We live in an era in which language is increasingly politicised and instrumentalised: it is as much a vector of aggression as of solidarity. While the latter has received much attention, it is equally important to understand the dynamics of linguistic violence, its rhetorical and philological sources and its affective impact. The Slurs project looks at dialects and insults specific to particular languages. While Slavs and Tatars focus on Eastern Europe, the Caucasus region and Central Asia from the perspective of minorities in Berlin, this geographical area of study will expand to include research on diasporas in a French context.

'China to Launch Artificial Moons to Light Up Night Skies', was the headline in 2018. These synthetic moons were said to be designed to save electricity by lighting up the night sky in Chengdu, Sichuan, from 2020. Manipulations of the Earth's atmosphere are already operational in our daily lives in very mundane, unobtrusive and insidious ways. Artificial weather events are implemented in our infrastructures; from shopping malls to laboratories, while tear gas and other pollutants are used as weapons to make the air unbreathable. The well-tempered is a science fiction work by artists, thinkers and writers. Invited to reflect on the relationship between atmosphere and discipline, the contributors imagine a meteorological world unfolding in two performative chapters; one in Paris, the other in Berlin.  Participants  Jade Barget (Curator, France), Andrés Baron (Artist, France), Wang Yuyan (Artist, France), Nile Koetting (Choreographer, Germany), Thuy-Han Nguyen-Chi (Artist, Germany), Tianzhuo Chen (Artist, France), Elizabeth Gabrielle Lee (Artist, USA), Xia Jia (Author, Canada)  Organisers  Soft power very soft (Germany), Trauma Bar und Kino (Germany), Espace Niemeyer (France)
