All The Rivers

All the Rivers is a series of involved artistic exchange, in form of workshops and Flash-residencies.

Open to any medium and discipline within arts, stage tech, and the community around them, All the Rivers is focused on the transformative power of exchange and cooperation/collaboration within and between arts, artists, community, society and their peripheries. We see a sharing of skills, knowledge, insight and creative process as a mutual spiral of growth, and are looking for an active, aware practice of exchange, involvement and commitment, in an informed and inclusive mindset and effort.

Creativity is formed in constant dialogue of learning and teaching, of voicing and listening. in both workshops and residencies, artists and workshop leaders invite the participants for either or both.

The series offers workshops on a wide range of topics, from inclusive, aware and accessible production and creation, technical skills, inspiring practices and involved creation. Information about the workshops you find below this text.

As part of All The Rivers there are 5 Flash Residencies, short, production-orientated residencies followed by a public showing. They aim to offer public participation - in any form and medium, from performing arts to visual arts, sound or installations, aiming to reach out and enter into dialogue with the audience and community as part of the artistic process and its performance.

The jury members Nuray Demir, Katharina Ludwig and Ece Tufan selected 5 groups of artists from 78 submitted proposals. We are happy to announce

Raras Umaratih

 

 

Raras Umaratih (they/them/dia) is a multimedia artist and organizer who is currently working and studying in Berlin since 2018. Before that they were part of Jakarta-based MilisiFilem Collective. They work with different mediums as is needed by the idea, including: compost worms + ecosystems, animation, zines and self-publishing, painting, sculptures, writing, spoken word in mother-, second-, and third-tongues, and site-specific performances. They co-organized the “Lambe Lambe” street occupation poster workshops together with Anne Nascimento, and they also initiated the collective zine project Garuk Garuk (‘scratch scratch’) from April ’23. One of their day jobs is also working as tutor for *foundationClass, an art study prep program for people with experience of exile and/or racism.

They believe in shifting away from a competitive, merit-based art-as-commodity industry, and into practices that seek to relate, and to keep the conversation going.
