Ohne Wohnung, ohne Obdach, ohne Hoffnung? Finissage der Freifläche „Mitten unter uns. Wohnungslose Frauen* in Berlin“

In the organizer's words:

At the end of the exhibition of the open space project "Mitten unter uns. Homeless women* in Berlin" by the querstadtein association at BERLIN GLOBAL, we look back and forward together. Over drinks and snacks, we will talk to you about developments and the current situation for homeless people in Berlin.

PROGRAM

Jennifer Fielding, Managing Director of querstadtein e.V., looks back with Susanne Gerull, Professor of Theory and Practice of Social Work at the Alice Salomon University of Applied Sciences Berlin, and exhibition protagonist Susanne Hinneberg on the past two years since the opening of Freifläche:

What has changed? What is the situation for homeless people in the city? How can cultural and social participation be made possible? What needs to change?

A string trio from the Musethica e.V. project will provide the musical framework.

Musethica e.V. combines musical training with social commitment and cultural participation. Maria Winiarski (viola), Kristina Winiarski (cello) and Alva Holm (violin) will play works by Bach and Mozart.

Clemens Poldrack, project manager at querstadtein e.V., will host the evening.

PARTICIPANTS

Dr. Susanne Gerull is Professor of Theory and Practice of Social Work with a focus on poverty, unemployment, homelessness and low-threshold social work at the Alice Salomon University of Applied Sciences Berlin. In 2003, she completed her doctorate at the Otto Suhr Institute for Political Science at the Free University of Berlin with a dissertation on the topic of "Official measures in the event of imminent loss of housing due to rent debts".

Prof. Dr. Gerull is a (supporting) member of various associations and initiatives, including Selbstvertretung wohnungsloser Menschen e. V., Förderverein der Wohnungslosenhilfe in Berlin e. V., Arbeitskreis Wohnungsnot Berlin and Berliner Initiative gegen Gewalt an Frauen (BIG e.V.).

Susanne Hinneberg is a city guide for querstadtein e.V. Her tour leads mainly through Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf. Born in (West) Berlin, Susanne Hinneberg has known Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf since she was a child. From an early age, she commuted between the world of sophisticated life with art, culture and luxurious stores along the Ku'damm, but also visible poverty - and not just in the side streets. As a city guide for querstadtein e.V., Susanne talks about the right to housing, social housing and real estate speculation, cultural participation and poverty in old age. About how homelessness can affect anyone. And how it feels to suddenly lose your apartment and no longer have a home. She is actively involved in the "Union for Homeless Rights".

Jennifer Fielding is the managing director of querstadtein e.V. She designs and accompanies educational formats from the perspective of (formerly) homeless people and was project manager of the open space "Mitten unter uns. Homeless women* in Berlin". She is committed to social justice and the fair distribution of resources. As a social scientist and historian, she studied the transmission of trauma during her studies.

Jennifer Fielding is a member of the board of INST, the International Network of Social Tours and querstadtein, and a member of the working group Wohnungsnot Berlin and the working group QUEER*WOHNEN.

Clemens Poldrack is project manager at querstadtein e.V. He supervised the development of the open space "Mitten unter uns. Homeless women* in Berlin". At querstadtein, he is actively involved in the conception of educational formats from the perspective of those affected. He also oversees the involvement of (formerly) homeless people as experts at political and scientific events. As a social and political scientist, he worked in research on civil engagement, volunteering and social movements during his studies.

Musethica is a training method that combines the development of young female musicians with social engagement. Within a week, musicians play ten to 20 concerts in social institutions: from neighborhood centers and refugee shelters, hospices and senior residences to clinics and prisons. Musethica concerts are primarily aimed at people who are unable to attend a concert due to their particular living situation. In this way, Musethica creates performance opportunities and learning spaces for musicians while also promoting social participation.

Maria Winiarski is an internationally renowned violist, chamber musician and artistic director based in Berlin. As a chamber musician, Maria Winiarski has performed in venues such as the Konzerthaus Berlin, the Konserthuset Stockholm, the Tel-Aviv Museum, the Bangalore International Center and the Auditorio de Zaragoza. She is a regular guest with leading orchestras worldwide. She is also the founder and artistic director of the Swedish branch of the international association Musethica and will provide the musical framework for the finissage together with Kristina Winiarski (cello) and Alva Holm (violin).
