HEKLER is a collaborative platform and collective that focuses on critical examination of hospitality and conflict intersecting artistic, pedagogical, counter-archival and organizing strategies. The word “hekler” derives from the Serbo-Croatian verb, heklati. Its formal meaning, to crochet, is appropriated in slang speech to reference the act of shooting bullets from a Heckler & Koch assault rifle, as well as to speak quickly, or rapid fire. An additional level of meaning is given by the homophone in English, heckler, describing a person who interrupts a performer or public speaker; signifying a disruption. Cross-culturally, crocheting and knitting are done in groups mostly, if not exclusively, by women. These self-organized performative actions of coding became communal spaces for sharing, healing, and conspiring against oppressive regimes. In this lineage, HEKLER’s intent is to examine the symbiotic relationship between hospitality and conflict by nurturing environments for radical imagination towards international solidarity, equity and freedom.
