Charley enhanced 

This piece is a wish to be able to change and craft our environment. Charley represents the walls, imaginations, bodies and relations that we want to enhance. Can we make the invisible visible?
Charley Enhanced explores multiple temporalities and translations, where the body is seen in relation to documentation and archiving. Things build up and break down, activities and objects have changeable lifespans and possible virtuals are created.
Riviere,Gasiorek&Stigsdatter is made up of Olivia Riviere, Emilia Gasiorek and Nanna Stigsdatter. Together we develop methods for producing physical and performative explorations within a collective structure.
This work has been made possible through Deutsche Bank funding. We would like to thank Volksroom, Brussels and Dansatelier, Copenhagen.
Times: 8pm  
Venue: at The Place

Aftonbladets stenhårda linje

Aftonbladets stenhårda linje

>>Hänger ni med? När ett israeliskt högerparti som vill bevara status quo får 23.5 procent av rösterna siar Aftonbladet krig, hopplöshet och elände. När en palestinsk terroristorganisation som motsätter sig alla former av kompromisser och vars yttersta mål är förintandet av staten Israel får 44.5 procent av rösterna korkar Aftonbladet upp champanjen: ”Leve demokratin!”<<

Sweden's New Approach to Jihadis: Jobs!

Sweden's New Approach to Jihadis: Jobs

<<"Sahlin has chosen to turn her back on Kurds, Armenians, Syriacs and Assyrians," writes Alp. "This is a hard slap in the face to all those who have lost a family member, friend, acquaintance or relative who has fought against the IS, and even to democracy in Sweden and abroad."

Bad news

Yekbun Alp's condemnation is bad news indeed for Sahlin and her Social Democratic and Conservative backers. There are probably upwards of 100,000 Kurds in Sweden and a great number of them are likely to be as angry as Ms. Alp.
Apparently, it has come as a surprise to Sweden's political establishment that not all third-world immigrants form one indistinguishable mass, and that not all Middle Eastern immigrants love each other or have the same political interests. This means that if you side with one group, you are likely to alienate another.
Mona Sahlin and her friends may face some hard choices.>>

ISIS executing 'educated women' in new wave of horror, says U.N. - Al Arabiya News

ISIS executing 'educated women' in new wave of horror, says U.N. - Al Arabiya News



The United Nations on Tuesday decried numerous executions of civilians in Iraq by the Islamic State group, warning that educated women appeared to be especially at risk.

The jihadist group is showing a “monstrous disregard for human life” in the areas it controls in Iraq, the U.N. human rights office said.

The group, which controls large swathes of territory in Iraq and in neighbouring war-ravaged Syria, last week published pictures of the “crucifixions” of two men accused of being bandits, and of a woman being stoned to death, allegedly for adultery.

Numerous other women have also reportedly been executed recently in ISIS-controlled areas, including Mosul, spokeswoman Ravina Shamdasani told reporters.

She said “educated, professional women, particularly women who have run as candidates in elections for public office, seem to be particularly at risk.”

“In just the first two weeks of this year, reports indicate that three female lawyers were executed,” Shamdasani said.
