YES! Association / Föreningen JA! is happy to announce that we will participate in the project WIR SPIELEN (WE PLAY) at NGBK in Berlin.
WIR SPIELEN (WE PLAY) is a series of events concerned with the topic of “we”, an inescapable utterance in the formation of collectivities, two letters that involve alignment, affects, bodies, spatial boundaries and political realities.
YES! Association / Föreningen JA! are invited to make act 5 happen on JULY 23 2013 7PM
