Cutie.BPoC Festival Berlin

from 22nd to 25th of July 2016, Berlin

We want to create a space where you can all meet one another and adress issues that affect us and our communities – migration, state violence, racism, surveillance, lack of spaces/resources – and to build stronger networks across countries within europe (and outside of it, possibilities and resources permit.)

We will be offering workshops, screenings, performances, discussions, parties, food and spaces to just hang out. Events/talks/workshops will be organized around topics including but not limited to sexwork, queer and aging, the prison industrial complex, bdsm, hackathons, art and decolonial identity, non binary perspective of gender, music and migration.

East: bodies, borders and zonification

The European unification, as Philomena Essed argues, has been foremost a project of whiteness. In a time, when it is said that Eastern Europe no longer exists, when Western Europe is also named “former”, the process of disappearance of certain borders implies its simultaneous multiplication and conversion into zones, border regions or territories. East is today operating as one of them. How, then, the way we conceptualize Europe changes if we rethink the silenced colonial/imperial history of European migration politics through the West-East relation of repetition, together with the coloniality of gender, the control of subjectivity and knowledge, the most extreme forms of exclusion and politics of death today? What potentialities for resistance are coming out from such analysis?

Este: cuerpos, fronteras y zonificación

La unificación europea, como sostiene Philomena Essed, ha sido ante todo un proyecto de blanquitud. En un momento en el que se dice que Europa del Este ya no existe, cuando Europa del Oeste también se denomina “antigua”, el proceso de desaparición de ciertas fronteras implica su multiplicación simultánea y su conversión en zonas, regiones o territorios fronterizos. El Este opera hoy como uno de ellos. ¿Cómo, entonces, cambia la forma en que conceptualizamos Europa si repensamos la historia silenciada colonial/imperial de la política migratoria europea a través de la relación de repetición Oeste-Este, junto con la colonialidad del género, el control de la subjetividad y del conocimiento, las formas más extremas de exclusión y la política de muerte actual? ¿Qué potencialidades para la resistencia surgen de este análisis?

Transforming Europe – 10 years of movement building

6th European Transgender Council
02 – 05 June 2016, Bologna

Since the first European Transgender Council in 2005 in Vienna, our movement has grown steadily (TGEU now has 90 member organisations in 42 countries); human rights of trans people are discussed more widely and more countries are in the process of improving legal recognition and protection. In Bologna, together with our members and supporters, we will celebrate our achievements over these 10 years. At the same time we will look into the challenges ahead that we face together as one movement in Europe…
