13.9.26 Dinner Performance “AŞ” @ecommemoration • RSVP only • link in bio
POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED
◾️Transgressive Memory Festival 2026☣️ Over the past eight months, I had the chance to develop the visual identity and design system for the Transgressive Memory Festival 2026, commissioned by eCommemoration / Körber-Stiftung. @ecommemoration @koerberstiftung The festival approached memory not as a fixed record, but as a contested field shaped by power, interpretation, technology and imagination — asking who gets to narrate the past, which memories become public memory, and how inherited narratives can be challenged and reimagined. Across the project, I developed the visual language and translated it into a wide range of formats: four posters, flyer, the programme folder, web app, artist communication, countless social media assets, motion applications and more. It was an eight-month process of building a system that could remain recognisable while constantly shifting across different types of content, scales and media. The festival took place on 12–13 September 2026 at silent green in Berlin during Berlin Art Week. @silent.green In calloaboration with CTM Festival & Transmediale @ctmfestival @transmediale A selection of the work here. 🖤☣️💜

For this edition of our Dinner-Ceremony AŞ at silent green, the dinner unfolded inside an installation of our computer game AŞ. Around one table, its physical and virtual forms met: handmade food, family recipes, Tatar language, music, images and stories carried through different generations and technologies. The project began with a question: why is Tatar culture so rarely imagined as part of a technological future? Rather than treating tradition as something that belongs only to the past, AŞ asks what happens when a ritual continues through new media, new bodies and new forms of gathering. For one evening, the game became a room, the room became a table, and the table became a shared ritual.

Four days of making AŞ. Planing, schopping, kneading, rolling, frying, boiling, plating, carrying, washing and lots of improvising. For this edition of AŞ, we prepared a vegan Tatar dinner for 30+ people: bäleş, AŞ & tokmaç, öçpoçmag & ğöbädiya, qıstibiy, qoş tele, çäk-çäk, talqış käläwä, halva, and more. AŞ has always been as much about collective labour as about the moment of gathering itself. Recipes and knowledge move between people, hands and generations. The dinner is made through all of these small acts long before the guests arrive. Grateful to everyone who cooked, chopped, carried, plated, washed, watched babies, solved problems and kept the kitchen moving with us. 🖤 AŞ — TATAR KYZ:LAR Transgressive Memories Festival silent green Kulturquartier, Berlin 13.09.2026 Photos private & @phantomorb 🤍✨

The best part of setting a table is eventually seeing people around it. Some moments from our AŞ dinner at silent green: eating, talking, laughing, passing plates, taking pictures of food, drinking tea and spending an evening together. Thank you to everyone who came and shared the table with us. 🤍 Photos by @phantomorb 🤍🤍🤍

A table for 32, an ancestral Tatar ritual, a computer game & lots of food 🌷 After days of cooking, carrying, setting tables, worrying, improvising and getting everything ready, we finally sat down together for AŞ. Around one table, with food, stories, music and the world of our game surrounding us. AŞ has always been about gathering. About the strange and beautiful ways rituals travel, change, disappear and return. And yesterday, for a few hours, it became something very physical again: people passing food to each other, talking, listening, laughing, eating together. Thank you so much to everyone who came and shared this table with us. Thank you @ecommemoration for inviting us and giving AŞ a space to exist in this form, and to our friends, family, helpers, supporters and collaborators for making it possible. It really took a village. 🤍 AŞ, Dinner-Ceremony by TATAR KYZ:LAR 13.09.2026, silent green, Berlin Photos @phantomorb

And here are another four things we want you to know about our computer game, and why it is a dinner-ceremony. 1. The house is a real Tatar village house from the inside! The house you move through in AŞ is based on a 3D scan of an actual house of relatives of our friends, who generously cooperated on creating the space while receiving the instructions to scan remotely. 2. Our memory of AŞ is fragmented by time and distance. We chose the fragmented aesthetic of 3D scanning because our own memories of home and of this ritual are fragmented too. Living in migration, and with returning becoming increasingly difficult, these places often come back to us in pieces, slightly distorted, almost like in a dream. 3. Different guests are invited to our virtual AŞ. In the game, we encounter figures from Tatar mythology and folklore, including Su Anası, Şüräle and Sak-Sok. But we also invite our own memories into the ritual: fragments of ourselves, our friends and families, stories we inherited, timelines we’ve lived through, altered by an autocratic imperial regime. 4. The table is what holds our space. What we remember very clearly is the table: people gathering around it, food being served, time spent together. So while the house itself appears fragmented, the table remains very present. That is why there is a table at the centre of the computer game, and also a physical table at the centre of the AŞ dinner performance. We are trying to bring these two together and re-live the ritual in a new form, shaped by our present reality in migration, somewhere between technology and tradition, past and future, critique and appreciation. The AŞ virtual experience, and production of the Virtual Tatar Choir are funded by Musikfonds e.V. and the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media.

