Building bridges: A transdisciplinary evaluation lab for participatory performing arts
Hajusom Artist Lab: Inclusive art practice, open to all young people, but especially those with a refugee or migrant background and/or experience of racism. We develop strategies, promote creative formats and network with partners to strengthen social participation and equal opportunities through the independent performing arts, with a focus on the care principle.
Our lab promotes the artistic practice of young people, with a special focus on those with a refugee or migrant background and/or experience of racism. To this end, we offer workshops to highlight their diversity of experiences and forms of expression and generate artistic impulses. An additional focus of our work is to establish connections with actors from the fields of art, politics and education. Through the exchange of ideas, the formation of partnerships and the joint implementation of projects, we promote synergies and support the sustainable development of the sector. Our discussions and artistic contributions are documented in an audio feature that not only records the results, but also enables the publication of the artistic works created during the lab. In this way, we contribute to the creation of a comprehensive artistic expression that reflects the diverse perspectives and voices of our target groups. Our holistic approach supports the exchange of knowledge and the sustainable development of artistic practices in our target group and contributes to strengthening equal opportunities and social participation through art.

Hip-Hop or what?
Write your own text! With Katrin Seddig
You want to write a hip-hop lyric? You want to write lyrics because you have something to say, because something is bothering you, because you have things inside you that you want to tell the world, but you don't know how or whether you can do it? You can!
You can write a good hip-hop text, a poem, a prose text that has rhythm, that works when performed. Because that's the kind of text we're talking about here. Rhythmic texts.
But if you then realize that this is not your kind of text at all, that you tell a different story, slower, more flowing, then that's OK too, because this workshop is an experiment, a work with you. It's about you, your language, your sound and your themes.
In the course of this workshop, we'll look at hip-hop and other rhythmic lyrics, see how and why they work for us or not. We'll write our own lyrics, try out different forms, discuss it all and get better at it. You get better.
This is all a journey, an experiment. If you have the confidence and can withstand criticism, are prepared to deal with other texts, are keen to write, then it works. I'm not a teacher, we're not a school, we want to have fun, but still do something good, learn something, get ahead.
It's not about how others write and speak, but how you write and speak. We complement each other and learn from each other because we are different and can do different things. Different origins, different imprints, bring different forms of language and expression to the course and weave them into something new and interesting.
At the end, you know what you want, what you can already do, maybe you'll present your favorite text that you like yourself in a slightly larger group (in a final presentation?) If you want. Otherwise not. Otherwise you might be writing lyrics for Kendrick Lamar or Missy Elliot next year. They'll pay you a million for it. For sure!

We are delighted to introduce you to the new Performance LAB, which opens on March 15 under the direction of Jacqueline Saki Aslan at Hajusom.
In several workshops over the next six months, participants will engage artistically and physically with feminist narratives around the theme of arrival. They will be able to try out techniques from the fields of sound, movement, image and text. A joint artistic intervention will be developed, which will be shown in September. There will be workshops lasting 2-3 hours as well as workshop blocks lasting one or more days.
The project is primarily aimed at women and queer people aged between 18 and 29 and takes place in a gender- and racism-sensitive setting.
We invite interested parties to a meeting on March 15 at Hajusom in Feldstraße to get to know each other and find out more.
Registration & info: info@hajusom.de or saki.aslan@gmail.com

As part of Hajusom Rap Squad
with Oscar Minich
Create / Explore!
Every one of your idols started out small. With us you can take your first steps towards beatmaking/rapping/singing, and I'll show you how easy it is to create a song yourself, find flows and melodies to record your first own track.
It doesn't matter how much experience you have, in the end all that matters is that you want to make your own music, the rest will come naturally.
Dates will be announced shortly.
