We’ve had enough! The “House of Self-Defence” looks back on the tradition of queer feminist and anti-racist resistance. What kind of knowledge can arm you against violence? HAU3 is declared the “House of Self-Defence”, where a group of quick-witted trainers come together. In several workshops they teach techniques and traditions of self-defence.
In the evening, the doors open to all interested parties for a joint gathering “Words of Self-Defence”. Three short lectures by Amani Abuzahra, Şeyda Kurt and “Kein Schöner Archiv” situate the topic of self-defence in an emotional context and as a political field of action of marginalised communities. This part of the event can be attended with a day ticket for “House of Self-Defence” as well as with a single ticket for the lectures only.
“Kein schöner Archiv” is a collective under the artistic direction of Michael Annoff and Nuray Demir. It archives the immaterial heritage of post-migrant society live and in public.
