Kongress der Sorge

A Networking Day for Labour Struggles and Feminist Initiatives on the Occasion of the Day of Care on 12 May

  • Dialogue
  • Music
  • Workshop

With the Kongress der Sorge (“Congress of Care”), HAU opens its doors to feminist initiatives, current labour struggles in the field of care and activists from urban society. For one day, HAU2 will be a place for exchange of experiences: in workshops, talks and panel discussions, spa-ces of possibility will be created for broad queerfeminist networking and solidarity. After two years of the Corona pandemic and the successful struggle of the Berlin health-care workers’ movement, it’s clear: there is no way back to the so-called normal. This congress serves as a forum to discuss and develop feminist alternatives to a society based on competition and profit. Neighbours, colleagues and friends are invited to join activists, theorists and hospital strikers in a collective thought process. For one day, HAU2 will be a site for exchanging experiences: workshops, roundtables and panel discussions will create solidarity across a broad queer feminist network. How can we envision a cooperative, needs-oriented way of communal life from a perspective of care? How can we fight for the care revolution?

Latest information for arrival

There is currently a construction site on Hallesches Ufer between Wilhelmstraße and Möckernbrücke underground station. There is a divided replacement route for pedestrians (right) and cyclists (left), which are separated by a yellow ground line. The carriageway is narrowed to one lane.

Travelling to HAU2 via U Hallesches Tor:

If you are coming from Hallesches Tor underground station, you will have to use an alternative footpath from Wilhelmstraße / Hallesches Ufer junction, which is separated from the carriageway by a construction fence – the actual footpath is currently closed. Please note: the alternative route is also used by cyclists. Pedestrians should keep to the right. We therefore currently recommend that visually impaired or blind visitors come to the HAU with an accompanying person.

Arrival HAU2 via U Möckernbrücke:

When you leave Möckernbrücke underground station, please stay on the footpath on the canal side until you reach Hallesches Ufer / Großbeerenstraße junction – the opposite side is currently closed due to construction work.
