A QTIBIPOC Event for our queer hobby astrologists, to gain more knowledge in the basic of Hellenistic astrology and more!
If you want to move beyond pop astrology, join the ‚Astrology 101: Workshop Series‘. We get to the basics of Hellenistic astrology and make sense of the cosmic chaos together.
This is a workshop series and every week a different theme will be covered, for instance:
-The 12 Archetypes and Signs: more than just your birthday.
-The Planets: characters in your personal story.
-The Houses: Where the magic (and the mess) happens in life
-Aspects: How the different parts communicate
No experience needed. Only your curiosity (and birth time)!
Taye (he/they) is a political educator by day and an alchemist by night because they like to believe that complexity holds meaning. They have been a Hellenistic astrologer for 13+ years and are currently a student of Vedic Astrology and Tarot. Their astrological approach is holistic, interpretive and trauma-informed and is dedicated to deciphering complexity through the astrological chart.
🍄snacks are provided
🍄Wheelchair accessible venue via elevator + accessible toilet
This event is for QTIBIPOC (Queer, Trans, Inter people who are also Black, Indigenous and People of Color) only.

@deraluce (he/him) Dera is a Nigerian-American interdisciplinary storyteller who calls Berlin home. His art/work explores queerness, spirit economics, shifting realities, and other extraordinary experiences that he is still finding the words for.
Workshop: Free Will (LOL): A Cheat Code for Navigating Oppressive Systems
This workshop explores free will, agency, boundaries, and autonomy against the context of ancestral influence and the personal spiritual guide known in Igbo ontology as chi. Participants will examine how agency emerges under constraint, how choice is shaped by internal energy and relational networks, and how Black communities have exercised free will through both covert and overt resistance.
Through a combination of interactive games, lecture, discussion, and grounding practices, participants will explore how choice arises under constraint, consider alignment with their chi, and situate personal agency within social, ethical, and ancestral frameworks.

Mandhla is a 28 year old multimedia performance artist based in Berlin bringing a blend of experimental R&B/Soul music intertwined with visual projections and dance.
Her art explores the daily trials that femme* immigrant bodies experience with self, identity and acceptance. She promises to takes you to a world of divine epiphanies through fierce queer representation and black femme* power.
workshop:
Unlock Your Femininity
Through the colonial lens, femininity has been warped and pathologised as something foreign, oppressive, and weak to our bodies. Many of us have been taught to distrust softness, to shrink our expression, and to fear the depth of the power carried in our gestures, voices, and presence.
This workshop invites participants to gently interrogate those inherited narratives and reconnect with the embodied wisdom of our ancestors. Together, we will explore our lived experiences of expression, reclaim historical beauty in unapologetic being, and engage dance forms from Ballroom culture as celebration, resistance, and affirmation through sound, movement, and collective exploration.

Blackalicious Summer School Berlin 12-14th June @berlinglobalvillage - link in bio 💫
Cat Jones (he/him) is a multimedia artist and independent curator whose work is rooted in self-acceptance/critique, and reflection. His work is an ongoing exploration of identity, resistance, and the complex intersections of race, gender, and body.
His focus as an artist is to understand the relationship to space/physical surroundings, and how it can be a tool for archiving.
workshop:
Voice Memo as Artifact
“Voice Memo as Artifact” is a sonic workshop using accessible tools for archiving sound through group collaboration.
How do we use our surroundings to create a time capsule of what we think and feel and see? As Black Queer people, how do we make use of what’s around/left to us to create or survive? How can my breath be archived and communicate an emotion?
In this workshop we will create layered soundscapes using what is available to us in the space. “We are always equipped for self-preservation and capable of archiving our lives.”
