PROGRAM weekend 2
20.09.-22.09.
You will find the entire time on the site:
SÜSSMAUSKIOSK
The info kiosk serves as a central point of contact for visitors during the festival. Here you will find the program booklet and all important information about the festival, the Mäusebunker and Urbane Praxis. You can also borrow mini-golf equipment, make souvenirs and enjoy drinks and snacks here.
MÄUSEGOLF (Tournament event on 20 September, 16:00-18:00)
A unique minigolf course awaits you around the Mäusebunker! The courses were designed together using recycled materials that we found on site. Each section of the course reflects the special architecture of the Mäusebunker and invites you to explore the space in a playful way.
SUPA SAUNA (The sauna is reserved exclusively for FLINTA* every Saturday and Sunday from 16:00-19:00).
Supa Sauna provides a wellness atmosphere on the festival grounds. At the weekends, it is supervised by sauna masters and infusions are offered. The sauna is to be understood as a community-building and promoting object in the urban space. As such, it serves to bring different people together in a place of tranquillity in an otherwise turbulent environment. A unique social space in which a community pursues the basic need for comfort and refreshment of body and mind. The centuries-old tradition of sauna bathing, which has been shaped by different cultures, is thus directly integrated into the urban space. The sauna is reserved exclusively for FLINTA* every Saturday and Sunday from 6 to 7 pm.
BAREFOOT PATH
Discover the mouse bunker and its surroundings in a new sensory way. You can relax and experience new things on the trail of plant care and health. The barefoot path can be found on the lower grounds of the mouse bunker.

THE COMMUNITY STUDIO OF ART EDUCATION PROGRAMME UBUNTUS E.V
Here, people with and without experience of flight, with and without disabilities, children, young people and senior citizens, BIPoC, queer people... come together. In projects on architecture and contemporary art that deal with socially relevant issues of our time, they come in touch with one another.
In a kind of laboratory in the shape of a learning platform, the programme participants explore which artistic expressive power is developed to reflect global issues of the 21st century. The art materials used in the process are also examined in exercises. The programme encourages open cooperation and empathy, but also democratic ability to dissent.
The project work is fundamentally barrier- and discrimination-sensitive.
In the Ubuntus pavilion in front of the Mäusebunker (lit. ‘mice bunker’), the following programme take place for you (on sunday there will be a different one):
OPEN STUDIO OF ARCHITECTS/ URBAN DEVELOPERS WITH EXPERIENCE OF FLIGHT
How can we feel safe in our city and experience peace, even if we are, for instance, ill? How do you feel in the immediate vicinity of the Mäusebunker? Oudai Amer (Syria) and Vasylysa Shchogoleva (Ukraine) look into these questions using games, dialogue, silence and sound in an open thinking and feeling laboratory together with you.
Parallel to the events, you can browse through our mobile reference library with diversity-oriented publications on contemporary art and society and also borrow a book for an hour on the festival premises.

PROGRAM 21.09. Warum machen wir das eigentlich? - Activism and mental health. Between self-empowerment and overload
Activists are always faced with the challenge of balancing their own mental health. In a moderated conversation between Carlotta and Senami followed by a Q&A session, we will discuss activism and mental health in the field of tension between self-empowerment and overload: Can commitment to social change create a sense of meaning and belonging that may even counteract depression? What personal challenges are associated with intensive or long-term activist activities and how can we avoid exceeding our own limits?

PROGRAMM 21.09. Aftertaste
PROGRAMM 21.09. Aftertaste
A happening where space is examined through the lens of edible plant species: (spontaneous) vegetation can tell us about soil composition, toxins from previous uses, activities, social and cultural attitudes and the presence of more than just human co-inhabitants. By learning about unfamiliar flavors and overlooked or demonized plant species, we seek to create new values and challenge established hierarchies. The search for edible “”weeds“” helps us to look beyond the everyday urban landscape and brings excitement to everyday spaces and activities such as food preparation and eating. Through the choreography of collecting, preparing and sharing food together, the participants become actors and gain new perspectives on the city that continue to have an impact even after the food has been eaten and the dishes have been cleaned up.

She creates ephemeral spaces by bringing bodies together and shifting the kitchen into the public realm as a medium to connect social and environmental issues. Her practice involves analysing and questioning implicit ideologies and hierarchies inscribed in public space, opening up new ways of encountering everyday, banal spaces.

