Chromatic Wednesdays is a monthly interdisciplinary event series based in Berlin, organized by visual artist and filmmaker Emre Birişmen and sound artist Melih Sarıgöl. The series brings together various artistic practices, including performance, sound, moving image, and panel discussions, in thematically structured programs at different venues across the city. 

Chromatic Wednesdays, which previously centered around the Apartment Project space in Neukölln, will transition to a mobile and decentralized structure for its upcoming fourth and fifth seasons. This shift aims to encourage stronger collaborations, emphasize site-specific thinking, and build new connections that reflect the social and cultural fabric of Berlin.

CHRONICLES
«Fresh Myths Different Times» by Ulufer Çelik and
Merve Kılıçer
«Fake Lies» by Özgür Erkök Moroder aka sespersi
How do artists approach myths in today’s rationalized world and how do they enact their artistic practice in their own mythical recitals and rituals? In «Fresh Myths Different Times», Ulufer Çelik and Merve Kılıçer merge the reading of poems with live and sampled sounds, accompanied by improvised illustrations by Carmen Jose projected in the space to reflect on past and present events in their homeland. For this edition, they integrated the experiences of the earthquake in Turkey and in Syria in February 2023 into their performance to enable transfer, remembrance and processing of the event in different times. Oral traditions, myths, stories, poems and songs inform their performance, and they activate this knowledge through the means of translation and sound. By confronting pain, trauma and physical memories, the performance itself becomes a form of myth-making and knowledge-sharing.

In the musical journey «Fake Lies», Özgür Erkök Moroder aka sespersi sang own short stories at Chromatic Wednesdays. Traveling from a rabbit hole to the other side of the black hole, the songs followed neo-myths from the future and the fictional selves that have yet to become.

Ulufer Çelik (b. 1992, Antalya) and Merve Kılıçer (b.1987, Istanbul) are independent artists from Turkey who live and work in Rotterdam. In their artistic practice as a duo, they often engage with their ancestral past around Anatolia through artistic research and production, exploring the mediums of sound, performance and text. Along with Jake Caleb and Vlada Predelina, they are co-founders of the Eat-House Cooking Collective (2020) and members of the W1555 Artist Community in Rotterdam South. Together they have exhibited their work in Het Nieuwe Instituut Rotterdam (2019), Corridor Project Space in Amsterdam (2020), Growing Space Rotterdam (2021) and Literature House in Istanbul (2022)

Özgür Erkök Moroder (b. 1981, Turkey) studied art, design and music and has been living in Berlin since 2012. The multidisciplinary artist works on gender and everyday politics as performer, drawer, costume and stage designer, vocal worker, music and video producer. As «sesperisi», Moroder performs a solo SynthPunk opera. Moroder’s works have been shown in international exhibitions including Touch Amplifiers at Akademie der Künste in Berlin (2018), MAXXI Museum in Rome (2015) and Zombie and Dummy, Soho in Ottakring in Vienna (2014). Moroder has been nominated for the National Gallery Prize for Young Art 2015 (Berlin) and has participated in the IAAB Residency Program in Basel (2010). Moroder is a chairperson and workshop leader at Young Arts Neukölln (since 2018), workshop leader for costume design at Jugendkunstschule Schöneberg (since 2023) and was a member of the art collective Ha Za Vu Zu in Istanbul (2005-2022).
