Amen Juvlja Mundial — Wir Frauen Weltweit

Landebahn · 14:00–18:00

Discover your talent at the sewing machine! An open taster session, no sign-up needed: in a relaxed atmosphere you’ll learn the basics of sewing with guidance. To start, we all sew together on a festive garland that stretches across the grounds. Especially for beginners — everything you need is provided.

Radio Makro (Makroscope, Mülheim a. d. Ruhr)

Kieselwiese · 14:00–22:00

A DIY online radio for independent music culture is on site all day with a mobile studio. Radio Makro streams the acts live at makroscope.de/radio — and in between you can take the mic yourself: try out your voice, make what interests you audible, or say hi to your gran. Just drop by!

Maschinerie · 14:00–16:00

A two-hour movement workshop to DJ* sounds to open the festival day. How do we move on our own? How as a group? How do we create connection through movement and contact? We explore moments of belonging, breaking away and finding each other again — with exercises in support and trust, we give one another spotlights and empowerment. The focus is on the joy of movements from the everyday to the extraordinary. With various movement and dance practices and room for improvisation. No dance experience required.

Radikale Töchter

Gewalten Formen · 15:00–19:30

The world needs new radical ideas — but above all, more courage. Together we train our courage muscle: with approaches from action art and artistic activism, with stories of actions, methods and visions. A political, creative, activating workshop as inspiration for your own stance.

Miaïna Razakamanantsoa

Community Space · 16:00–18:00

Erasure poetry is a political art practice: from discriminatory material — racist or sexist books, newspaper articles or far-right party manifestos — a new, often political counter-speech emerges by striking out words and lines. The material (partly from Dortmund’s urban space) is deliberately never bought, so as not to fund oppressive structures. Historically tied to LGBTQIA2S+, feminist and Black liberation movements — yet still little known in Germany.

Lisa Jureczko · Projekt ECHO

Gewalten Formen · 17:00–19:30

A talk for anyone seeking insight into the topic of “narcissistic abuse & its consequences”. Once you see it, you can’t unsee it: we look at the often subtle tactics — from gaslighting to lovebombing to breadcrumbing —, at victim blaming, and at how bystanders can support those affected and where to find free and accessible help. Intersectional, interdisciplinary and destigmatising.

Landebahn · 18:30–20:30

A weirdly wonderful material: we experiment with liquid latex — colouring it with pigments, squishing it around, layering it delicately, creating membranes, piercing it with metal, casting objects. Individual pendants and decorative pieces emerge. And we chat about the barriers FLINTA* face in tech, craft and knowledge-sharing — and how to learn new things in a lovely atmosphere.

Performative Lesung

Community Space · 19:00–21:00

The queerpoesie.kollektiv is made up of four artists and sees itself as a literary and political community that questions what is taken for granted. Its focus is on queer-feminist texts that illuminate, defend and celebrate life beyond the norm. Between 7 and 9 pm, three of the collective’s artists — Carrie-Ann Lawrence (she/her), Linn Schiffmann (all pronouns) and Birte Stolte (they/she) — take the stage and present a full dose of poetic queer-feminism: queer political texts, spoken word and drag elements. They look forward to the literary exchange with you!
