July 26: Being Queer in South Africa // Die südafrikanische Verfassung gilt als eine der fortschrittlichsten der Welt. Sie garantiert allen Südafrikaner*Innen umfassende Menschenrechte, insbesondere auch den Schutz vor Diskriminierung. Doch der rechtliche Schutz vor Gewalt und Ausgrenzung für Menschen, die sich unter der Bezeichnung LGBTIQA wiederfinden, bedeutet in Südafrika – und nicht nur dort – keinen faktischen Schutz. In der Realität sind dies oftmals Weiße Rechte. Gewalt und Diskriminierung erfahren hauptsächlich Schwarze schwule, lesbische oder transgender Menschen. Vor einer queeren steht nach wie vor die schwarze Identität. Die Dekolonisierung der Gesellschaft ist eines der brennendsten Themen in Südafrika. Welche unterschiedlichen Erfahrungen machen Schwarze oder Weiße Menschen mit queerer Identität in Südafrika? Was bedeutet dies für gesellschaftliche Kämpfe? Wie reagiert die Weiße und westlich geprägte LGBTIQA Bewegung? Können sich Menschen überhaupt auf Basis ihrer sexuellen Orientierung emanzipieren ohne einen allgemeinen Kampf gegen Dekolonisierung und Vorherrschaft aufzunehmen? Gäste: Umlilo, Whyt Lyon, Missy Firefly (Stash Crew) aus Südafrika (Mitglieder*Innen des LGBTIQA Künstler*Innen Kollektivs Rainbow Riots) Im Anschluss an die Gesprächsrunde findet ein Konzert von Rainbow Riots statt. Rainbow Riots ist der Titel des kürzlich erschienen LGBTIQA Albums (House of Wallenberg) von queeren Künstler*Innen aus allen Teilen der Welt, welches Homophobie und Transphobie in Afrika aufgreift. Die Diskussion findet in englischer Sprache statt. Mehr: https://www.rosalux.de/veranstaltung/es_detail/JDCNA @ Südblock Berlin, 7pm

July 27: Radio Citizen ist eine Reise durch das Niemandsland zwischen Club Culture, Free Jazz, Dub, African Field Recordings und Pop.

Mit Musikern der Express Brass Band, Embryos, Onemo Agemo & The Discojumpers und Andromeda Mega Express Orchestra. “It leaps dozens of genres in a single bound, digs up all those old sounds I love, fits them together, and erects a temple to pop’s melting pot“ (Pitchfork) HOMEPAGE http://www.radio-citizen.com/ 27.07.2017 // Einlass 19.30 Uhr // Beginn 20.30 Uhr VVK 10€ zzgl Geb. / Reservierung 11€ (reservierung@milla-club.de, begrenztes Kontingent) / Abendkasse 13€ @ Milla Live Club, 7:30pm

July 29: Wassermusik X: Orchestre Les Mangelepa | Newen Afrobeat Sat, Jul 29, 2017, from 7pm Concerts, film 7pm Concert Newen Afrobeat 8.30pm Concert Orchestre Les Mangelepa 10pm Film “Congo River – Beyond Darkness” Open-Air on the roof terrace Waterproof – in case of rain concerts in the exhibition hall, film in the auditorium Orchestre Les Mangelepa The elder statesmen of East African Rumba: Founded 40 years ago in Kenya by Congolese exiles, the Orchestre released hit after hit over the following decades, taking the dance floors by storm from Uganda to Zambia. People loved their elegant music and their equally elegant clothes. Later they fell into obscurity, reduced to playing once a week in a small bar in Nairobi. But now they are back—one of the last bands still playing the classic sound which sets every dance floor moving. Newen Afrobeat Unchained energy: Newen Afrobeat play the original Afrobeat, as decisively shaped by Fela Kuti in the 1970s, and have also shared the stage with Tony Allen and Kuti’s sons Femi and Seun. Like the original, their danceable party sound comes with a good dose of social critique. The 14-person formation dazzle with their energy, precision, and traces of the music of their native Chile. Live, the three front women, with their strong presence, duel with the five-person brass section. Truly infectious! Congo River – Beyond Darkness D: Thierry Michel, CON/B 2006, 121 min, OV with German and French subtitles Beyond darkness: Like the protagonist in Joseph Conrad’s novella, the documentary travels over 4,000 kilometers upriver to the source of the River Congo. However, Michel’s powerful film paints a contrasting, more differentiated picture of the heart of Africa. In majestic panoramas and intimate portraits it captures both the mythology of the river and the everyday life of the people, as well as revealing the traces of recent history, such as the abandoned palace of the dictator Mobutu or the destruction of natural riverside environments.

