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.

Berlin ist aufgrund seiner besonderen Geschichte seit jeher eine Stadt des Wandels — politisch, gesellschaftlich, kulturell, ökonomisch. Derzeit ist wieder so ein Moment der Veränderungen spürbar. Diese Erfahrungen spiegeln sich besonders auch in der weltweit bekannten und gefeierten Clubkultur der Stadt.
Clubkultur wird heute vor allem als wirtschaftlicher und kultureller Faktor gesehen. Viel seltener wird darüber gesprochen, aus welchen sozialen Gefügen heraus Clubkultur entsteht, welche Communities sie gestalten, am Laufen halten und damit auch das gesellschaftliche Leben der Stadt prägen. Clubkultur ist für viele queere und marginalisierte Menschen nicht einfach eine Möglichkeit zur hedonistischen Freizeitgestaltung, sondern eine soziale Notwendigkeit.
Wir sind das Kollektiv ( ) s-p-a-c-e und wir betrachten Berlins Clubkultur aus dieser queeren und subkulturellen Perspektive. Wir wollen nicht über Clubkultur sprechen, sondern queere Clubarbeiter:innen, Kollektive, Booker, DJs, Künstlerinnen, Barkeeper, Türsteher:innen, Promoter, Techniker*, Runner und Kulturarbeiter:innen zu Wort kommen lassen und ihnen aus der Community heraus eine Stimme geben.
Was macht Berlins Clubkultur aus? Wer gestaltet sie? Welche tragende Rolle spielen queere Communities und warum? Wer hat Zugang und wer nicht? Wer profitiert? Wie muss sich Clubkultur verändern, um nach wie vor bedeutsam zu bleiben? Und wie können wir widerständige und dennoch offene Orte schaffen, die die gesellschaftlichen, (hetero)normativen und kapitalistischen Bedingungen herausfordern?
Diese und weitere Fragen wollen wir in the Fluidity of Resistance - dem Podcast zu queerer Clubkultur in Berlin stellen.
