REGISTRATION and questions: sh(at)stephaniehanna.de
Only 12 spots available

Steph Hanna describes the workshop as follows:

"How can power be distributed and exercised in a socially just manner within a group? How can we avoid creating a power vacuum that would once again be filled by the most greedy and attention-seeking members of humanity? In a three-day workshop, we will explore this question physically and intellectually. To this end, we will deepen our body awareness and perceive what is happening within us and around us. This simultaneous presence with all our senses is the basis for our joint reading—which will also get us moving again. We think in motion, as a collective body. And in practice, this inevitably leads to further questions, such as:
How do we listen to someone else without prejudice, how do we accept them unconditionally?
How can we behave inclusively and still feel protected ourselves at the same time?
Somatic bodywork offers several methods for this purpose. It can connect us to an intuitive 'pool of knowledge.'

All physical exercises can be designed to be inclusive and individually tailored. For collective exploration, I offer a selection of text excerpts (e.g., by Michel Foucault, Vaclav Havel, Ursula K. Le Guin, Lynn Margulis, Pauline Oliveiros, Arundhati Roy, and Robin Wall Kimmerer, in English and/or German). You are also welcome to bring your own text excerpts that inspire you and fit into this framework.

Please also bring comfortable clothing that allows you to move freely and something to write with."

`OPEN CALL FOR PARTICIPANTS` : Looking for Bremen-based queer people (individuals, couples, groups, etc) for an exploratory artistic project /

`DATES:` Participation would require around 2-3 hours of a single day. / Possible days are November 25, 26, 27, 28 or 29, of 2025. /

`THE PROJECT:` "Living Otherwise" / This project focuses on the liveability of queer people in European cities, focusing on Germany's shifting sociopolitical climate. Through conversations and photography, I will trace how queer individuals and couples-especially those navigating intersections of migration, race, and class-negotiate visibility, safety, and belonging in urban spaces that proclaim inclusivity. / This work foregrounds embodied counter-narratives to rising conservatism, asking: What does it mean to live queerly in cities branded as queer-friendly? /

`THE ARTIST`: Camila Flores-Fernández / I'm a Berlin-based, Peruvian queer artist, I will develop this project during the "Re Capitulating. queer II" residence at thealit Frauen. Kultur.Labor in Bremen, on November 2025. /

`THE RESIDENCY:` Re Capitulating. queer II / The residency "Re Capitulating. queer II" hosts artistic and theoretical projects at Arbeitszimmer thealit in Bremen, focusing on structured revisitations of queer history, politics, and the impact of conflict.

Camila Flores-Fernández (1996, Lima, Peru) is an interdisciplinary artist and researcher currently based in Berlin. She holds an MSc in Cultural Anthropology and an MA in Media Arts Cultures. She works mainly with video and written word, employing experimental and participatory methodologies to delve into sociopolitical topics related to migration, gender, and urban marginality.
Her focus is on community-based creation that highlights overlooked perspectives and stories wherever she is.
