AL.Berlin | Hassandra

This month, we're thrilled to be joined by Hassandra On the show, we'll dive into drag, queer archiving, nostalgia, and the ongoing search for home with Lebanese multidisciplinary artist and DJ Hassandra. Together, we'll talk about moving between theatre, drag, DJing, and curating, preserving queer stories and memories, and what it means to create and protect spaces for queer artists from the SWANA region in Berlin at a time of shrinking cultural spaces, political pressure, and growing instability. We'll also talk about community, critical solidarity, and the politics of who gets to belong, be visible, and take up space in Berlin's cultural landscape today. In between the conversations, we'll listen to music that has accompanied Hassandra throughout the years, shaped their artistic journey, and continues to inspire them today.
