Die Primas, Moira Anouk and Marcela Andrea will open the doors and rooms for us on Friday, February 21, 18:00-21:00. A performance by the two is planned for 19:30. Where? At Arbeitszimmer thealit, St.-Jürgen-Str. 157/159, Bremen. 

And that's what it's about: the “‘kuir’ (Latin American ‘queer’) performative, musical and poetic scene in Chile from the dictatorship until today”. How do globalization, exile and capitalism shape contemporary queer culture? As Die Primas put it: “We view queer as an underground, non-exclusive movement, a daily performance of survival. The 2019 Chilean uprising, with its slogan "TODO GRATIS, TODO GAY" (everything for free and everything gay), brought queer visibility into the political stage and social struggles. The central questions are: How do kuir identities interact with US cultural influence (“Yankeeization”)? How do class dynamics influence travestismo (cross-dressing) and mariconeo (reappropriated extravagance)? What role does language play in resistance?”

Re Capitulating. queer

What it is all about? "To recapitulate means to repeat something in a structured way […]. A recapitulation ]…] concerns […] historical and political events, including predicted and planned futures - again, as if what is recapitulated in this way has always been and been in this order.

To capitulate means to admit defeat in various forms of war, in general, to submit one's will to that of the opponent in a conflict. Submission also to the interpretation of the conflict on the part of the victorious opponent goes hand in hand with capitulation, and that also means: with the opponent's recapitulation of the conflict.

At present […] before or during the outbreak of large-scale military conflicts on a global scale, irreconcilable recapitulations of history have been positioned, also in various narratives in and on capitalism. In and on queer movements and processes.

Which statements, procedures and tactics can be identified or invented historically and currently on the part of a 'queer' against the capitalist world order? Which assertions, explanations and practices of capitalist ideology need to be analyzed in relation to queer movements between identity and non-identity?

Again, and asked differently: How do 'queer' and capitalism intersect or connect? 

What could that mean: "queering capitalism"? […] How do queer and capitalism recapitulate (each other)? Has there been, is there or will there be capitulation(s)? What is to be traced or outlined here in a new recapitulation?"

NOTE ON ACCESSIBILITY:


Unfortunately, we have to postpone the planned finissage presentation passed on, about things we have passed on from the ART OF EMERGENCY RESIDENCIES. Instead, we will find a way to make up for this in a slightly different form and at a different location and will invite you again soon. There are ideas, more on that soon ...


Feminist, fighter, cook, entrepreneur, who was a fixed star of friendship and will remain in our memory. 

Without her courageous heart and alert mind, there would be no Frauen.Kultur.Labor. thealit

What 'women' meant, was and could become was her question and a path she dreamed of far ahead...
