*CALL FOR PARTICIPATION*

Explore citizenship!
Join workshops at the FRIENDLY FIRE conference!
Register until October 15!

Who Needs Biometric Passports?
Are Asylum Seekers Political Actors?
Who Risks Mutant Citizenships?
Who Benefits From Statelessness?
What Does It Mean To Be A Digital Non-/Citizen?

Conflicts have been flaring up with exceptional heat recently.
Exploiting this trend, right-wing populisms are promoting escapism and
warmongering – thereby priming failed citizens and failed states. In
contrast, the FRIENDLY FIRE conference wishes to explore how we could
embrace conflicts in order to make societies more democratic. To begin
with, the project asks: What is it for any person to become a citizen,
today? What is it for citizens and non-citizens alike to become
political actors in fields of dissent?

The Berliner Gazette (BG) wishes to invite researchers, activists,
coders and journalists to its seventeenth annual conference with the aim
of initiating debates and collaborative processes. For the first time
the event will be held in collaboration with the ZK/U – Center for Art
and Urbanistics, taking place November 2-4, 2017.

*Register* + *join workshops*

The conference workshops will bring together over 100 activists from all
over the world. The BG will invite key actors from the international
scene to form the core of the five workshop tracks, and will issue an
open call for the general public to register.

The open call targets (upcoming) hackers, journalists, activists and
researchers. A limited number of participants was is able to register by
contacting the following E-mail: info at berlinergazette.de. Deadline is
October 15. Registration fee: 50 Euro, incl. catering. Please note: The
five workshops will be running in parallel fashion, hence everybody is
invited to commit to one single track. On November 2-4, the workshops
will take place from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. The conference hosts will provide
catering throughout the entire conference, including warm lunch. A
series of guided city walks is planned for lunch breaks!

To tackle the key issues of the conference, five parallel workshop
tracks will offer five different approaches for a pragmatic critique of
citizenship as a framework for political participation, asking the
following questions: "Who Needs Biometric Passports?", "Are Asylum
Seekers Political Actors?", "Who Risks Mutant Citizenships?", "Who
Benefits From Statelessness?" and "What Does It Mean To Be A Digital
Non-/Citizen?".

The workshop groups will communicate before the conference in order to
flesh out the workshop design collaboratively. Led by experienced group
leaders, participants will be invited to come up with possible answers
to the questions outlined in this project paper. The results will be
made available as online resources by Berliner Gazette, and may include
position papers, multimedia storytelling projects and collections of ideas.
