Manipulate reality
To reorder space one needs to redefine space. For this kind of artistic intervention I use the term “applied art”, which means art applied in public context and space. This is to describe an artistic strategy focussing problems in society to then intervene, interact and transcend into another construction of reality. I create tools to create this new reality in other peoples minds…

Sometimes I laugh at the wrong time

Brücken Plac Mostowy, C-P-E-Bach-Str. 11A, D-15230 Frankfurt (Oder)
Reading by Yasser Niksada (Afghanistan/Iran) with Manfred Möck, actor in collaboration with The Poetry Project Berlin.
Yasser Niksada (*2002) comes from the Panshir Valley in Afghanistan. More than ten years ago, the Niksadas fled to Tehran, where they still live as refugees. “But that’s no life,” says Yasser, so the family sent the then 13-year-old on a journey to Europe, an arduous escape over water and land. One of the biggest differences between Tehran and Berlin for Yasser is the absence of his two brothers and sisters, but above all he misses his parents. Today, after finishing school, he has started his education. In the poems he writes in his mother tongue, Persian, Yasser deals with the feeling of being torn apart and processes the experiences of his flight. In Eastern cultures, poetry allows people to express their own feelings, even if they seem unspeakable at first. Even children are familiar with this art because their elders tell them stories in verse.
In the Poetry Project Berlin, Yasser found the space to formulate his figurative language in poems and present it to the public.
Together with actor Manfred Möck, he has now composed a reading in which Niksada’s texts can be experienced in Persian and German.
Hate Speech
HATE SPEECH is a reflex for conflicts and tensions in society. An attempt to belittle the other person or a population group for ethnic, political or economic reasons.
In a long participatory process, we want to investigate the phenomenon of HATE SPEECH with the teatr na basku Lwiw, Ukraine, as well as the teatr Brama Goleniow, Poland and the teatr Legnica, also Poland, with the active participation of the partners in Frankfurt Oder and the region, and to explore the respective backgrounds and hidden conflicts.
Program September
African drumming and dance led by professional artists from Guinea.
Energetic and dynamic workshops and concerts focusing on West African dances and music, complemented by a spectacular performance of the ballet at the Festival of Diversity and jamming sessions with all the artists!
