Workshops and Community Involvement

“Notes to my (E)ntimate Self” Workshop
(Berlin, Germany, 2021)
Disobedient Circumstance and WWBL

After Corona, we have spent so much time indoors and online that we have become even more disconnected. But as things have started to open back up, we are quick to go out into this glorious Berlin summer, snap photos of adventures, and post online as if we weren’t completely dependent on the thing in our hands: Our E-dentity. The identity that we have formed online. Whether we want to admit it or not, its starting to become a part of us now. In this 2-hour workshop, we will discuss, write, reflect and share our digital selves in an attempt to bring our two halves together.

“Improbable Talks: Identity” Panel Discussion
(Columbia, Germany, & Turkey, 2021)
IDP Collective

Founded by independent artists that aim to connect creatives from all around the world through Performance Art. We focus on promoting movement in all of its forms, as artistic expression, freedom of speech and choice, social and political commitment, supporting minorities and building communality. Our main objectives revolve around connecting, manifesting, mobilizing and communalizing, this by the creative prompting to action of artistic and critically reflective practices.
