In the frame of the final conference "The Marshrutka Project: Spatial

Dynamics of Informal and Shared Mobilities [Nov. 8-10, 2018], you are invited:

The photographer CHIARA DAZI will show a preview of her ongoing photo series MARSHRUTKASCAPE with images from Georgia, the Republic of Moldova, and Kaliningrad (Russia). Up and down the minibuses, and along the roads and stories of the everyday post-Soviet landscape.

MARSHRUTKA STORIES: A VISUAL ARCHIVE presents a series of short texts and images by doctoral and post-doctoral researchers of The Marshrutka Project ("Fluid mobilities for cities in transformation: Spatial dynamics of marshrutkas in Central Asia and the Caucasus"). It offers a modest and inconsistent collection of marshrutka-related narratives and visuals, exposing a tiny share of the ways marshrutkas can be an entry point in understanding post-Soviet socio-spatial and political-economic transformations.

+++

In einer 2-tägigen Popup-Ausstellung diesen Freitag & Samstag zeigt die italienische Fotografin Chiara Dazi (Frau Lösung) eine Vorschau ihrer Fotoserie #Marshrutkascape aus Georgien, der Republik Moldau und Kaliningrad (Russische Föderation). Während der Reise in typischen Sammeltaxis (auch als „Marshrutkas“ bekannt) entlang der Straßen der Post-Sovietischen Landschaft entstanden Bilder, die sich auf den Alltag und die Geschichten ihrer Reisenden beziehen.

Terrorism Trial Opens In Karachayevo-Cherkessia Twenty-nine men went on trial in Cherkessk last week on multiple charges of plotting to overthrow the republic's leadership and seize power; membership of illegal armed formations; and the attempted murder of Russian police officers.

Russia, NATO At Odds Over Planned Georgia Exercises Russian President Dmitry Medvedev says a NATO-led military exercise scheduled for May in Georgia would be dangerous and hinder efforts to rebuild relations between Moscow and the Western alliance. But NATO insists it will go ahead with the long-planned exercises, despite Russian demands to call them off. More

Azerbaijan Continues To Eschew Genuine Democracy The passage largely unopposed last month of a referendum to allow Ilham Aliyev unlimited terms as president shows how he and his father before him have largely destroyed the conditions for Azerbaijan to develop into a democratic society. More

Waiting For A Breakthrough Speculation has been rife that Turkey may be close to reopening its border with Armenia and restoring the diplomatic ties it broke over the Armenia-Azerbaijan war. But Ankara's desire to include progress over Nagorno-Karabakh could signal a more go-slow approach. More

Are Predictions That Armenia-Turkey Rapprochement Doomed Overstated? The publication in the Turkish daily "Hurriyet" in late March of a report that Armenia and Turkey had reached the final stage of drafting a protocol on the conditions and time frame for establishing formal diplomatic relations and opening their common border gave rise to widespread euphoria and unrealistic expectations that such a deal could be finalized within weeks. That euphoria was swiftly tempered by skepticism when Azerbaijan, which has historically regarded Turkey as its closest ally, reacted with anger and outrage. More

Chechnya Still Bound To Moscow By Economic Weakness Despite its seemingly arbitrary decision to call an end to the Chechnya counterterrorism operation, the Kremlin could equally arbitrarily launch a new one, even if it's just to remind Ramzan Kadyrov which side his bread is buttered on. More

Georgia Protests Resume, But Deadlock Persists Opposition protests resumed in Tbilisi after the four-day Easter break, but the number of participants -- some 10,000 -- fell far short of the 200,000 that protest leaders hope to mobilize over the next 10 days in what one of them last week termed "the final stage" of the campaign to pressure President Mikheil Saakashvili to resign. Meanwhile, the prospects for dialogue between the authorities and the opposition appear as remote as ever, with the two sides insisting on mutually exclusive agendas. More

Moldova Vote Highlights Monitoring Doubts The monitoring arm of the OSCE has long been seen as the gold standard for judging whether elections were free and fair. But in a series of recent cases, most recently in Moldova, the group's judgment has been called into question after it gave its stamp of approval to votes that were later revealed to be flawed. More

Radical Opposition Barred From South Ossetian Parliament Ballot Eight months after Russian President Dmitry Medvedev formally recognized South Ossetia and Abkhazia as independent states, South Ossetia's Central Election Commission (CEC) has barred the radical opposition People's Party from participating in the parliamentary elections to be held on May 31. More

Georgian Opposition Pledges To Renew Protests, Denies Reports Of Disunity Georgian opposition leaders have announced that they will suspend mass public rallies to mark the Orthodox Easter holiday.

