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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
Alpha nova-kulturwerkstatt & galerie promotes the interaction of
artistic, theoretical and political practices with an explicit
gender-critical perspective.<br>
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.</font></div>

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<br>
