Dinner Exchange Berlin auf betterplace.org

Betterplace is a platform for donations. Anybody can help on betterplace.org – as an individual or as a group. And equally, anybody can receive help, not just large well-known charitable organisations, but also small grassroots initiatives around the corner from you, or anywhere in the world. Betterplace cuts the usual corners of administrative costs people generally associate with giving to charity. The main thing is: everything is transparent.

Dinner Exchange Berlin is looking to raise 550 Euros to buy cooking equipment for future dinners. If you would like to make a donation towards this, click on the link below:

Curated by Joanna Warsza, Part of Wielkopolska Revolutions curated by: Agata Siwiak

‘Roma Issue. A project with majority’ looks upon the biggest minority in Europe as a source of possible, not apparent but vital political and social inspiration. Roma are most often stigmatized and marginalized and even the social programs introduce an irreducible difference between the normative majority and the marked Other. ’Roma Issue’ is an invitation to forget culture’s specific set of rules and asks how the Romani culture could become a horizon of the possible scenarios for reworking democratic tools, which kind of models could it provide when it comes to collectivity, mobility, post-nationalistic and anti-territorial agenda, general assemblies, or self-design and daring architecture.

The project consists of the first individual presentation of Pavel Braila’s work in Poland with ‘Baron’s Hill’: a video on the typology of the Romani villas in the Moldavian city of Soroca, and a trailer of his new project ‘Talking Letters’–a documentary on Romani language. As well as one day interventions in a beautiful Romani villa by artists, activists and researchers – including talks about ‘Border Theories’, which prove that a division minor versus major puts a threat to holistic perception of reality and guided tours on villa architecture of Polska Roma. A Romani flag will be hung on the top of the water tower – the seat of CCA Konin – an installation by the activist Marek Miller, seen also from passing trains on the Berlin-Warszawa express line.

Dinner Exchange Berlin meets AND AND AND at dOCUMENTA 13 // 3 August 2012, 8 pm.

During the 100 days of dOCUMENTA (13), AND AND AND is hosting and
organizing a programme that interweaves philosophical, poetical,
political, practical, pedagogical, psychical, and physical zones of
inquiry in one space/time. It is grounded in a conviction that, today,
all fields of human activity must critically re-examine the values,
assumptions, and modalities of doing.

As part of the programme, the Berlin-based charitable supper club Dinner Exchange Berlin
will host a dinner at the Turnhalle, starting at 8 pm.
On this occasion, we will be using unsold produce from local food markets and shops
in Kassel  to prepare and serve a beautiful meal.
Please rsvp to dinnerexchangeberlin@gmail.com and specify your names and the number
of guests you wish to bring.

A communal breakfast with the contributors will elaborate on the topics of the evening and invites to participate in a resuming, further discussion.
