The Fluidity of Resistance

4. Taking Space: Sander & Fadescha


Listen Later

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.
