The Fluidity of Resistance (ENG)

Due to its special history, Berlin has always been a city of
transformation - politically, socially, culturally, economically.
Currently, such a moment of change is again palpable. These
experiences are particularly reflected in the city's club
culture, which is known and celebrated worldwide. 


Today, club culture is seen primarily as an economic and cultural
factor. Less often we consider from which social structures club
culture emerges, which communities shape it, keep it going and
thus also define the social life of the city. For many queer and
marginalised people, club culture is not simply a possibility for
hedonistic leisure activities, but a social necessity. 


We are the collective ( ) s-p-a-c-e and we look at Berlin's club
culture from a queer and subcultural perspective. We don’t want
to talk about club culture but aim to listen to voices from
within the community — from queer club workers, collectives,
bookers, DJs, artists, bartenders, bouncers, promoters,
technicians, runners and cultural workers.


What defines Berlin's club culture? Who shapes it? What
supporting role do queer communities play and why? Who has access
and who doesn't? Who benefits? How can club culture remain
significant? And how can we create resistant but open places that
challenge social, (hetero)normative and capitalist conditions?



We want to ask these and other questions in the Fluidity of
Resistance - the podcast about queer club culture in Berlin.


Podcast hosted and produced by ( ) s-p-a-c-e.
