Rehearsing Hospitalities Companion 4

Companion 4: Rehearsing Hospitalities is published in context of Rehearsing Hospitalities, Frame Contemporary Art Finland’s public programme in 2019–2023

Rehearsing Hospitalities Companion 4 asks what the possibilities and limitations of hospitality are. Should we instead be turning towards “rehearsing” redistribution?

This publication points towards the vast ways our lives and worlds could be organised through less hierarchical, extractive, and exploitative practices: with more love afforded to ourselves, one another, and our more-than-human kin. It doesn’t provide all the answers, or a blueprint for a new world, but illustrates how people are doing this work now. Here redistribution is treated as a verb: a doing.

Echoes of the Brother Countries Reader

—

The Echoes of the Brother Countries Reader embarks on a rigorous reappraisal of the historical exchanges between the German Democratic Republic (GDR) and its so-called Bruderländer (brother countries). Published on the occasion of the eponymous research and exhibition project at Haus der Kulturen der Welt (HKW), this reader considers the echo as a fulcrum to examine the resonant aesthetic, social, and political implications of an era from the perspectives of those who were deeply affected by the GDR’s state and labour policies, yet gravely overlooked in its histories.

Echos der Bruderländer Reader

Der Reader zum Projekt Echos der Bruderländer versucht eine Aufarbeitung des historischen Austauschs zwischen der Deutschen Demokratischen Republik (DDR) und ihren sogenannten ‚Bruderländern‘. Die Publikation, die anlässlich des gleichnamigen Forschungs- und Ausstellungsprojekts im Haus der Kulturen der Welt (HKW) erscheint, versteht den Begriff des Echos als Dreh- und Angelpunkt, um die ästhetischen, sozialen und politischen Implikationen einer Epoche aus der Perspektive derjenigen zu untersuchen, die von der Staats- und Arbeitspolitik der DDR zutiefst betroffen waren, aber in der Geschichte der DDR kaum wahrgenommen werden.
