*CALL FOR PARTICIPATION*<br>
<br>
Explore citizenship!<br>
Join workshops at the FRIENDLY FIRE conference!<br>
Register until October 15!<br>
<br>
Who Needs Biometric Passports?<br>
Are Asylum Seekers Political Actors?<br>
Who Risks Mutant Citizenships?<br>
Who Benefits From Statelessness?<br>
What Does It Mean To Be A Digital Non-/Citizen?<br>
<br>
Conflicts have been flaring up with exceptional heat recently.<br>
Exploiting this trend, right-wing populisms are promoting escapism and<br>
warmongering – thereby priming failed citizens and failed states. In<br>
contrast, the FRIENDLY FIRE conference wishes to explore how we could<br>
embrace conflicts in order to make societies more democratic. To begin<br>
with, the project asks: What is it for any person to become a citizen,<br>
today? What is it for citizens and non-citizens alike to become<br>
political actors in fields of dissent?<br>
<br>
The Berliner Gazette (BG) wishes to invite researchers, activists,<br>
coders and journalists to its seventeenth annual conference with the aim<br>
of initiating debates and collaborative processes. For the first time<br>
the event will be held in collaboration with the ZK/U – Center for Art<br>
and Urbanistics, taking place November 2-4, 2017.<br>
<br>
*Register* + *join workshops*<br>
<br>
The conference workshops will bring together over 100 activists from all<br>
over the world. The BG will invite key actors from the international<br>
scene to form the core of the five workshop tracks, and will issue an<br>
open call for the general public to register.<br>
<br>
The open call targets (upcoming) hackers, journalists, activists and<br>
researchers. A limited number of participants was is able to register by<br>
contacting the following E-mail: <a href="mailto:info@berlinergazette.de">info@berlinergazette.de</a>. Deadline is<br>
October 15. Registration fee: 50 Euro, incl. catering. Please note: The<br>
five workshops will be running in parallel fashion, hence everybody is<br>
invited to commit to one single track. On November 2-4, the workshops<br>
will take place from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. The conference hosts will provide<br>
catering throughout the entire conference, including warm lunch. A<br>
series of guided city walks is planned for lunch breaks!<br>
<br>
To tackle the key issues of the conference, five parallel workshop<br>
tracks will offer five different approaches for a pragmatic critique of<br>
citizenship as a framework for political participation, asking the<br>
following questions: "Who Needs Biometric Passports?", "Are Asylum<br>
Seekers Political Actors?", "Who Risks Mutant Citizenships?", "Who<br>
Benefits From Statelessness?" and "What Does It Mean To Be A Digital<br>
Non-/Citizen?".<br>
<br>
The workshop groups will communicate before the conference in order to<br>
flesh out the workshop design collaboratively. Led by experienced group<br>
leaders, participants will be invited to come up with possible answers<br>
to the questions outlined in this project paper. The results will be<br>
made available as online resources by Berliner Gazette, and may include<br>
position papers, multimedia storytelling projects and collections of ideas.<br>
