PROJECT: Boiling Room (2021-2023)
Boiling Room is an event series initiated to support people escaping from war regions. Each event combined a cooking session accompanied by a DJ set, leading up to a dinner. Occasionally the events would feature interviews with activists, readings, artistic interventions. The project started amidst the Covid19 pandemic and some of the events ran a livestream of the DJ set or the cooking process, which served to raise donations for independent defence initiatives of people in Ukraine, working on the borders and all across Europe to help those in need. The events were an opportunity for people who arrived in Berlin with no community, to connect with locals and other people in a similar situation.
