Body images and self love

We want to question gender stereotypes and social norms together and consciously take time for ourselves. We want to practice self-compassion and a positive attitude towards ourselves. (f*collective)

Last chance to see the exhibition!

After the exhibition was postponed last year due to the pandemic, we were very pleased that the presentation From Ink to T-Rex could be made up for.

Fabian Marscholik and Marco Finkenstein encounter monsters. In their drawings and fantasies, sometimes in entire comics. Images are artfully nested, monsters are wrestled and laughed at. Now they show what was there and what is yet to come. And that's a lot: A monster zoo executed with black ink, a hodgepodge of creatures and a comic cosmos.

Both artists work freelance in Hanover for agencies, publishers and editors.
"From Ink to T-Rex" is their first joint exhibition.

Culture entertains, stimulates reflection and connects. Proximity to cultural offerings is still considered an important factor in determining whether a place of residence is attractive. In addition to theaters and museums, this also includes music, cinema, customs and specific offers that make your own living space a creative experience. Around 9 percent of people nationwide volunteer for this and thus actively shape society.

The state parliament of Lower Saxony examined the current situation of volunteers in its own commission of inquiry and developed guidelines on how volunteer work can be strengthened in the future. A Lower Saxony cultural promotion law, as is currently being discussed in the state parliament, could ensure sufficient funding for the cultural sector.

So what exactly is state politics planning and what role do volunteer cultural workers play in this? Discussion of the forum with Hanna Naber, MdL, Insa Lienemann from the state association for cultural youth education, Dr. Michael W. Brandt from the Oldenburgische Landschaft and the makers of "Einfach Kultur" in Oldenburg. Poetry slammer Daniela Sepehri will moderate the event.

Technical moderation: Friedrich-Ebert-Foundation, State Office Lower Saxony

Target group: Open to all interested parties

The access data will be sent after the binding registration.

Sebastian grows up in Hanover. As the son of a single mother, he learned early on how to be independent and on his own. As a teenager he falls in love with Betty and through her he gets to know another family construct that he likes very much. But tensions soon arise between him and the two worlds that surround him. The film follows a young person through three stages of life on the way to himself. With film appearances by Matthias Max Herrmann and Henning Hartmann (including work at the Hannover theatre).

At selected locations, the ensemble will use music and art to create spaces of experience that make changes in the environment tangible and conscious. Each of these open-air events takes place in different artistic constellations with international and local guests from new music, electroacoustic, performance and video art.

The extinction of species, the loss of biodiversity and the associated impoverishment of natural soundscapes are the topics of these walking concerts. The special communicative abilities, modes of behavior and perception and the social structures of bees and other insects are the starting points for the development of musical-artistic performances and actions. The playful exploration of the acoustic communication of insects aims to raise awareness of the human-caused silencing and disappearance of species and natural landscapes at the same time as increasing acoustic and visual environmental pollution and destruction.

An animal species goes extinct every 15 minutes - to illustrate this, the compositions and concert contributions each last about 15 minutes. They are supplemented by scientific and literary lectures and readings. Furthermore, sound installations, such as the sounds of insect hotels or beehives on site, make it possible to experience the acoustic perspective of insects.

With her clear, warm voice and sensitive lyrics, Nina Freckles turns her inside out. Accompanied by often ironic anecdotes from her everyday life, she leads through jazzy harmonies, dreamy melodies with driving folky rhythms and a pinch of groove on top.

Attention: only in good weather!

Songs of secret gardens, dancing muses and Brazilian longing. In her compositions, Zahira interweaves small observations and big feelings. Their organic music moves in catchy melodies between Indie, Brazilian styles and folky instruments.
