At the new residency with Helena Otto's project: sweet sour taste of nostalgia the focus will be on experiments with taste, memory, and nostalgia: as a longing for home and as home. This is also part of queer recapitulating…

The sweet sour taste of nostalgia project initially plans to engage in dialogue with people who are involved with food in various ways.

Helena Otto will cook with them, pickle fruit and vegetables, and talk about food and its significance, as well as cultural appropriation and cross-border tastes. The resulting sound works will explore how the taste of home/home tastes can be preserved, fermented, and passed on in other ways—within art.

You can hear, see, taste, and make this yourself on Sunday, September 28, starting at 5:00 p.m., at Arbeitszimmer thealit, St. Jürgen-Straße 157/159, Bremen.

Bring empty preserving jars!

Steph Hanna describes the workshop as follows: "How can power be distributed and exercised in a socially just manner within a group? How can we avoid creating a power vacuum that would once again be filled by the most greedy and attention-seeking members of humanity? In a three-day workshop, we will explore this question physically and intellectually. To this end, we will deepen our body awareness and perceive what is happening within us and around us. This simultaneous presence with all our senses is the basis for our joint reading—which will also get us moving again. We think in motion, as a collective body. And in practice, this inevitably leads to further questions, such as:

How do we listen to someone else without prejudice, how do we accept them unconditionally? 

How can we behave inclusively and still feel protected ourselves at the same time?

Somatic bodywork offers several methods for this purpose. It can connect us to an intuitive 'pool of knowledge.' All physical exercises can be designed to be inclusive and individually tailored. For collective exploration, I offer a selection of text excerpts (e.g., by Michel Foucault, Vaclav Havel, Ursula K. Le Guin, Lynn Margulis, Pauline Oliveiros, Arundhati Roy, and Robin Wall Kimmerer, in English and/or German). You are also welcome to bring your own text excerpts that inspire you and fit into this framework. Please also bring comfortable clothing that allows you to move freely and something to write with."
