In this episode host neo seefried meets dominatrix, prostitute
defender and multimedia artist Alice Danger. They are inspired by
power relations and BDSM and also by nightlife as the crossing
location of effects and movements.Together they talk about
so-called radical sensual intensifications in terms of sex(work)
in club spaces. Alice explains the whorearchy to us, goes back to
an historical understanding of sexpositivity and tells us why
sexwork is not only ‘fucking and sucking’ but also alot of care
and emotional work. How are the working conditions as a (queer)
sex worker in Berlin? What is important when you curate a
darkroom? And what is ‘Whoring in Utopia’ about? These and more
questions will Alice and neo discuss in the sixth episode of ‘The
Fluidity of Resistance - The podcast about queer club culture in
Berlin’.

Long time no see, but The Fluidity of Resistance is back! In the
fifth episode host neo seefried invites drag queen,
choreographer, moderator, and writer Olympia Bukkakis. Her
practice is inspired by tensions and intersections between queer
nightlife and contemporary dance and performance. In this
conversation Olympia and neo talk about politics and behavior in
queer related spaces and the interchanges of subculture and
(cultural) institutions. As a worker of the night, how do
you move in between subcultural and institutionalized spaces?
Olympia explains more about the privilege to be in the room and
whether state funding of queer sub- and club culture is a
solution to the low paying rates in culture and nightlife.

The month of July is the official pride month in Berlin.
Especially at that time we see an increased visibility of queer
topics and also queer club culture is more present in the city.
But which queer lived experiences are really being negotiated in
the end? The 4th Episode of ‘The Fluidity of Resistance' deals
with taking up Space: Queer Visibility, Performativity and
Representation in Berlin Club Culture. Host neo meets Sander, a
transdisciplinary artist, clubworker and DJ and Fadescha, an
artist-curator and founder of the trans-feminist social space
Party Office. Together they discuss who is visible in queer club
culture and who is not and why? Why do we never talk about class?
Does queerness become an exploitable trend? How much does "queer
aesthetic" become the norm in club culture and who is in the end
profiting from it? Fadescha will give us insights from their
cis-white-male-exclusive door policies at Party Office at
documenta in Kassel and Sander explains why queer and trans
visibility is not enough to change heteronormative and capitalist
society.

Viele Berliner Clubs und Tanzflächen sind dafür bekannt, dass sie
junge und alte Raver miteinander vereinen, doch seit der Pandemie
beobachten wir, wie die unterschiedlichen Generationen sich
voneinander entfernen. In der dritten Episode von Fluidity of
Resistance trifft Host neo auf zwei sehr unterschiedliche Figuren
der queeren Berliner Clubkultur. Emi ist im Jahr 2000 geboren und
arbeitet mit ihrem Kollektiv Duct Tape als Dragqueen und Host.
Jens ist Theaterregisseur, ehemaliger Travestiekünstler und geht
seit nun 16 Jahren in seinen Lieblingsclub. In dieser Folge
wollen wir über die sogenannte Generational Gap in Berliner Clubs
sprechen, also einem Generationskonflikt? Inwiefern hat sich die
Crowd in den letzten 20 Jahren verändert? Welche Rolle spielt
dabei Social-Media? Und wie gehen junge und ältere Menschen in
queerer Clubkultur miteinander um? Welche Herausforderungen
stellen sich dabei, wenn das Publikum internationaler und
wohlhabender, aber auch diverser in Bezug auf Gender, Sexualität
und Race wird?

In the second episode, neo talks with their guests about the
dancefloor as a social space and raving as an experience. What do
we feel when we are on the dancefloor? Sir Rita, curator and
writer for GEGEN relates raving to them as dance therapy and
trauma processing machines. Juan Carlos, who experienced (queer)
communities throughout the years in San Francisco, New York,
Miami, Puerto Rico tells about the unique intergenerational
connections he makes on the dancefloors in Berlin. Together we
discuss the affective states of emergency and body liberation via
dancing, raving, connecting, vibrating and shaking and the
potentials of pleasure activism in queer club culture.

Über diesen Podcast
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 produced by collective
