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.

SKETCHES OF EASTERN UKRAINE
«Searching for meanings until February 2022
Life after February 2022»

Screening of films by Freefilmers, followed by a Q&A session with Iryna Berezneva (co-founder of Freefilmers), moderated by Şirin Fulya Erensoy
As an expression of solidarity with Ukrainians, Chromatic Wednesdays invited Freefilmers to this episode. The collective from Mariupol presented three of their short films reflecting eastern Ukrainian cities before and since the Russian invasion in 2022. The screenings were followed by a Q&A session with Freefilmers co-founder Iryna Berezneva.

«Вы шо, тут металл воруете? (Відновлення простору)» / «Revitalization of space» (2018, 25 min) by Sasha Protyah & Oksana Kazmina The film team of the Creative East project travels through eastern Ukrainian cities to explore abandoned areas and buildings. The people they meet offer different perspectives on the places they often find abandoned, but which have sometimes been, for example, revitalized through rave parties, transformed through temporary art interventions or turned into a skate park.

«Шо шо? (Східноукраїнський діалог)» / «Eastern Ukrainian dialogue» (2018, 25 min) by Sasha Protyah & Oksana Kazmina The film examines the issues and possibilities of building cultural dialogue in eastern Ukrainian cities. The film crew analyzes the multicultural history of the region, the difficulties of expressing one’s culture and attempts to establish cross-regional dialogue. The film aims to create space for expressing different points of view on cultures of the eastern region of Ukraine, rather than giving ready-made answers.

«My favorite job» (2022, 32 min) by Sasha Protyah Since Russian troops surrounded the Ukrainian city of Mariupol in the spring 2022, the civilian population has been exposed to Russian military action. Therefore, volunteers started evacuating people from Mariupol to Zaporizhzhia in mid-March 2022. The film shows the risky daily work of the volunteers: they meet after each trip to share information, support each other and talk about their traumatic experiences.

Freefilmers is a cinemovement and NGO from Mariupol in East Ukraine founded by Sasha Protyah and Iryna Berezneva and including Oksana Kazminka, Yulia Serdyukova and Natasha Tseliubavtsov. They are a collective of filmmakers and artists, originally from Mariupol and now based in different parts of the world. For the past five years, they have been working with topics of urban transformations in the region of eastern Ukraine and its multicultural vibes. Their research also includes a focus on the working-class creativity and industrial past and present of post-socialist cities. Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine on 24 February 2022, however, their main focus has shifted to building a network of solidarity and support for Ukrainians who are suffering from and fighting against the Russian aggression.
