Warm up for the day and start relaxed and happy with a morning dance at REMISE.
Participation including espresso: 6 €

Thursday, August 22nd
6:00 p.m.–10:00 p.m.

The Remise is a collective project in which we want to give space to our different practices, but also – and above all – to the exchange with each other. Instead of defining what the space is, we want to figure out what it needs to host us all. Opposing the typical hosting narrative, let’s host each other!
Bring your favorite food items, spices, fruits.. what‘s left in your fridge, your craving. Something that can be made easy, without much supply – something you like to share. Let’s then get creative with the different dishes and prepare them together and for each other in the space.

Let’s start this thing together! ❤️

Thursday, October 17th

What would text feel like if we could wear it on our skin? Does poetry have a smell or a savour?
Based on Cody Ellis Kluge’s existing poetry collection A POEM TO EVERYONE I FUCKED AND ONE FOR MYSELF, this is an invitation to join us in the process of writing poetry and perceiving poetic writing with other senses, by transferring their poems onto our own bodies, transforming it into an intimate (and culinary) experience in a cozy atmosphere.

Note: We want the audience to know that the event is taking place in socks.
Due to the limited number of participants, we kindly ask you to register via mail.

Diasporic Resonances ist ein partizipatives Recherche- und Performance-Projekt, initiiert vom Theater im Depot in Verbindung mit dem nigerianischen Choreograf, Tänzer und Musiker Israel Akpan Sunday. „Diasporic Resonances“ untersucht die Auswirkungen politischer Umwälzungen auf die afrikanische Diaspora und schafft eine diskursive Austauschplattform, einer nigerianischen »Town Hall« gleich, die Erfahrungen und künstlerische Interpretationen von politischem Widerstand erforscht und sowohl Künstler:innen als auch die Stadtgesellschaft zum Mitdiskutieren und Nachdenken einlädt. Was bedeutet es für diasporisch lebende Menschen, politische Aufstände und Bewegungen in der Heimat als entfernte Akteur:innen zu erleben? Welche Bewegungen starten im Raum der Resonanz – im Nachhall? Welches einzigartige Potenzial des Widerstands bietet die geographische Distanz? Inspiriert von der in Nigeria praktizierten Form des Gesprächsforums, der sogenannten »Town Hall«, wird ein Gesprächsraum eröffnet, der lokale Stimmen von diasporischen Menschen hörbar macht.

The picnic collective is spreading out the blanket. Come and join us to cover some ground!
To make sure the amazing contributions of FLINTA (Femme/Woman, Lesbian, Intersex, Nonbinary, Transgender, and Agender) aren’t lost along the way, we need to talk about care work. What can we do to create new forms of collaboration and aesthetics in art? Could collective work be the answer? Do we have to eliminate care work altogether? Or is vacuuming the art itself?
We want to see an intersectional approach to history, acting in solidarity, a new perspective that breaks down old male hegemony and hierarchies.
Join us for a meal and a chat about care and collective work! 

Write to us if you would like to come at kontakt@team-picnic.com or drop by spontaneously.
Spoken languages: German and English

Kinkurimba – Infrastructure for Artistic Pedagogy

Sunday, November 17th
Exhibition

Masks. Visible or invisible, they play an active role in our social structures. However, they do not function solely as objects that intent to cover.  In Nigerian and Cameroonian traditions, masks act  on three levels. The first level presents the mask as a symbol of a spiritual or social role, the second that, what it hides, and the third new identity that emerges, when the masks becomes an embodied expression. In this sense, masks speak not only of what they represent and what arises through them but also of what they conceal – and what is newly expressed through both them and this concealment.

12:00 p.m. Opening
Building on the concept of the mask, Straight + Kaaki engage with this complexity, which also reflects in the interpersonal experiences of our daily lives. Through portraits, paintings, and photographs, the exhibition speaks of the hidden moments where depth becomes visible before it once again, might get obscured. 

6:00–9:00 p.m. Art Jam
Let’s dive into it! Let’s share skills + stories to cultivate connections.
We invite you to an evening of over-sharing, collective confusion and exchange, on and through art making. Bring your artistic practice and your favorite materials – pens, paints, cameras … And if you’re not sure how – all the better.

6:00 p.m. Kinkurimba – Infrastructure for Artistic Pedagogy with Kabila Kyowa Stéphane Emery
Kinkurimba is an art education infrastructure based on trust economy as a currency in the transmission of knowledge that transcends traditional boundaries. Together we want to dive into the meaning of trust economies and ancestral knowledge departing from the Baobab Tree as metaphor for post-human and more-than-human collaboration. Join us for a conversation and sharing with Kabila Stéphane in the framework of the Art Jam and exhibition of Straight + Kaaki.

Straight + Kaaki is curated by Steffan Toto Jean Eric and Kaaki Stephane Chinedou Ibemesi.

Sunday, November 17th
2:00 p.m.–5:00 p.m.

