In a sauna, people meet strangers and exchange stories while absorbing heat being naked and sweaty. In this workshop we brought the sauna to a step further: we absorbed heat, stories, gestures, words, objects, skills, dreams and sweat them out to other people, re-enacting what we have learned. Also naked, why not.
We learnt how to live, how to breathe, how to make a kebab, how to embody old wisdom, how to tie shoes the proper way. All you need is a fan, a towel and a body. A kebab stick, a drink, some snackies. Participants developed a deeper perspective on what it means to operate within a complex identity such as the city and gained skills to open their own kebab shop.
Writing Weaves
(2025)
Delphine Chapuis Schmitz
This exposition presents a format designed for experiencing and experimenting with writing as a collective practice of weaving textualities from different sources.
The format consists of an iterative process to be implemented in a workshop setting. It is based on implementations that have taken place in different contexts in the fields of higher education and research in the arts, and is intented as an invitation to further adopt and adapt the format in transversal settings.

Culture and Identity Matters in the Films of Tomris Giritlioฤlu
(2025)
Tolga Theo Yalur
Turkish Female director Tomris Giritlioฤlu was one of the first in Turkish cinema to touch upon the long-forgotten and pathological consequences of the Turkification efforts in Turkey since forever. In Salkฤฑm Hanฤฑmฤฑn Taneleri / Mrs. Salkฤฑm's Diamonds, she (re)creates the recent and pessimistic past of the one-party Turkey of 1943 Wealth Tax, trying to overthrow the official discourse of the chaotic institutionalization and nationalization times in Turkey. In Gรผz Sancฤฑsฤฑ / Pains of Autumn (2009), she formed a part of the identity carnival of 6-7 September 1955 Events/Pogrom. In these two films, Tomris Giritlioฤlu offers a series of interesting contexts to examine the Turkish governmentโs national stance and the identity formation in two decades from the 1943 Wealth Tax and to the 6-7 September 1955 Events/Pogrom.
