Easterndaze, the platform for exploring current underground scenes in Central and Eastern Europe, comes to Berlin between September 28 and October 9, in celebration of collective/label aesthetic and DIY ethos in a digital age.
Apart from a series of 4 music nights at silent green Kulturquartier (a new cultural space situated in the former crematorium Wedding) in Berlin's Wedding district - coinciding with the posthumanist flair a lot of these collectives are inspired by, a series of music documentaries will be shown at Lichtblick-Kino Berlin.
Easterndaze × Berlin brings together the most interesting and idiosyncratic collectives and cultural activists from Central /Eastern Europe and Berlin, such as Future Nuggets (Bucharest), Christoph de Babalon (Berlin), WIDT (Warsaw), Farbwechsel (Budapest), KETEV (Berlin), Praxis (Berlin), Jan St Werner, Kimatica, Noumeno, Circular Ruins, Arikon, Ausschuss, and more.
The blog Easterndaze explores and maps local DIY scenes operating in a digital realm, introduces the creative personalities and collectives behind them and provides context. The festival is a continuation of Easterndaze: DIY Music Topographies, an exhibition and event series with alternative and underground musicmakers organized for the OFF Biennale Budapest in 2015.
