Berlin is known to many as one of the best clubbing cities in Europe. Home to techno, free-thinking, radical expression and inclusivity - but how inclusive is it really?

This episode explores the “Politics of the Dance Floor” through the work of Transmission, a networking-platform that amplifies the politics and history of club and rave culture.

Founders, Sarah Farina and Dr. Kerstin Meißner, share how they have built a community through critical conversation. A community that enables social justice and works to create safe and inclusive dance floors for everyone. Sarah, a DJ, and Kerstin, a researcher, have looked to the intersections of academia, activism and music culture to create cultural discourse around the social issues within nightlife.
