Chto Delat Emergency Project Room

Вот еще одна прекрасная фотография из книги. Это маленький Борис с родителями

А это ещё раз приглашение по-русски

Друзья, ждём вас в нашем пространстве 13 октября в 19-00 на очень важное и волнующие событие - презентацию новой книги бесед Светланы Басковой с Борисом Гройсом "Гройс о Гройсе. Берлинские беседы со Светланой Басковой". Как всегда у нас, дискуссия будет жаркой. Приходите и готовьте вопросы.

Событие пройдёт на русском языке

На сборник интервью Светланы Басковой с философом Борисом Гройсом можно смотреть как на «пособие по инакомыслию», по крайней мере именно так предлагается сделать в издательской аннотации. Однако интереснее увидеть в этой недлинной книге художественное произведение со сложным концептуальным бэкграундом, считает Александр Карпов.

Вечер будет модерировать Саша Карпов, который написал вот эту рецензию на книгу. Очень интересный текст, с очень неожиданной стороны Саша заходит

Dear friends,
On October 13, our space will host a very important and exciting event — the presentation of Svetlana Baskova and Boris Groys’s new book of conversations, Groys on Groys.
As always at our space, the discussion will be warm — and perhaps even hot! :)

The event will be held in Russian.

Here is the cover and one of the photographs from the book: Boris Groys and his wife Natalia

Look at this beautiful old cinema where our film Songs of Hope and Despair will be screened tonight.
We made the film with our friends in 2025. Last May, when we stopped in Rijeka for three days and stayed with our dear friend Kevin Kenjar, we saw these red velvet seats, this curtains, and these beautiful vintage posters — and we decided that we absolutely had to show our film here, even though at that time it wasn’t quite born yet.
And today, the dream comes true.

Dears, hello from Croatia!
Dima and I are currently on a residency in the beautiful city of Rijeka. It’s absolutely wonderful here, and we’re still swimming in the sea!
But! We also have a pretty busy programme, so if you happen to be somewhere nearby, we’d be very happy to see you

Berlin politisches Spiel: an RPG and board game event dedicated to Berlin elections and gamified political education, happening just two days before the vote.

Built on our past workshops with migrant teens in Berlin, this session lets players run campaigns, take part in debates, build coalitions, and test political board games.

The event will be held in English and Russian, with mutual translation available so everyone can comfortably participate.

The program includes: quick theatrical icebreakers and political advertising tasks; debates & coalitions, tackling real Berlin urban issues, budgeting, and negotiation; and a board game night with games including Rätselräume (educational game about neighborhood, xenophobia, and solidarity), Secret Hitler (a classic social deduction game), Guatemala 1954 (a rare historical-themed party game), and Tax the Rich (trick-taking game with the possibility to run a class or feminist revolution).

📍 Chto Delat Emergency Room Project
⏰ September 18, 18:00

Dear all, here’s a fascinating and politically meaningful event dreamed up by Make, a renowned master of board games — and games of all kinds!

What happens after we lose?
Do we fall — or do we get up?
Fell Down – Get Up is a multimedia installation about defeat, resistance, solidarity and the stubborn possibility of hope.
Three films, a lecture performance, collages and a participatory game come together in one immersive environment — moving between the Peasants’ War, German history, migration, political repression and the crises of our present.
At the heart of the installation is Songs of Hope and Despair, a feature-length political fairy tale filmed in the former mining town of Hettstedt. Inspired by Werner Tübke’s Panorama of the Peasants’ War and Rainer Werner Fassbinder’s The Niklashausen Journey, it follows a strange procession of characters searching for justice in a world shaped by invisible forces.
There are no professional actors here. The characters were created through collective improvisation, personal experience, humour and vulnerability.
Fell Down – Get Up asks a simple but difficult question:
How do we begin again when everything seems to have already been lost?
Come into the story.
Fall down. Get up. Try again.

Dear friends, come join us this Friday, September 11, from 7 to 11 PM
at After the Bucher.

We’re opening a new exhibition.
Come celebrate with us!

TONIGHT at 7 PM!!!

В этот четверг, 3 сентября, в 18:30 идём в Еврейский музей Берлина (Lindenstraße 9–14, 10969) на открытие выставки «Противоположность настоящему. Художественные пути к другой современности» (Das Gegenteil von Jetzt.Künstlerische Wege in eine andere Gegenwart) и зовём вас с собой!

Среди участников выставки — наши друзья Chto Delat International вместе с Ангелиной Давыдовой. На выставке представлена их работа A Comprehensive Self-Organized Amateur Expedition in Search of Losses and Discoveries.

В эпоху кризисов, в тревожном настоящем, Еврейский музей Берлина ищет нечто иное, нечто лучшее —противоположность нынешнему состоянию.
Двенадцать художников помогают в этом поиске. Они исследуют существующую реальность в поисках путей к другой современности. Некоторые обращаются к еврейским традициям и наследию, другие — к таким мыслителям, как Эрнст Блох или Теодор В. Адорно, которые даже в мрачные времена выступали за возможность построения лучшего общества.
Выставка исследует способность отдельных людей и сообществ представлять себе лучшую жизнь для всех — способность, которая может развиваться и становиться сильнее.
 
Приходите встречаться, смотреть выставку и поддержать наших друзей!
