Mute/Unmute is a podcast and seminar by Astrid Mania, with the support of Noi Fuhrer (WS2021/21 and SoSe 2021), Rahel grote Lambers and Anne Meerpohl. The idea of this podcast is to introduce and discuss art works, theories and incidents that relate to questions like: who is allowed to speak, who’s not? What can be said, what not? Whose voices have been suppressed? What kind of narratives and histories? What violence do we exert when speaking about others? What should we urgently talk about?

Mute/Unmute is meant to be active during the summer semester 2022, but it can potentially run much longer. We welcome contributions from HFBK students and staff and beyond. For more info / list of contributions please see https://pad.hfbk.net/Mute_Unmute and  / or get in touch with rahel.grote-lambers@hfbk-hamburg.de or astrid.mania@hfbk-hamburg.de

In this episode of Mute/Unmute, We, Aslak Warming and Emma Kallan are having a conversation with the creators of the upcoming documentary film, with the working title “Små skaller” (translation: “Small shells”). This documentary will be the debut of artist Evo and journalist Sol (DK). 

The film deals with trans- and non binary ideas of gender from the perspective of children.
It will explore how children, whose gender is outside of the binary gender spectrum, experience the world around them.
