To our right side the land
A coffee trip
Mit einem Reisebus brechen Anpartnersincrime set off on a late summer trip through the Rhine-Main region in a coach, passing vineyards, medieval castles, and lovingly tended front gardens. In between, as if they were part of the landscape, young women in floral dresses with long braids, beaming smiles, and happy blonde children. Steaming apple pie is served, along with a little bit of blood-and-soil theory.
The image of the conservative full-time mother—so-called tradwives—is more successful than ever. Seemingly harmless, they spread anti-feminist ideologies that particularly appeal to young women. They increasingly function as a link between the conservative middle class and the right-wing extremist scene—as a fig leaf, a marketing tool, and a mediator all at once. Yet they are just one figure in the growing spectrum of right-wing female roles—from pro-life activists to aristocrats to organized neo-fascists. This development is also clearly evident in the Rhine-Main region, where the new right-wing extremist middle class originated with the founding of the AfD.
We'll embark on a search for an anti-feminist network. As part of a coffee tour, we'll visit contemporary and historical sites and engage in conversation with activists and scholars who are challenging these structures.
No coffee without a hangover. No trip without an abyss.

An article from the Frankfurt Rundschau about the advance notice:
Coffee trip into the brown by Meike Kolodziejczyk
„Die Stimmung ist gut. Die Sonne hängt schon tief als der Bus sich in der Wittelsbacherallee in Bewegung setzt. Dabei steht die Heiterkeit im Kontrast zur Grausamkeit dieses Kapitels deutscher Geschichte, das Ziel dieser Reise ist.“
Frankfurt Allgemeine Zeitung
„To our right side the land persifliert die Form von Kaffeefahrten: „Ein scheinbar harmloser Tagesausflug, bei dem Menschen mit Kaffee Kuchen und Verkaufsversprechen umworben und oft getäuscht werden.“ Diese Ästhetik werde aufgegriffen, „reaktionär und freundlich zugleich“. Im Bus, gestellt vom Berliner Verein Solibus, liegen Häkeldeckchen auf den Polstern, schrill gemusterte Vorhänge flattern an den Fenstern, Reiseleiterin Eva im Etuikleid, dargestellt von der Performerin Anna Stiede, reicht Gebäck.“
