"Diverse Gathering on Stage: Embracing Multiculturalism"
In the heart of Berlin's vibrant Kreuzberg district, Morphine Raum hosts an innovative event series called BLACK Communion. This unique gathering aims to foster a special connection between performers and audience, offering a platform for artists from Africa, the US, and Europe who are known for their experimental approach to music.
The series, which has been well received, was founded with a clear purpose: to unite various parts of the diaspora, decentralize whiteness in Berlin events, and explore music beyond the usual techno genre. The impetus for its creation came as a response to the speaker's observation of the lack of diversity in Berlin's nightlife and music scenes, a stark contrast to their previous residence in Atlanta, where the Black population is much more prevalent.
The upcoming event on Jun 28 promises an exciting lineup, featuring Kelvin Sholar, Savanna Morgan, and Chi aka Robert Machiri. Tickets for the event can be purchased to join this musical journey.
The selection of artists for BLACK Communion events is not random. Each artist is carefully chosen for their ability to push boundaries and bring a fresh perspective to the stage. The series is organised by a team of local experts and tastemakers, including DJ and musical authority Eiliyas.
The first evening of BLACK Communion events is dedicated to the artists' identity, while the second evening is all about improvisation and sonic conversation. This structure allows for a dynamic and engaging experience, encouraging audience participation and fostering a sense of community.
However, the speaker is mindful of the potential for Black artists' representation to become a fetish. They believe that more needs to be done to improve diversity in Berlin's nightlife and music scenes, and they are optimistic about the positive changes they have seen in recent years.
Independent organizations and initiatives play a crucial role in alleviating the lack of diversity. The speaker enjoys attending various events such as Cassette Heads Sessions, Soy Division, Decolonoize, L_Kw, and events at Morphine Raum, SAVVY, Repeat Bar, and Panke. These events contribute to a more diverse and inclusive Berlin scene.
In conclusion, BLACK Communion is more than just a music event series. It is a movement that challenges the status quo, decentralizes whiteness, and champions ideas and sounds from the African diaspora. If you're looking for a unique and engaging musical experience, be sure to check out BLACK Communion at Morphine Raum in Berlin.
