FROM HARLEM TO BERLIN, KINGSTON TO BASEL, Performative Lesung Audre Lorde

In the living room of the feminist library, interdisciplinary artist Jasmine Tutum will create a sensory space in which the texts of US-American poet, essayist and activist Audre Lorde (1934–1992, in her own words:’Black, lesbian, mother, warrior, poet’) can be experienced. The event is planned as a shared listening connection: there will be a 45-minute block of concentrated reading and listening, but visitors are invited to come and go as they please and engage with the texts on display in their own way and at their own pace. The reading will be held in English.

Europas Grenzen in der Sahara

Discussion/Presentation

📣 Europe’s Borders in the Sahara – Migration, Deportations, and Solidarity - With Azizou Chéhou (Coordinator of Alarme Phone Sahara in
Agadez)

Event: April 17 / 7:00 p.m. at Schuppen, Mattenstrasse 74/76

European border policies do not end at the EU’s external borders. Deals with states in North and West Africa aim to enforce repressive control over migration and flight far south of the Mediterranean coast—with disastrous consequences for people fleeing their homes. Thousands die not only in the Mediterranean or the Atlantic, but also on the routes through the Sahara. Alarme Phone Sahara (APS) works in Agadez and northern Niger to help people who find themselves in distress on these routes.

At this information evening, Azizou Chéhou will provide insights into these developments and the day-to-day work of Alarme Phone Sahara—from desert rescues and support for the deported to the political documentation of the consequences of European externalization policies. At the same time, the event explores perspectives on transnational solidarity against a regime that systematically violates human rights.

The event is part of the Three-Country Action for Borderless Solidarity, taking place on April 18 in Basel/Weil/Hunigue.
