We have been collectively contemplating the future, the end of climate change, the downfall of the patriarchy, the dismantling of the systems that keep us apart, the normalization of mental health and positive future forever. We have been replacing sci-fiction dystopias with futures we can really imagine living in. How did we get there?

15:00-16:30 Performative installation by Johanna Ketola at HIAP Studio Building
“In the HIAP Open Studios I am showing a work-in-progress version of one part of a multi-part installation “For G, as Ground”. In the studio you see “a reader” in a video installation format and during the weekend combined with sound and live performative gestures. At the core of this work is a poem, written as a sort of contemporary lament. In this work-in-progress I also work with kind of material-semantic non-sense, which could articulate interests during the residency time; semantic gaps combined with material sameness and homologies. Also a publication from the summer residency time is on display.”
Performers: Muriel Kuoppala, Johanna Ketola, Astri Laitinen, Katja Lautamatti ja Johanna Sipilä
Sound and live sound: Petri Alanko
16:30-18:00 The Diaspora is a House too: screening + discussion with Pınar Öğrenci and Minou Norouzi at HIAP Community Room
The Diaspora is a House too: a work-in-progress screening of Berlin-based ex-HIAP resident Pınar Öğrenci’s new documentary work titled Gurbet Is a Home Now. The screening is followed by a discussion with Pınar Öğrenci tied in with the work of current HIAP resident Minou Norouzi on the themes of architecture and migration.
Gurbet Is a Home Now is a documentary by architect and artist Pınar Öğrenci. The film puts under critical review the urban planning principles in 1980s Berlin that displaced migrants through occupancy quotas and the so-called Zuzugssperre. Considered by urban planners as “careful urban renewal” this policy effectively prohibited non-European citizens moving to areas with existing migrant communities of a certain size.
Öğrenci constructs a heartfelt, humorous, critical view of urban planning in 1980s Berlin. She puts at the centre of the film the personal experiences and solidarity amongst the women migrants and inhabitants of one of Berlin’s most consequential urban renewal projects: the International Building Exhibition 1984-87 also known as IBA 1984-87. Öğrenci draws on Esra Akcan’s book Open Architecture: Migration, Citizenship and the Urban Renewal of Berlin-Kreuzberg by IBA 1984-87 and interviews conducted by Akcan. Alongside this, Öğrenci uncovers the photographic archive of Heide Moldenhauer, one of the few female architects of the IBA urban renewal project. Öğrenci’s film puts into poetic reflection the idea of “place” and presents a substantial reappraisal of a slice of Kreuzberg history that has remained in the shadows.
PLEASE NOTE: In line with Covid-19 recommended measures the event is restricted to 10 visitors. Please email minou.norouzi (at) gmail.com to book your seat. If you are in the risk group or would like to request an online preview please get in touch.
