3pm

A collective performance in public space commemorates queer and feminist forms of resistance in the late GDR - in particular the ‘Lila Offensive’, an East German women's movement from Prenzlauer Berg in the 1980s. The starting point are two large-format photographs installed on the railway tracks on Schönhauser Allee. Ten FLINTA people from different communities bring historical and current feminist voices into the urban space: with texts, banners, costumes and performative gestures that make queer-feminist struggles visible and invite a critical examination of the city as a standardised space. The 60-minute performance will run from the Schönhauser Allee underground station to the Schönfließer Brücke. It will be video-documented and can be accessed afterwards via QR code.

Based on the history of the Turkish Bazaar in the late 1980s, In Berlin Nichts Neues makes post-migrant, anti-fascist, and anti-racist movements visible in the urban space. Through billboards and text installations inspired by the aesthetics of the photo novel, the work highlights independent magazines and zines such as Antifaşist Haber Bülteni, diyalog, Köxüz, Inisiyatif, and lubunya—published by post-migrant groups in Berlin in the 1990s. An activating reading performance with two performers and mobile sound elements brings the content to life—loud, dynamic, and demonstrative.

During the spatial activations Basics of Care, a small group of Black queer performers activate the U Nollendorfplatz with quiet, tender gestures of love, intimacy and care. In everyday clothes - from drag to business casual - they move improvised through the space, visible and yet embedded in Berlin's commuting rhythm. The performance creates a space for fantasy, closeness and resistance - beyond spectacle, against erasure, for lived presence.

The project revives the cultural heritage of the Turkish bazaar at U Bülowstraße (1978-1991) - a former meeting place for the Turkish community with cassette shops, tea rooms, and live music at the so-called Gazino. In collaboration with contemporary musical artists (e.g. Emrah Gökman, Nia2161, DJ NaN and DJ Wahid Paradis), a homage to the cassette culture of the time is being created: with a large billboard in the underground station, limited edition cassettes and a live concert under the station. Directly in front of Sony Music's headquarters, the project addresses the commercialisation of music and reclaims public space.

The project brings trans-historical perspectives into public space. The performance by trans-identical, partly BiPoC performers combines artistic posters, floor foils and physical presence to create a lively dialogue between past and present.
The durational performance moves through the underground station, comments on infrastructures that often exclude queer people and BiPoC and makes structural discrimination visible. At the same time, it creates a vision of a safe place for queer life in public space.
