---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Krystian Woznicki <[email protected]> Date: Thu, Dec 8, 2016 at 6:33 PM Subject: [bgcon] TACIT FUTURES > recap #4 Refugee Project To: [email protected] Hi, at the TACIT FUTURES conference the Berliner Gazette team invited participants and guests to donate for a refugee project at an emergency shelter in Germany's capital. This was supported by a variety of publishing houses such as AK Press, transcript, Diaphanes, Passagen, Merve and Meson Press. The publishers donated copies of books that related to our conference themes: migration, border policy, globalization, refugee rights, digital politics and so forth. In exchange for donations, conference guests could acquired these books. The money that we collected went into a refugee project: The printing of a photo brochure, that is 180 pages long and contains more than 100 photos which show the approx. 200 people of the community of this emergency shelter – refugees and so called "welcoming citizens" alike. Here an image of a spread inside the brochure, which came from the printing press the other day: <https://www.flickr.com/photos/berlinergazette/31133228050> https://www.flickr.com/photos/berlinergazette/31133228050 Usually invisiblized in the public realm (of mainstream media), this brochure enables the community to obtain a "visible face". The photos in this brochure show a community that came into being literally overnight in a school gym which housed hundreds of people young and old, male and female, from more than 20 countries – a place at which also countless community activities were autonomously organized. Actually some of the refugees and helpers of this community were active participants at the TACIT FUTURES conferences, among them Hamed, who's story is shared in the multimedia project "Lives in Movement": <http://berlinergazette.de/traces-of-movement/?page_id=2> http://berlinergazette.de/traces-of-movement/?page_id=2 For the moment, the brochure's distribution is limited to the emergency shelter community. But we would like to continue working on it in order to make it available to a broader audience in the form of a public book. If you want to support this (e.g. in form of donations), please write us an email!
