PSR Collective
PSR is a collective of Berlin-based artists and cultural workers, including Olympia Bukkakis, Olivia Hyunsin Kim, Mmakgosi Kgabi, Sheena McGrandles, Simone Willeit and Dina Nurpeissova. PSR started in 2018 on the initiative of Uferstudios to develop a concept for the use of the Heizhaus as a place for social choreography. The needs of the artistic community were to be taken into account in equal measure, but also in particular the immediate surroundings of the location. Despite their medially and different ways of working, the members of PSR are united by an interest in choreographic procedures that activate social openness and commitment, and by an understanding of working with 'othered' communities. Since 2019 the projects at the Heizhaus focus on the question of what happens when new connections are formed through unlikely encounters? When we speak of unlikely encounters we hope for a radical permeability of different artistic, political and social contexts.
In the winter of 2022/2023, PSR proclaimed the Heizhaus to be a Cultural Community Center: A place to meet, learn, play, offer, and participate. The project will take place again this winter semester 2024/2025. Numerous participatory formats for young and old will take place under the motto Lifetimes. Current information on the program series can be found here.