At the same time, two prominent opposition figures have rejected media speculation of tactical disagreements among the various opposition forces that have aligned to campaign for the president's resignation and early presidential elections. More

EU Envoy Urges Government-Opposition Dialogue In an effort to facilitate a peaceful end to antigovernment protests in Georgia, European Union special envoy Peter Semneby traveled to Tbilisi on April 16 to hold separate meetings with opposition leaders. More

Kadyrov's Takeover There's an old anecdote about Chechnya that runs: "How soon after the withdrawal of Russian forces from the republic will Ramzan Kadyrov be killed?" The answer: "He will be killed several hours before the withdrawal." More

Chechnya's Independence Of Sorts Russia has declared an end to its antiterrorist operations in Chechnya. At least some Russian troops are expected to be withdrawn as a result. It's not clear, however, when the withdrawal will start and how many Russian servicemen will be pulled out. More

EU Envoy In Tbilisi, As Opposition Appears Split A European Union envoy is in Tbilisi to try to mediate an end to a week-long political standoff between President Mikheil Saakashvili and opposition leaders who are demanding his resignation. Street protests continue in the Georgia capital, but some opposition leaders are hinting that they might be ready to negotiate. More

The Meaning Of Chechnya's New 'Independence' Russian President Dmitry Medvedev's April 16 decree formally ending the counterterror operation in Chechnya is being touted as a major propaganda victory for Chechen Republic head Ramzan Kadyrov, and possibly even as heralding the republic's de facto independence from the Russian Federation. In fact, however, it will change very little on the ground. More

Nalchik Indictment Rewrites Recent History The prosecution at the trial of 58 young men charged with participating in the October 13, 2005, multiple attacks on police and security facilities in Nalchik, capital of the Kabardino-Balkaria Republic, has begun to read out the formal indictment against them.

More

Population Census Gets Under Way In Azerbaijan The second census since Azerbaijan became an independent state is expected to confirm current trends with regard to the age structure and ethnic composition of the population. What's not clear is whetherit will confirm and clarify two disturbing demographic trends that have been highlighted over the past few years in the Azerbaijani media: the increasing number of marriages involving girls under the age of consent, and a corresponding steep rise in the illegitimacy rate. More

Azerbaijan Left Out Of Turkey-Armenia Love Fest U.S. President Barack Obama's recent visit was a big boost for Turkey. But a Turkish-Armenian rapprochement was in the works even before Obama was elected president. More

Moscow's Tactics In Chechnya Draw On Stalinist Legacy Josef Stalin is dead, but his spirit lives on in Ramzan Kadyrov. The Chechen leader and his Kremlin backers seem to have closely studied Stalin's methodology: propaganda, information warfare, internments, mop-up operations, and the creation of a personality cult.

PRESSE: Wo liegen Europas Grenzen? (euro|topics)

Le Monde - Frankreich
Wo liegen Europas Grenzen? Angesichts der Krise im Kaukasus setzt sich die Tageszeitung Le Monde mit der Perspektive möglicher EU-Beitrittskandidaten und den Grenzen Europas auseinander. "Die Krise in Georgien und ihre Ausdehnung auf andere Nachbarländer Russlands wie die Ukraine oder Moldawien belebt mittelbar [auch] die Frage der Grenzen der Europäischen Union wieder. ... Zweifellos ist es unmöglich im Voraus zu sagen, wo die Europäische Union endet, aber die Frage taucht jedes Mal auf, wenn die [mögliche] Bewerbung eines neuen Staates mehr oder weniger deutlich erwähnt wird. Die Bewerbung der Türkei steht seit mehreren Jahren auf der Agenda, sowie die des westlichen Balkans. ... Als Reaktion auf die Versuche Russlands, seine alte Einflussbereiche wiederherzustellen, könnte der EU-Beitritt dieser Länder Thema ernsthafter Überlegungen werden. Solche Aussichten liegen allerdings in weiter Ferne, da keines der betroffenen Länder in einer nahen Zukunft bereit ist, beizutreten. Aber die einfache Tatsache, ihnen die Tür einen Spalt aufzumachen ... wäre eine gute Art, ihnen konkret die Solidarität Europas mitzuteilen und vor allem sie dazu anzuregen, sich zu modernisieren, um ihrem zukünftigen Partner näher zu kommen. Die Zeit scheint gekommen zu sein, ihnen eine Hoffnungsbotschaft zu senden. ... Europa muss seine östlichen Grenzen so stark wie möglich festigen. ... Seine Identität wird dadurch vielleicht geschwächt, aber seine Rolle in der Welt wird verstärkt." (04.09.2008)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

MANöVER heißt jetzt Off Europa. Seit 2005 heißt MANöVER Off Europa. Entschiedener als zuvor sucht das Festival nach der Kunst an den Rändern. Nach ungewöhnlichen Arbeitsweisen, nach bewusstseinserweiternden Konzepten, nach (oft) zu Unrecht wenig(er) beachteten Künstlern. Bei der Ausgabe 2007 wurde gerannt, geflogen und übers Meer gefahren, was das Zeug hielt. Man war unterwegs. Eigensinnig, aber einprägsam. Das vor allem verband die ausgewählten Choreographien, Live-Hörspiele, Filme und Theaterstücke, die in verschiedenen Leipziger Spielstätten vom 1. bis zum 4. Dezember gezeigt wurden.

Dass das Festival immer kleiner wird, ist der gegenwärtigen städtischen Fördersituation geschuldet. Mit der Förderung Freier Kunst und Kultur geht es zu Ende; man verbraucht das Geld mit Weltgagen in der "Regionaloper" oder - um einen sportlichen Terminus zu bemühen: man will sich unbedingt tunneln lassen.

Die nächste Ausgabe im Zeitraum 10. - 18. Oktober 2008 wird sich noch einmal der Darstellenden Kunst in den Anrainerstaaten des Schwarzen Meeres widmen. In Kooperation mit dem Dresdner Societaetstheater wird das Festival erstmals in Teilen auch in Dresden zu erleben sein.