PROGRAM 21.09. Music at the Mäusebunker
17:00-17:30 Für Elise (Live Act, Dub, Freestyle Rap, Carribean Sounds) FÜR ELISE is a young Berlin band that emerged from the inclusive music project Ick Mach Welle by Killekill. The band consists of the Afro-German Elise Neumann on the microphone and the legendary Turkish-Finnish music producer and crooner Khan of Finland, who has been an elementary part of the queer scene for over 30 years. Elise impresses with her soulful voice, her incredible stage presence and her freestyling skills, Khan with his outstanding beauty and brilliance in production.
17:30-19:00 DJ Bläck Dävil (DJ Set ,Acid House, House, Techno) Werner aka Bläck Dävil is a stubborn and unusual guy who is hard to get out of your head, both as a person and as an artist. His motto could be: Turn shit into gold. Or turning broken computers into (halfway) functioning ones. Or turning a found record player into a few euros. Somehow it always goes on and Werner never stands still, he makes barter deals with half the city, and somehow he always manages to gather everything he needs to keep making music.
19:30-23:00 Public Display Of Affection This international band mixes art-punk with provocative indie music. Famous for their raucous live shows, cinematic visual art and a wild arrangement of styles, PDOA (Public Display of Affection) tickles the voyeur in all of us. The explosive vocals of lyricist and dancer Madeleine Rose on tracks co-produced by Anton Remy have played no small part in keeping Germany's capital city crazy in recent years, recalling the fearless eccentricity of the West Berlin performance art and music collectives of the 1980s. PDOA is an act of almost meditative non-duality that hits the golden ratio between soul food and sin.
20:30-22:00 Wisdom Tits (DJ Set / New Wave, Post-Punk, Glamour) In their DJ sets, Wisdom Tits combine minimal synth, synthpunk, post punk and no wave with a focus on female perspectives and queer acts.

THE COMMUNITY STUDIO OF ART EDUCATION PROGRAMME UBUNTUS E.V
Here, people with and without experience of flight, with and without disabilities, children, young people and senior citizens, BIPoC, queer people... come together. In projects on architecture and contemporary art that deal with socially relevant issues of our time, they come in touch with one another.
In a kind of laboratory in the shape of a learning platform, the programme participants explore which artistic expressive power is developed to reflect global issues of the 21st century. The art materials used in the process are also examined in exercises. The programme encourages open cooperation and empathy, but also democratic ability to dissent.
The project work is fundamentally barrier- and discrimination-sensitive.
In the Ubuntus pavilion in front of the Mäusebunker (lit. ‘mice bunker’), the following programme take place for you (on saturday there is a different one):
EXHIBITION: ANIMAL DRAWING BY SELMA ÖZDEMIR
Selma Özdemir's animal drawings – carefully selected and intentionally presented in an essential way – are contrasted here with the massive Mäusebunker and its history of experiments on animals. As if the artist briefly invites the souls of animals so that we can see ourselves reflected in them, and then let them go again. Gentle and sometimes humorous at the same time: this is how Selma Özdemir's work can be described.
Selma Özdemir has a learning and speech impairment. Depending on how she feels during the exhibition, she may also be drawing live in the pavilion.
Parallel to the events, you can browse through our mobile reference library with diversity-oriented publications on contemporary art and society and also borrow a book for an hour on the festival premises.

Living Creatures ist ein performativer Rundgang um den Mäusebunker, der sich tanzkünstlerisch mit dem ehemaligen Zweck des Gebäudes auseinandersetzt, Ort für Tierversuche und Ort der Aufzucht der Versuchstiere. Ein Kokon aus dem sich zwei Wesen herausschälen, eine Metamorphose. Die Wesen werden Teil der komplexen Welt, die noch komplexere Strukturen schafft und sie existieren nur, um zu erkennen, dass ihre Existenz in Gefahr ist. Living Creatures setzt sich zusammen aus einer bereits bestehenden Performance der Gruppe Creatures Collective und einer Choreografie von Nadja Raszewski die für den Ort entwickelt wird.

Two video projections on the façade of the mouse bunker question the relationship between human and non-human species: While the now empty building houses the memory and spirits of many lives within its thick walls, it finally makes space to create a new relationship with our non-human co-inhabitants. Practicing climate care and climate justice means taking responsibility for and caring for all the spaces of coexistence we encounter.
