Outcast Registration

OUTCAST REGISTRATION serves as an archive of all research projects by Ulrike Möntmann and documents their results.

Since 1998 Ulrike Möntmann has been realising multi-year projects with partners from art, science and politics in cooperation with drug addicts in European prisons, therapy facilities and reception centres. In interdisciplinary artistic research and practice, complex issues are discussed that arise from the cooperation of all participants. The aim of the investigations is to uncover facts and to identify concrete connections from different perspectives. This is not about confirming the asymmetrical relationships with the women affected which certainly exist or about discussing the measures of the organs of executive power; the aim is to uncover the conditions in societal systems that are unthinkingly taken for granted and accepted.

OUTCAST REGISTRATION is a form of intervention that requires reflection and commentary to reveal the conditions that are structurally entrenched in social processes and make them perceptible as public affairs.

The following are the two main projects devised and conducted by Ulrike Möntmann, in cooperation with incarcerated, drug-addicted women throughout Europe since 1998.

THIS BABY DOLL WILL BE A JUNKIE (TBDWBAJ)
(2004-2009) consists of eighteen biographies of female drug addicts from five western European countries and it forms the basis of OUTCAST REGISTRATION.

PARRHESIA: THE RISKY ACTIVITY OF SPEAKING UP AND SPEAKING OUT
(2019-ongoing) continues the investigation carried out in TBDWBAJ. Individual implementations of the project are to take place in prisons in northern and southern Europe in 2021-2027.

The part below is currently under construction and when completed, will hold information about the projects that took place before TBDWBAJ and parrhesia.
