What is Studio Я? Artists from areas in crisis, who gather here, network, look for ways in and receive no space for their topics, find in STUDIO Я a place beyond all borders – not that of native language, not form, and especially not content. Here radical new forms and political theory merge. No approach is excluded, as long as it is ready to question the normative society we live in and willing to propose new approaches.

STUDIO Я
IN EXILE. QUEERWEEK22
The hard reality of life in Berlin is, at the same time, a wet dream: here the self, lived out freely, constantly encounters alienating labels from the outside, as if being alienated from one's actual body wasn't challenging enough. Anyone who, self-confidently estranged from the world, searches for cohesion, will self-evidently be alienated – the never-ending search for security and the question of if it even exists, when escaping from one danger means the next is lying in wait. Alleged and actual safety will be explored in multilingual-speechless and nonverbal ways with performances, dance, parties, theatre, discussions and art exhibitions on queerness in exile and exile in queerness.
