and Europe requires us to rethink political strategies and use the power we have appropriately.
The current wave of welcoming culture is very important in order to show alternatives to the racist hatred that is getting stronger each day. At the same time this wave comes exactly at the time when our refugee movement has become very weak to almost not-existing anymore. The so-called civil society chooses to be in the helping position instead of supporting self organized refugee resistance. This is a step back, it puts us back to being the helped supposedly passive object while the helpers are becoming a new lobby.

How can we deal with these developments? How can we come out of the watching, the passive position, back into the acting, pro-active, demanding one? How to organize protest against the horrible law changes which is not (much) considered by helpers and white charity?

Our workshop will serve as a platform for us refugees and supporters but also as space to reach those we cannot reach through street protests. Such as Voters, Donors/ Funders, Neighbors, Academics, and so on politically, socially/ culturally and economically.
This will be done in rounds/cycles due to the number of issues which have to be discussed. For instance what are the roles of refugees and supporters, what are boundaries between refugees and supporters, what does solidarity mean? It means helping, providing humanitarian aid, charitable work or empowering, is it solidarity vs charity? And many others.

Therefore in our first round we will focus much on these questions by reflecting on our personalities in relation to the struggle, as the starting point of the decolonization process for humanity.

The empowerment workshop also builds up a framework to organise continuous readings which should take place every second week.

Why an exhibition and Archive about the Refugee Movement?
The Refugee Movement is a very broad movement. It is rooted in a long history of decolonial struggles. In the current struggle with its tent actions, protest marches, hungerstrikes, protest camps and roof actions, … , many many people join and leave the movement. The structures are very open and are renewed again and again. The movement changed a lot of minds and public opinions. Many achievements are made on personal levels as well as on political levels. A lot of knowledge how to fight, work and live together in such an incredible movement is produced by the fighters themselves. The exhibition WE WILL RISE is a collection of this important knowledge to use it for the ongoing movement.

Often the daily needs, troubles and changes inside the movement not allow us to have enough space for a deep reflection together on what we are doing and how we are struggling. WE WILL RISE intends to create a space for reflection for the people of the movement aswell as an exchange with people who are not (yet) part of the movement. The rise of the movement continues.
The continues dying at the outer borders of europe and many many protest actions of refugees in the recent years call the attention of the media and the public. But still the voices of the protagonists are not heard enough. The exhibition want to be part of the change of perspective in public concerning the fight of refugees.
WE WILL RISE is a growing exhibtion and a growing archive of the movement. It focusses especially on the time since the protest march from Würzburg to Berlin, the protest camp onOranienplatz and the squatting of Ohlauer school. It is not the aim to put all the information in a museum to declare it as history and closed. It is the aim to make history visible and accessible to use it for the present and the future. But the exhibition and archive can only grow if the people of the movement contribute to it. The exhibition need permanent places and spaces in order to grow and be accessible.
Nonetheless the demands of the movement – Abolish Residenzpflicht! Abolish all “Lagers”! Stopp all Deportations! The Right to Education and Work – are not yet made. To make the demands we need a process that the struggle reaches every corner of society. This exhibition is part of this process.
“The Refugee movement is the movement of the 21st Century” (ANGELA DAVIS)

معرض احتجاجات الاجئين برلين دعوة عامة لورشة عمل في يوم 27

البرنامج

معلومات عامة وشرح المعرض الفني  الزمن ساعة 
جمع الادوات للمعرض ونظرة عامة  الزمن 30 دقيقة
فترة راحة    لمدة 30 دقيقة
تكوين مجموعات عمل لمختلف النقاط الزمن ساعة
نقاش عام وجمع افكار  الزمن ساعة

لماذا يجب ان نقوم بمعرض ونجمع تاريخ حركة نضال الاجئين

ان حركة احتجاجات الاجئين حركة كبيرة ورائدة وهي جزء من حركات نضال طويلة ضد العنصرية والاستعمار الجديد وفي فترة حركة احتجاج الاجئين التي بداءة مع حركة بناء الخيام ثم  المشي علي الاقدام حتي برلين ثم الاضراب عن الطعام ثم  خيام الاحتجاج
ثم احتلال سقف المدرسة 
عدد كبير انضم للحركة واخر غادر وهذا النظام المفتوح  احد العناصر الجيدة للحركة  وغيرت الحركة كثيرا جدا في المستوي العام وحتي علي المستوي الشخصي  فتحت منافذ كبيرة وواسعة لاشخاص كثر ومررت خبرات النضال لاخرين  واول حركة تقم علي جهد شخصي للاجئين انفسهم  فكانت كاول حركة لاجئين  تقوم بابراز قدرات الكثيرين
ياتي هذا المعرض لابراز كل هذا الجهد وفرصة طيبة لتبادل الافكار ومواصلة طريق النضال الذي لن يتوقف
