Any community organisers or organisations currently needing or seeking spaces to meet at and organise from:

you are more than welcome to use The Workshop on Forster for any meet-ups you would like to host in person in the heart of Kreuzberg.

As a white woman running this space, I do however also realise it might not be able to provide you with the context you seek. Or might not feel like the right environment to meet in. But do know that the doors are always open and I will make sure to clear the space and schedule for you.

You can reach me via the phone number and email address provided on The Workshop page.

Emergency Relief for Queers & Womxn in Berlin

Dear all

whilst The Workshop on Forster can provide you with a very limited support, especially now that we are facing a serious lock down situation, we are grateful and extremely supportive of other communities who organise funds for those in our communities who need most at the moment.
Please consider donating any small amount you might have!

The Workshop on Forster will remain closed until Sunday March 22nd, at which point the health risks involved reopening a public space will be reassessed.

However, these are solemn times, hence the following exception is put into place: if you would like to use the sound studio, you can make an appointment ahead of time. Only one person can use the studio however and priority is given to people with limited funds and income. Studio use will be for free. This applies to the sound studio and any other work spaces. If you wish to use the salon or gallery space for a meeting, this would be possible for meeting with up to four people maximum. Again, priority is given to those in our communities, who are hit hardest by this crisis financially ... Be kind to one another these days, check in with one another ! And hopefully see you all soon again !

StopMotionFilm über Frauen in der Neuen und extremen Rechten

If you have been to the downstairs spaces of The Workshop in the last 6-8 months, you might have noticed a myriad of small figurines and an incredible set up that looks a little like a doll house, but better!

Well, in fact this is the work of Elisa Nelvand and Larissa (aka Larusch Else and Else Larusch), who are working on a Stop Motion Animation film addressing right wing and right wing extremist tendencies in Germany.

If you can, please support them in their venture! Many, many, many hours have gone into this project already! It has been wonderful to see it grow!

Liebe Freunde!

Seit nun gut 6-8 Monaten arbeiten Elisa Nelvand und Larissa (aka Larusch Else and Else Larusch)in einem der Studios auf der Forsterstrasse an einem aufwendigen Stop Motion Film Projekt!

Viele, viele Stunden sind bereits in das Projekt geflossen, und das Thema scheint mit jedem weiteren Monat relevanter zu werden. Der Film der beiden Künstlerinnen beschäftigt sich mit der Entwicklung rechter und rechtsextremer Strömungen in Deutschland, insbesondere welche Rollen Frauen in den betroffenen Umfeldern einnehmen.

Unterstützt die beiden wenn ihr könnt!!!
