LaptopsRus in collaboration with reboot.fm 
presents the 4th edition of CrisisRus with 
workshops and performance at Alpha 
nova-kulturwerkstatt & Galerie futura in Berlin 
on October 25, 2014.

LaptopsRus is a self-organized open-participatory 
platform engaged in networking woman live 
performers. Prompted by the prolonging economic 
crisis as manifested in global Cacerolazo (dubbed 
global noise) where protesters bang on pots and 
pans while marching, we launched CrisisRus 
"NETWORK | RE:WORK" bringing together woman 
performers, homemakers, nomads, artists, 
activists to manifest woman work force and 
resilient capacity in these time of personal, 
political and economical crisis.

Alpha nova-kulturwerkstatt & galerie promotes the 
interaction of artistic, theoretical and 
political practices with an explicit 
gender-critical perspective.
As part of CrisisRus' workshop sessions and 
performance, we hold an informal round-table 
discussion (to be recorded) on relating the 
experiences and the coping with crises. Teaming 
up with Berlin-based free art radio, reboot.fm, 
crisisRus holds workshops on making DIY 
electronics and miniFM transmitters. Bring your 
defunct pots and pans, your soldering irons, your 
boomboxes, we provide parts and wires for 
electronic modification. Through mutual learning 
and teaching, we turn pots and pans into 
electro-noisemaking apparatus. The miniFM radio 
workshop demonstrates the possibilities of 
signaling crisis by short-range radio 
transmission. These workshops are free of charge. 
You get to take home your own DIY/DIWO devices.

The Workshop participants are encouraged to take 
part in the evening performance where we bring 
together sonic amplification, video documents and 
recorded conversation on crises and strategies 
for a grand electro Cacerolazo. The audience are 
invited to voice their own views with pots, pans 
and via megaphones. The live performance will be 
streamed live on reboot.fm