July 29: Lexodus (Hip-Hop / Electronic) An Englishman in Berlin creates hip-hop that is funky and experimental. His stage name, Lexodus, sounds like medicine, although we can’t decide if it’s an antidepressant or a psychotropic drug. On one side, debonair rap, party style, incarnated by the likes of De La Soul or A Tribe Called Quest. On the other side, psychedelic or tortured, as born in the pharmaceutical labs of Anticon and Def Jux. Joyfully eccentric, somberly hedonistic, it’s easy to get lost in this album. https://www.facebook.com/lexodus/ http://www.big-tomato-records.com/index.php/en/artists-en/lexodus https://lexodus.bandcamp.com/ @ Madame Claude Berlin, 9pm

July 29: LEE SCRATCH PERRY’S VISION OF PARADISE (OmU) (Deutschland, Schweiz, Großbritannien, Jamaika, Äthiopien, 100 Min.) R: Volker Schaner Mit Lee Perry Lee Scratch Perry ist einer der bedeutendsten und einflussreichsten Musiker aller Zeiten – und doch jemand, der immer im Hintergrund seiner weltberühmten Schüler geblieben ist. Er ist der Ziehvater von Bob Marley und gilt als der Erfinder des Reggae und des Dub, zwei Genres, die als Grundlage aller Formen der modernen Tanzmusik angesehen werden. Lee Perry ist auch eine politisch wichtige Figur: nach der Jamaikanischen Unabhängigkeit vom britischen Empire Anfang der 60er Jahre des 20. Jahrhunderts suchte die Insel nach einer neuen kulturellen Identität und Lee Perry war der erste, der den Rastafari-Glauben mit Popmusik verband und mit Bob Marley Reggae zum weltweiten Siegeszug verhalf. Doch diese “spirituelle Revolution” schlug fehl in den Augen Perrys. Reggae wurde kommerzialisiert und seiner ursprünglichen Bedeutung beraubt. Nach dem Tod Bob Marleys brannte er sein legendäres Black Ark-Studio nieder, in dem alles angefangen hatte. Der Filmemacher Volker Schaner begleitete Lee Perry über 15 Jahre, als er von Jamaika nach London und in die Schweiz flüchtete, um dort – in seinem neuen Geheimlabor – neue Wege zu finden, um das Böse in der Welt zu besiegen, mit Hilfe der Musik und der Kunst, die zu allem befähigen. Der Film ist ein intimes und einzigartiges Erlebnis mit diesem legendären sensiblen Künstler, begleitet von den Stimmen international renommierter Musiker. Er zeigt die Geisteswelt Lee Perrys und erzählt mit viel Musik, überraschenden Animationen und Abenteuern eine unglaubliche Geschichte im Stile von “Yellow Submarine”, als eine “Märchen-Dokumentation”. – OpenAir-Kino “umsonst&draussen” in der Kulturfabrik Moabit 2017 Saison von 2.6.-16.9.17 jeden Fr+Sa um 22 Uhr bzw. wenn es dunkel wird… Der Eintritt ist frei.

