Jea Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Frustrated German-speaking ace who does not live in Germany and who will not be able to be there :( Great project though! Link to post Share on other sites
Carmilla DeWinter Posted November 11, 2015 Author Share Posted November 11, 2015 So, there's now the possibility to actually sign up for the conference: http://aktivista.net/aktivista/aktivista-2016/ We've also space, or rather, time, in case someone wants to give a talk or so. Please refer to the link for details. Link to post Share on other sites
Carmilla DeWinter Posted February 24, 2016 Author Share Posted February 24, 2016 We now have three confirmed speakers. Annika Spahn of Freibung university hasn't disclosed yet what she'll talk about, Irina is going to dissect the presentation of a_sexuality in the German media, and I'm aiming for a workshop on a_sexuality in fiction. (What's with the gap? We're trying to make the ace spectrum visible in writing.) Link to post Share on other sites
menntun Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 is there a deadline for the registration of participants? Link to post Share on other sites
Ennis Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Carmilla, are you a member of AktivistA? Link to post Share on other sites
Carmilla DeWinter Posted February 28, 2016 Author Share Posted February 28, 2016 @ charlie AA: Yes. Why? @ menntun: Not really, so you can decide last minute. In the rather unlikely event that we have more applicants than seats, we'll announce that on the homepage. Link to post Share on other sites
tssunami Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Hi Carmilla, I have just found out about this conference and I have a question. There seem to be very few (if any) ACE events in Western Europe. At least I have so far not been lucky to find one. At the same time as you can imagine I would love an opportunity to meet in person people from the Asexual community. Regarding the AktivistA conference - of course I understand that there is a need to hold an even for a German speaking community - but I wonder if it would be possible to also have a simultaneous interpretation at the event to allow people from the neighboring countries to attend? I imagine this could be of interest to people in Belgium, the Netherlands, Denmark, Poland, maybe even UK and Ireland. From my side I would be glad to offer help with getting quotes from the interpretation companies, to help AktivistA assess this idea. Looking forward to hearing from you. P. Due to the positive feedback, AktivistA has decided to host another conference on asexuality for German speaking aces in 2016. Date: September 17th, 2016 Place: Stuttgart, Zentrum Weissenburg I'm going to post updates and links here. Link to post Share on other sites
Koriander Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 I wish I was in Germany, but I'm just all alone here. Link to post Share on other sites
Carmilla DeWinter Posted May 3, 2016 Author Share Posted May 3, 2016 @tssunami: I'm afraid we're a rather small organization, so hiring interpreters is about ten times above what we can afford. You're also the first person who asks about non-English translations. If we're lucky, there will be videos of the talks that might get English subtitles. (No promises.)

spacerace Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 I'm a German-English translator! I don't know if I'll make it to the conference or not, but I'd be happy to do video subtitles (either free or at a significant discount, depending on length), so that more people can access the talks. Let me know! =) Link to post Share on other sites
Carmilla DeWinter Posted July 21, 2016 Author Share Posted July 21, 2016 @ spacerace - Thanks for the kind offer. We're still waiting for the videos from last year, so ... if the Powers The Be are willing, we'll let you translate this year's subtitles. Link to post Share on other sites
Carmilla DeWinter Posted August 14, 2016 Author Share Posted August 14, 2016 So... not so long anymore. We now have a complete speaker line-up - Dr Jana Fedtke will talk about the portrayal of asexual bachelors in US TV, I will have a workshop/discussion thing about a_sexual storytelling, Isabelle Hlawatsch will tackle counseling, Fiammetta De Bornelh will compare articles about aces in German and Italian, and Annika Spahn will talk about a_sexuality in queer spaces and queer studies. I've also looked for hotels that still have free rooms. Link to post Share on other sites
torriT Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 This sounds extremely interesting, especially the workshop. I am not yet sure whether I will be able to make it, so I'll decide spontaneously and maybe even persuade a friend of mine to come as well. Link to post Share on other sites
Lilandra Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 I'll come, too. If anyone needs a place to stay for the night, let me know. I live (fairly) close to Stuttgart. Link to post Share on other sites
Carmilla DeWinter Posted August 31, 2016 Author Share Posted August 31, 2016 @ Lilandra: Yay, cool. Also, thanks for the generous offer. @ torriT: Crossing my fingers here. Link to post Share on other sites
Lilandra Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 I'm afraid I won't come, sorry. Hope you folks will have a great time! (My offer stands, though. Let me know if you need a place to stay.) Link to post Share on other sites
