Beyond music and awareness, the Community Space is the heart of joining in: skill-sharing workshops to try out, learn and exchange, the artistic-political zone Gewalten Formen and the Queer Dating Stage — by and for FLINTA* & allies.
Workshops & skill-sharing
Stich für Stich
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 × FLINTA*SIALAND
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!
Community Space
Mut-Muskel-Workshop
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.
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.
Erasure Poetry
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.

Liquid Latex
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.
Gewalten Formen
“Gewalten Formen” is a mobile, artistic-political installation that brings the topic of gender-based violence into public space through various media formats. The project combines art, activism and education to expose and critically question patriarchal structures.
Workshops also take place in this zone — including the Mut-Muskel workshop by Radikale Töchter and the talk “Recognising psychological violence & narcissistic abuse”.

Queer Dating Stage
A little stage for encounters: playful, self-determined and with a wink, getting to know new people. We’ll announce the exact format and times here soon.