July 30-31: Das Phänomen von Colourism ist in den letzten Jahren immer mehr ins Bewusstsein der schwarzen Community gerückt. Sowohl bei öffentlichen Veranstaltungen als auch bei privaten Gesprächen bemerken wir, dass die besonderen Erfahrungen, die wir als Dark-skinned-Frauen machen zunehmend anerkannt werden. Und das ist sehr wichtig. Wir bemerken jedoch auch, dass wir uns in bei schwarzen Communitytreffen häufig unter repräsentiert bzw. nicht ausreichend repräsentiert fühlen. Daher möchten wir für alle, die dieses Gefühl teilen, zu einem Treffen für Dark-skinned-Frauen einladen. Wir möchten euch kennenlernen, uns miteinander conntecten und Erfahrungen austauschen. Wir wollen außerdem mit euch ausgelassen quatschen, Musik hören, Fotos machen und gemeinsame Aktivitäten planen, da wir immer wieder feststellen, dass nervige Alltagssituationen wesentlich besser zu bewältigen sind, wenn man ein paar Schwestern im Rücken hat. Der Verein E.O.T.O unterstützt unser Vorhaben und stellt uns seine Räume für ein Treffen zur Verfügung. Wir würden uns freuen euch kennenzulernen und mit euch einen schönen und empowernden Tag zu verbringen. Es wird Getränke und Snacks geben. Bei schönem Wetter können wir gemeinsam in den Volkspark Rehberge. Also kommt vorbei und zeigt euch! @ EOTO Berlin

August 5: Wassermusik X: Oumou Sangaré | Pascuala Ilabaca Sat, Aug 5, 2017, from 7pm Concerts, film 7pm Concert Pascuala Ilabaca A. 8.30pm Konzert Oumou Sangare 10pm Film “Faro – La reine des eaux” Open-Air on the roof terrace Waterproof – in case of rain concerts in the exhibition hall, film in the auditorium Oumou Sangaré Diva with backbone: Mali is not exactly short of great voices—and Oumou Sangaré is one of the greatest of all. In her songs the grande dame primarily addresses the female population in the spirit of an Aretha Franklin or Mary J. Blige, thematizing hardship and sorrow, but also passion and strength. After eight years without any new releases she is back: On her first single the Afrobeat drummer Tony Allen really gets the Funk-charged Mali Pop grooving. Looks like this could be the start of a new phase of her career. Pascuala Ilabaca Free spirit with India in her heart: Pascuala Ilabaca belongs to a new wave of singer-songwriters in Chile. Born in India, where she gained her love of instruments such as tablas, she later returned for a number of years to study the melodies and rhythms of the subcontinent. Together with her band Fauna she has now expanded Chilean folk to create a music that is as idiosyncratic as it is autonomous—while cultivating a close affinity to the great songwriter Violeta Parra. Ever present: Ilabaca’s beloved accordion. Faro, la reine des eaux D: Salif Traoré, MLI/F/CDN/D/OBV 2007, 96 min, OV with English subtitles As a child Zanga was driven out of his village on the Niger River, as an adult with a career as an engineer he returns in the hope of finding his father. His appearance upsets the community with its patriarchal structures: The inhabitants of the village fear the wrath of the river goddess Faro who supposedly preserves the traditional order in this living environment inseparably linked to the river. This results in a confrontation between the system of injustice with its mythical legitimation and individual life plans.

August 31-September 3: In*vision – Seminar&Festival. summer edition // Actually, the invision is only every two years, but to shorten your wait we are happy to announce the IN*VISION SUMMER EDITION SPECIAL. We invite you to bring your tents, so we can enjoy a weekend full of interesting workshops, vivid discussions, dancing and time to connect. The in*vision offers you space to know more about black historiography, postcolonialism, critical whiteness and intersectional relations of power and discrimination. Furthermore, for non-white people who experience racism, there will be BPOC-only activities as a form of empowerment. At in*vision you will have the appropriate time and space to engage in the topics you usually might not have time for. We put great emphasis on inviting Black Women* and Women* of Color for the acts and workshops. Our goal is to create a space in which the voices of Women* of Color are in the spotlight. Regarding the registration of the participants, we watch out that it will not be a predominantly white festival, to prevent discussions in a white majority-owned context. We are aware that we cannot create a space free of racism, sexism and other forms of discrimination, because there is no such thing as a complete safe space in most circumstances. Nevertheless, we will try to do so by providing an Awareness-Team, which will be approachable for every in*vision-participant. find more here: http://in-vision.org/
