In 2023, the first SISTERQUEENS hip-hop open-air festival took place. A full day of rap, dance, graffiti and beatbox workshops, chillout and sister*hood for MINTA*. In the evening, hip-hop was celebrated together with a stage program by MINTA* and FLINTA* artists. Ebow, Haber Project, B2B Crew, Haszcara and many more were there!
SISTERQUEENS have been around for over 8 years now. Since the first project in 2016 with Mädea, Sister Fa and Sandra Selimovic, songs have been created, people have learned in workshops, rapped at concerts and tried out new things at the hip-hop camp. Above all, SISTERQUEENS means sister*hood, being there for each other, standing up for each other and speaking out against injustice and discrimination. Watch the mini-documentary.
Chris Herzog will be on stage in the performance “Trouble” (director: Katrin Hylla). Five performers aged between 10 and 43 are looking for ways to deal with the gloomy scenarios we encounter every day on all channels. Can cotton candy, magic tricks or poems by Kae Tempest help? How can we react to all the trouble together? And how can we be strong without hardening ourselves?
After the revival in Bremen, “Trouble” goes on tour!
Dates:
31.01. 7 pm & 01.02.2025 4 pm, Schwankhalle Bremen
07.02. 7 pm & 08.02.2025 4 pm, TNT Marburg
28.03. & 29.03.2025, Ballhaus Ost Berlin
Grauzone Pott is here! From today, you can listen to the first episode “Eine Verkettung von Einzelfällen” wherever podcasts are available or directly on grauzone-pott.de. A racist arson attack, decades of silence and a memorial initiative fighting to come to terms with the past: in episode 1, we travel to Duisburg in 1984 and shed light on an arson attack that claimed the lives of seven members of a Turkish family. Dismissed by the authorities as an isolated incident, a search of archives reveals that the arson attack was part of a pattern of racist violence.
