POP KULTUR BERLIN 2018
Border Movement are excited to announce a showcase on Wednesday 15th and Thursday 16th August at Pop-Kultur Berlin in the form of live performances, DJ sets and an interactive discussion. Taking place at Club 23, and representing members of the Border Movement family from South Asia and Germany, there will be live showcases from Dan Bodan, Rudoh, Stupid Happiness Theory and Anika; interspersed with DJ sets from She’s Drunk, Lauf, and Andi Teichmann.
Also taking place at Club 23, New Delhi based Sarah Elizabeth Chawla, regional partner for Border Movement and co-founder of Wild City and Magnetic Fields festival will be hosting an interactive conversation about the importance of cross cultural collaboration and women in electronic music. She will be joined by: Pakistani producer and vocalist Natasha Ejaz (who is currently in Berlin as part of this year’s BMR initiative); Berlin based artist, political journalist and poet Annika Henderson (who participated in a 6 week residency in Tehran as part of the BMR series in 2015); producer and Sine Valley festival co-founder Mohamed Manal; and NOLAND label owner, producer and cultural activist Andi Teichmann.
