Remix & Record is a collaborative artistic project created with the Welcome Classes of the Ruth-Cohn-Schule in Berlin. During two intensive weeks, student-artists aged 16–21 worked alongside artists and educators from the fields of dance, hip-hop, film, sound, visual art, and somatic practice. Together, they developed original multimedia works rooted in movement, memory, storytelling, and collective experimentation.
The participating young artists have diverse cultural, linguistic, and migratory backgrounds. Remix & Record centers the students as creators, collaborators, and cultural producers. Through workshops in movement, sound, filmmaking, photography, writing, and digital media, the student-artists shape individual and collective works reflecting questions of identity, belonging, resilience, imagination, and futurity.
This final public presentation at Spore Initiative features an exhibition of student-created visual works, a short film, sound pieces, zines, and a collaboratively constructed archive. This event invites audiences to experience a space shaped by embodied research, artistic processes, cross-cultural collaborations, and self-representation.
Remix & Record offers a chance to experience the creative work, perspectives, and collaborative processes of young individuals who are developing new forms of belonging and cultural expression in Berlin today. The event is open to the public, and everyone is invited to join us for an afternoon of film, art, sound, conversation, and supporting emerging young artists.
- Student-Artists
The student-artists in the Willkommensklassen (Welcome Classes) of Ruth-Cohn-Schule Berlin—classes designed for newly arrived students learning German—are the primary creators of Remix, Record. Through two weeks of intensive collaboration, they developed original works across film, sound, movement, writing, and visual media, drawing from their unique perspectives and experiences.
- Teaching Artists
Our teaching artists, Saahithyan Chandrakumar, Rye Cavanaugh, Maurice Leoni-Osion, and Cristina Leoni-Osion, are a multidisciplinary team of educators and artists in dance, theatre, filmmaking, animation, hip-hop, photography, poetry, music, and curatorial practice supported the creative process. With backgrounds spanning early childhood education, youth arts pedagogy, and community-based projects in Berlin and internationally, they facilitated experimentation and provided artistic tools while centering youth-led authorship.
This project is funded by the Berliner Projektfonds Kulturelle Bildung.
