Hi there,
here are some news and updates from xHain, no joke:
xHain is now an offical member of the AndersMachen eG i.G.
After several steps towards joining the Haus der Statistik at Alexanderplatz, this is the first real leap. AndersMachen eG is the umbrella cooperative which runs Haus der Statistik. We have acquired the first shares of the cooperative. We have paid 2009€, which is 7% of our total. Two more installments of 43% and 50% will follow later this year, for a total of 28k€.
It's finally happening: From 8th to 16th of April we going to remove the concrete blocks in the cellar. This will jam Hobelhöhle and Scubar for most of this time but that's a small price to pay for all the new space we will gain. There will be a lot of help needed to get the rubble out, but there will be a separate mail about that.
MEMBER MEETINGS are rare but at least once a year. As a member you will get an invitation via email. These meetings are for the very big decisions, which will steer the future of xHain.
ROUND TABLE MEETINGS are on every first and third Wednesday of the month at 20:30. This is the forum to meet other members, present projects for xHain or get feedback on infrastructure related ideas and plans.
ENTING MEETINGS are on the first Thursday of the month, on which there is no makeHERspace, at 20:15. The Enting decides in the name of the gUG on all bigger issues and is currently reworking xHain's governance structure. Due to privacy, some meetings are closed, but for the most part you can sit in and also voice your opinion.
CURATOR MEETINGS are on every last Wednesday of the month at 20:15. These meetings are intended to coordinate different efforts among the Curators. In addition this is the perfect time for a meet&greet with the Curator of your favourite Branch, as all members are welcome to sit in.
Hope to see you there!
The Enting welcomes Max (@m0le:x-hain.de) as a new Ent.

Accepted Proposal: Carlos is to be added to the list of LaserLab curators in the wiki.
Accepted Proposal: Plans to remove the conrete blocks in the Scubar and Hobelhöhle by Markus. Cost 900€ (540€ for disposal, 175€ for parking signs, 150€ for materials). Areas will be mostly closed from 2024-04-08 to 04-16. A lot of help is needed to carry the concrete out.
Max (@m0le:x-hain.de) is added to the Enting.
Am Dienstag, 16.04.2024, ist die Tänzerin und Choreographin Irina Demina zu Gast beim Gespräch unter Bäumen. Irina spricht und versteht Deutsch, arbeitet aber auf Englisch. Deshalb wird sie ihre Arbeit auf Englisch präsentieren.
Irina is exploring movement and mental states while dancing, using an EEG measuring device. She wants to know: Can one, by developing more awareness towards her*his own body, gain more awareness for others and increase empathy? In her interdisciplinary work as choreographer/artistic director/dance facilitator, she is often exploring the interaction between emotions, cognition, and motor performance.

We’re so looking forward to having you, Irina!
