As part of the democracy project (Demokratieprojekt), we are once again offering free training for multipliers in artistic and political education work from June 2025. Apply now!
The multiplier training frauen. grafik. politik. focuses on empowerment through art and political education work. The free training includes thematic, technical, artistic and practical modules and will take place between June and December 2025.
At the end, participants will be able to facilitate their own groups and politically and artistically activate other women in their community. An overarching goal of the training is to enable the creation and maintenance of collective spaces by and for people who define themselves as women and are active in graphic production.
The three main threads of this training program are:
1 – Political education
2 – Pedagogical methods for community work
3 – Deepening graphic processes
These threads are linked together in the four modules (14 dates in total). The training modules, which start in June and run until December 2025, comprise three to four regular monthly meetings and intensive weekend workshops.
The venues are the Spore Initiative, Hermannstr. 86, and the Kiez-Etage at Karlsgartenstr. 6 in Neukölln.
A detailed description of the program can be found here (in German)
Who is it for?
The free training is aimed exclusively at people aged 18 and above, who define themselves as women with migration and refugee experience who want to work artistically and critically with communities of women. Participants with an attendance rate of at least 80% will receive a certificate. Basic knowledge of German (A2) is required.
With whom?
The training will be led by the visual artist and political education consultant Yili Rojas and will include visits from other women artists who have a power-critical approach. Rojas is the founder of the open workshop Frauen machen Druck and coordinates the projects Matriz and Mujeres gráficas (“Graphic Women”) in Brazil.