Pillow Dance Workshop is a movement workshop that is inspired by the invisible inner strength of the soft, adaptable pillow. Somatic, experiential, and wild, the workshop spans across sensitive perception of pillow-weight and body-weight, embodiment of pillow-like qualities, and adrenaline-filled pillow-fighting. Through safer collisions and mutual support, we think and dream together about both tenderness and aggression. The workshop will be held in English, and will include physical contact between participants. To participate, please bring one pillow (the bigger, the better) with you to the workshop.

Due to the limited number of participants, we kindly ask you to register via mail.

The exhibition ‚Remembering Unclarity‘ takes us to places of the former so-called Eastern Bloc where the modern and modernist spirit in architecture cityscapes can still be felt but is often overshadowed. Forgotten buildings, once symbols of a visionary future, now stand still and are sometimes overlooked. It’s about more than just concrete and architecture – it’s about a heritage that tells a valuable story yet hardly receives any attention. With a mix of documentary precision and poetic blurriness, the analog photographs capture the beauty of these places that balance past and present. They prompt us to question why we fail to appreciate these structures and their histories, and why we overlook that they embody ideals, progress, and transformation. This exhibition is a call to see and recognize—to become aware of even the most unassuming.

We are inviting you to join us at the open evening of beautiful music from Make like a tree @makelikeatree_official – an artist whose self-expression transcends mediums and continents. His live performances are full of the soundscapes that will bring you to the inner world of nature and the diversity of its colors. Originally from Kharkiv (Ukraine), “Make like a tree” is a non-stop traveler, photographer and musician whose performances took place in most of the countries around the globe.

Sunday, November 24th
7:00 p.m.–9:00 p.m.

The artist Herkusho, a photographer and trained architect, takes with her work „Remembering Unclarity“ a look closer to the narratives in societies, places, and their history. Between the Instagram fetishism of ‚brutalist buildings‘ and architectural witnesses to socialist realism, the view of the so-called ‚East‘ is blurred.
Why are the images of its buildings and places on Instagram so hyped and famous but ignore the culture and background they’re standing on?
Let’s have a drink and chat on a journey through modernity and modernism. Work in progress.

Jeder Raum hat soziale und ästhetische Funktionen in verschiedenen Maßen. Die REMISE, als Raum für kreative Forschung, lotet diese Funktionen neu aus. Mit dem Projekt  FERTIL möchte ich ebenso experimentelle Raum-Installationen setzen, die die Komponenten der Remise in Szene setzen. Dabei sind Zeit und die Akteur*Innen ebenso wichtig wie die verschiedenen Bereiche der Remise selbst. Sie bietet spannende Durchbrüche, ungewöhnliche Lichteinfälle, Sackgassen, Flächen und fruchtbare Verbindungen. Ein Ausloten des Raumes mit Hilfe von Plastik, Licht und seiner Menschen sowie die fotografische und filmische Dokumentation sind das Ziel von FERTIL.

6:00 p.m. Immaterial Traces – A Performative Conversation

The artistic residency explores the speculative tellings of REMISE. Be it through the stories woven into the fabrics of the building, into their cracks, throughout this residency we want to listen to those bodies – human and more than human – that shaped the space.
Through the artistic research and work of the artists, let’s listen to the whispers of the walls, the visions of its windows in light of a future where what was is, is bound to disappear. 
Immaterial Traces proposes a weeklong residency with the artists Janina Santamaria, Benedicte Dahm and Julie Hjelt Wold, whose work poetically evolves around spatial practices.

Saturday, December 7th
5:00 p.m.–9:00 p.m.

Poetic perception of the world is crucial, it makes space for the Other and provides a voice for Everyone. At a time when multiple crises and capitalist tricks of individualistic incompatibilities are leading us into an increasingly suffocating space of loneliness and rationality.
Collective poetry is an act of resistance and radical togetherness. Come and contribute your voice!
Come, bring your friends, share your desires, your questions, the fire in your heart and the passion in your eyes ~~

Languages: any languages and multilingualism are very welcome, English and German will be present for sure.

Sunday, December 8th

This is precisely the time when artists go to work. There is no time for despair. No place for self-pity. No need for silence. No room for fear. We speak, we write, we do language. That is how civilizations heal. – Toni Morrison

In light of the recent elections in the US, the collapse of the German coalition government, the increasing prevalence of populist rhetoric and normalization of violences against marginalized and racialized communities, we want to come together to confront resignation by focusing on infrastructures of resilience.
Anticipating what lies ahead, we invite you to join us for a moment of strategizing, brainstorming, and collaborative action. How can we prepare for and address the challenges we face? What resources can we draw on to continue creating spaces of resistance and resilience?
Let us break the silence by speaking, writing, and discovering the languages we need to build these infrastructures of resilience.

Friday, December 13th
7:00 p.m.–11:00 p.m.

Performative experiment. The performance consists of cycles, in each of which the performers dedicate themselves to a different aspect of the psyche. Through the encounter with psychoanalytical theory and its concepts – e.g. false self, splitting, death drive – the performers dive into their own depths and embody the workings of psychic forces and drives. Between the cycles there is the possibility to enter or leave the performance.

Performers: Lia Anahita Bilinski, Matthew Rogers
