🖥🌐 AFTER NETWORKS

⏰ 14:30 – 16:30, 17 April 2025
📍 RWTH Aachen University – Super C, Templergraben 57, Aachen, 52062

On Thursday, Tatiana Bazzichelli will be speaking in a roundtable discussion at RWTH Aachen University as part of the workshop “After Networks: reframing scale, reimagining connections." In times when the ‘extinction internet’ notion has been claimed from a “platform-in-the-age-climate-collapse perspective” (Lovink, 2024), which other telecommunication infrastructures could be developed in this current configuration? How can a more nourishing sense of community be recreated beyond the social disintegration naturalized on social media?

✋ NO. THE EXHIBITION
⏰ 17:00, 25 April 2025
📍 Kunstraum Kreuzberg/Bethanien, Mariannenplatz 2, 10997 Berlin

The title of the project sounds purposefully radical. “Нет”, the Russian word for ‘no’, is a symbol of disobedience, born out of ten years of resilience, stubbornness and the will to fight. Saying 'no' is a fundamental and inviolable human right that is denied to many people around the world today, including those in Russia. The mere word 'no' can lead to arrest or imprisonment in some countries. It can cost lives. The exhibition brings together the voices of those who, against all odds, continue to dare to say no.

The exhibition is curated by an international team of independent & critical journalists and artists who were forced to leave Russia in 2014 and co-founded Meduza, a Riga-based news outlet in Russian and English.

The exhibition will continue to run from 26 April through 6 July 2025.

Hey all, friends of ours are co-organizing a big Palestine fundraiser taking place at Bum (Paul-Linke-Ufer 21) to raise money for two grassroots mutual aid funds in Gaza operated by their Palestinian & Egyptian friends. One is for critical emergency essentials (https://t.me/+gvm8F6tmpyNkMDU0), and another a mobile school that offers psychosomatic education to children who can one day help to rebuild their society (https://www.gofundme.com/f/fpd9k-schools-without-borders)

They've got a full program led by majority Palestinian & Arab artists, researchers and activists - live musicians, DJs, talks on AI & tech’s impact on Palestine, poetry, a Dabke dance workshop, Tatreez making, food and more.

They really need a lot of people to come support to help the funds reach their targets! Hope to see you there✊
