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.

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’.
