For over a year, Gaza has endured genocide, alongside brutal attacks on Lebanon and Syria. The dehumanization of the Arabic region persists, with a colonial threat present for over 75 years. Meanwhile, in Germany, extreme police brutality suppresses 'freedom of speech,' while the state continues to fund Israel’s militarization.
In response to these oppressive forces, we aim to dismantle the fears and narratives that disconnect us from one another and from being grounded in our bodies. We reject colonial narratives and seek to explore how Arab and non-Zionist Jewish perspectives are manifested in Germany and the West.
We hold these questions within ourselves: What fears or emotions arise when we hear these narratives, and where do we feel stuck in our bodies? What new, liberated narratives do we want to embody and co-create?
Curators: Collective Care Berlin is a group of facilitators and activists that emerged through the “Regenerative Cultures Community of Practice” of the CitizensLab e.V. We bring a regenerative approach into the field of social justice, societal transformation and citizen engagement, integrating the cognitive, the emotional and the physical body as we seek to rewrite current narratives of democracy.