AŞ is a traditional Tatar ritual, a dinner ceremony. And we also turned it into a web-based computer game, which anyone can play online for free at https://tatar-ash.space Three things to know about our game are: 1. The idea for the game came with the question: why is Tatar culture so rarely imagined as part of t̶e̶c̶h̶n̶o̶l̶o̶g̶i̶c̶a̶l̶ future? And what happens when we bring it into dialogue with a contemporary medium such as a computer game? So we recreated AŞ the computer game, in a way that invites players to take part in the ritual, moving through Tatar culture, language, folklore, and stories of resistance. 2. We proud to share that the entire game production was made only by a small FLINTA team with creative technology by @neslob_ @dock_digital_berlin and design by our long time collaborator @schoenherr___ 3. The game grew alongside our AŞ music album, where the same experiment continues through sound: Tatar instruments, language, field recordings, and the AI instrument Virtual Tatar Choir, trained on the voices of our relatives and ancestors. The album includes collabs with incredible Tatar artists @aigelslv and @svetabenprojects This Sunday, the physical and virtual AŞ come together. Our dinner at silent green will unfold inside an immersive installation of the game, surrounding us as we eat, listen and move through the ritual together. AŞ is free to play online https://tatar-ash.space Technical requirements apply The AŞ virtual experience, and production of the Virtual Tatar Choir are funded by Musikfonds e.V. and the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media.

At the center of the AŞ ritual is food, and for @allapopp especially the Tatar pie Bäleş. After years of working with digital technologies @allapopp started wondering what other technologies already exist around us, following completely different logics and rooted in different cultural narratives. Bäleş became one of the ways of thinking through this. Not only the pie itself, but the process of making it together, passing knowledge from generation to generation, gathering around the table, opening it and eating it together. These rituals of making, sharing and gathering are where much of our artistic curiosity lives right now. And this Sunday, we’ll gather around Bäleş and other dishes again for AŞ at Transgressive Memory Festival @ecommemoration

*Performance* NOTHING ABOUT MEMORY IS NEUTRAL! Our festival proposes transgressive memory as both method and principle. We regard transgressive memory as a mode of remembrance that questions not only institutional authority and dissolves the border between documentary and fiction but also acknowledges the complicity of technology in shaping collective consciousness. Over two days, the festival brings together more than 50 artists, filmmakers, game designers, researchers, curators, musicians and theorists, who examine memory not as something fixed or complete, but as a living process, which we constantly negotiate. The exhibitions, performances, screenings, workshops and talks challenge established forms of commemoration and memorialisation by focussing on artistic and critical contributions to memory culture and its socio-political environment. The works presented propose new ways of building relationships between histories, technologies and urgent questions of our contemporary, mediated global society shaped by new ways of seeing and hearing. With art works, performances and talks by Bashir Bashir, caner teker, Gabriel Massan, Göksu Kunak, Forensic Architecture, allapopp (TATAR:KYZLAR), Dan Hicks, Giselle Beiguelman, Hussein Shikha, Royce NG and many more. Come for the exhibition, catch a performance, play a video game, join a conversation, stay for the music or participate in a workshop! With contributions by CTM Festival, transmediale and VideoClub. ✦ Transgressive Memory Festival ✦ 12–13 September 2026 ✦ silent green, Berlin 🎟️ The festival is free and everyone is welcome! 🔗 Full programme & workshop registration via link in our bio © Graphic Design: Sophia Krasomil (@sophia_krasomil) @silent.green  @adfd.monument @canerteker__ @javier_blanco_sur @stafylakiskostis @noursokhon @runzil__o @allapopp @pustotalitarism @tatarkyzlar @tiara_roxanne_ @beyond_counterpoint @lukasdeclerckck @marcinpiet @dania_paralaxe @ctmfestival #berlinartweek #performance #memoryculture #mediaart #berlinculture

AŞ, one year ago at @dock_11_ 🖤 Last year, we gathered around one table at DOCK 11 for AŞ: sharing food, stories, music, memories and blessings. It was such a special evening, and we’re very happy to bring the dinner ceremony back once again. This Sunday, September 13, AŞ returns as part of Transgressive Memory Festival @ecommemoration at @silent.green Around one table, we’ll gather again to eat, remember, listen and spend an evening together, surrounded by the world of our AŞ game, music and installation. We can’t wait to do it all over again. 🖤 September 13, 6 PM silent green Kulturquartier, Betonhalle Berlin Photos from AŞ at DOCK 11, 2025 by @ana.grancho

With Berlin Art Week 2026 kicking off this Wednesday, September 9, a generous selection of events are taking place across the city. At Pickle Bar, Filipka Rutkowska presents ‘The Iron Lipstick’ where the queered spectre of Margaret Thatcher performs reanimated versions of her iconic speeches that call for the abolition of gender, despite the politician’s anti-gay politics. Openness, possibility and relational fluidity also take form in the performance ‘soft thought’ by LABOUR at KW as part of the Kyiv Biennial. In this piece, increasingly fractured political and social tensions are tended to by exploring listening as a way of inhabiting uncertainty together. The four-hour piece has no fixed beginning or end, remaining in continuous flux, as percussion, spatialized sound, ecstatic dance, intimate conversations, moving image, and live acts emerge, dissolve, and reconfigure throughout the evening. See the full list at the link in bio.
