bak.ma archive collective collects and organizes audiovisual media, including activist recordings, feature documentaries, and raw footage from Turkey and beyond.

Two collective members Bilge Emir and Özge Çelikaslan present a performative installation combining archival footage, live drawing, and text as part of the event KÜNSTLERISCHE POSITIONEN IN GEWALTKONTEXTEN at Theater Rampe.

Using footage from the bak.ma online media archive of social movements, they focus on migration as both a personal and collective experience. The interplay of video installation, hand-drawn interventions, and spoken text creates a layered reflection on displacement, borders, and memory deconstructing historical narratives through a live, evolving performance. Weaving past and present images with real-time artistic intervention, their performative installation invites the audience to engage with shifting landscapes of migration and resistance.

A collaboration between Theater Rampe and Akademie Schloss Solitude.

At the end of the evening, there will be a joint discussion with all participating artists.
