The events run from October 3-10
By Staff
Workshops, DJ sets and radio discussions around the theme “the medium is the message”.
Winning the annual Berliner club culture prize for a fourth time, this year our program centres around the means of communication that we use to express our messages and values - whether online, in public spaces or in personal interactions.
Our program starts on October 2nd (2-3PM) with a radio conversation hosted by Madeleine Pollard, about the world of DIY zine publishing. Her guests will be Alejandra (Consuelo Press) and Colin (Gundled). The following day there will be a talk about the art of curation. Inviting Edna Martinez and founder of Fiestuki, DJ Putilla, Richard Akingbehin will ask about their daily work and why thoughtful curation is so vital in a scene that is finally taking the importance of representation more seriously. Tune in at 12-1PM.
From 1PM until 11PM, also on October 3, we will host 10-hour open decks session at Oona Bar, broadcast live on the radio. Apply for a slot here.
On Monday, October 7th, we will dive into the topic of public speaking, hosting a 90-minute workshop with drag queen and founder of the POPPERS event series, BLEACH. It will take place at our Niemetzstrasse space from 630-8PM and is free to attend. Applications are now open here.
Finally, we will host one of Berlin’s finest photographers Frankie Casillo to present some of his work from events like Atonal, Draaimolen and GALA, as well as other aspects of his work. He will talk about the different techniques involved in event photography, as well as developing the film and also some commentary on photography in general. This workshop is free-to-attend and will take place from 6-730PM on October 4th at Refuge Worldwide’s new space (Niemetzstraße 1). Apply here.
