Much of a muchness, Mad Tea Party performative gathering and exhibition in
Signal Window at Emergency Project Room run by Chto Delat Collective, Berlin, 2024
Oda Projesi was invited to one of the “Mad Tea Party” workshop series
by Chto Delat’s Emergency Project Room. Özge Açıkkol and Seçil Yersel
from Oda Projesi took the title from Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland by
L. Carroll from which the title of the workshop series is also inspired
from: “The Mad Tea Party”. The concept “much of muchness” helped us
and the partipants to discuss the meaning of trying to find a space and
time for ourselves, for our bodies, minds, thoughts, acts and motions in
these times of “muchness" of all kinds. Muchness is integrated in variety,
richness, plurality but also in the incredible amount of displacements,
migrations and movements done with human interaction as the result of
different types of violence taking place in the world right now. A
ceremony took place in two parts where we focused on the complexity
of "being human” by creating an encounter where we wished to visualize
approaches both from human and non-human perspective through these
questions: What do you think is muchness? What kind of a non-human
are you?
