Ambasada & Kajbo

When I Visit Home

Introductory talk by Ambasada and workshop with artist Saša Tatić

17:00 - 19:00

In her many years of artistic work exploring the interaction of culture, language, and community, Saša Tatić has recently focused on stereotypical linguistic phrases regularly exchanged in relation to her family and friends in Bosnia. Questions like 'When are you coming?' or 'When are you visiting again?' alongside statements such as 'It's easy for you over there' and other similar emotionally charged formations which have become almost everyday communication tools.

Using her photo archive as a trigger for idiom appropriation through humour, recognisability, and critical thinking, Tatić will lead a workshop that explores cultural similarities and differences in experiences within Berlin diverse community.

Conducted in English, the workshop will accommodate a maximum of 15 participants, hence early registration is encouraged and you must register for the event here.

Ambasada (embassy in English), founded by Hannah Marquardt and Jelena Vukmanović, is a Berlin-based interdisciplinary platform for contemporary art and sociopolitical discourse, with a regional focus on former Yugoslavia. They aim to create support structures to highten the visibility of art and discourse from the region. The platform is a growing network of artists, cultural workers, curators, researchers and activists working between the region of former Yugoslavia and Berlin. Ambasada’s vision is to strengthen resistant positions against nationalist, fascist, and patriarchal ideologies using the lens of art and culture, and to highlight marginalised positions.

Kajbo concert

From 20:00 until late

Kajbo is a fictional character created by Boris Zujko and Michael Schmacke in 2022. During live performances, Boris Zujko takes on the role of Kajbo and Michael Schmacke takes on the role of presenter.

All the people who have seen it think it's really cool :)

Are you into electro? Are you normal? Where are you from? These are just a few questions that are reflected in Kajbo's songs.

Musically, Kajbo was influenced by Trio, Kraftwerk, Detroit techno, new wave and industrial music. Kajbo describe themselves as ‘better than Rammstein’.
