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.

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.
