Outtakes Cinema: Film, Talk & Zine Release
On August 22, the open-air cinema Outtakes Cinema, in collaboration with Urbane Praxis e.V. and frachtkante (khisdapaze e.V.), invites you to a critical examination of spatial violence in major cities such as Cape Town, New York, and São Paulo. Gentrification, racial displacement, postcolonialism, and power imbalances are issues that city dwellers face on a daily basis—issues that not only have spatial consequences but also take a toll on the social psyche. The film sheds light on the struggles, challenges, and successes of city dwellers who are fighting for the right to their city.
Together, we’ll watch the film “Not in My Neighborhood” (original version) by Kurt Otabenga Orderson and Najma Nuriddin. The screening will be preceded by a discussion featuring Abdul Dube (in person) and Kurt Otabenga Orderson (online) as guests.
We’re introducing the new collective print zine on the topic of self-determined urban practice. The zine was created during two workshops in collaboration with Frauen machen Druck, the Palestinian Feminist Collective, and Abdul Dube, and presents the participants’ work. The zine is an attempt to find answers to questions such as: What does self-determination mean? How can we act in solidarity and with self-efficacy? What are our needs? And how can we take action ourselves? The zine will be available free of charge during the event.
Program:
Starting at 4:00 p.m.

Gespräch mit Aysha Amin, Abdul Dube und Kurt Otabenga Oderson (Regisseur von „Not in my
Neighbourhood“) auf Englisch
Aysha Amin (DK) is an artist, curator, and architect from Gellerup, Aarhus, where she founded the Andromeda 8220 Gallery. In addition to her artistic work, she leads educational and architectural projects for young people in public housing neighborhoods through “Vi Fællesskaber Vores By.” She has written for the French architecture criticism magazine “The Funambulist,” co-curated the Aarhus program for the Copenhagen Architecture Festival, and served as a jury member and co-curator for the spring exhibition at Kunsthal Charlottenborg. Today, she is also a jury member for Realdania Underværker. Her work has been featured in architectural publications as well as in group exhibitions in Denmark, at the Berlin Biennale, and at the Venice Biennale. In 2025, she received the Aarhus Art Prize Solo Award in recognition of her wide-ranging artistic practice in Aarhus, which led to her first solo exhibition at Kunsthal Aarhus in 2026. Over the past ten years, through exhibitions, writing, teaching, archival work, and festivals, Amin has developed a body of work that encompasses architecture, art, politics, and the environment. In doing so, she explores how and why we live the way we do—from a “both-and” perspective that incorporates diverse identities, memories, languages, and marginalized places.
Abdul Dube is a multidisciplinary artist, designer, curator, and workshop facilitator based in Berlin-Neukölln. Abdul’s work explores issues of multicultural belonging, racism and resistance, intersectional solidarity, cultural heritage, sustainability, “Black Imagination,” and activism. Abdul’s work in the field of cultural heritage includes leading the workshop “Antiblack Racism in Our Public Archives” in collaboration with Black Archives Sweden, teaching, writing texts, and designing zines for the Horizon 2020-funded project “European Colonial Heritage Modalities in Entangled Cities,” as well as serving as a creative liaison for the education department of the Aros Museum. He is currently establishing a local zine archive in Berlin called “khaya practice.” The archive will offer days with free access to production as well as research sessions by appointment. Starting in the fall of 2026, a series of creative workshops will also be offered.
