Exhibitions

The multimedia exhibition by Cemre Atay, a Turkish-Kurdish, non-binary artist who is migrating to Berlin from November 24 to 30 at Zemin Berlin, presents her works from an autobiographical perspective. She wants to reflect on gender roles and the power structures of patriarchy. Berlin is still extremely affected by misogyny, especially trans*/queer migrant women. In the heart of Kreuzberg we want to talk about gender oppressions and their contemporary experiences/representations so that resonance can be found in the experiences of many other migrants in the city. Reflecting intersectionally on aspects of gender norms in social life (sometimes in subtle glimpses of everyday life, sometimes in immediate symbolism) in this exhibition means bringing to light the cause of migration from the global South to Berlin - and thus questioning the specific contours of the city's power dynamics and its various migrant communities in terms of gender.

„Surviving presence“ is the debut event series of the artistic platform-project, which goes by the same name. It is thought of as a collective investigation of the relationship of art and surviving, healing and activism through dynamic formats based on workshops, performance, talks and film-screenings.
