out.cast pours from the inside out, spilling sounds and voices of dreams and struggles, of new maps and bodily territories. Inside becomes outside and the outside is always already inside. out.cast manifests political messages, it activates non-hierarchical, multilingual and multi-perspective knowledge in the acoustic spheres of the city. New episodes coming out in the summer of 2025: out.cast CONSTRUCTION AND CONTROL - these new episodes take us through parks, beyond fences, into construction sites, clubs and community spaces. Which path do we take and what's in our ears as we drift thru the city? The people and ideas behind out.cast: since autumn 2023, a group of activists and artists have been working intensively to develop out.cast - a collaborative podcast from Kreuzberg, facilitated by studio lärm at FHXB Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg Museum. In the diverse audio pieces that have come to existence since then, we get to listen to strong, sad and hopeful stories. They tell of dreams of memories of places that were once home, places that no longer exist. We listen to struggles and hopes of bipoc Ukrainian refugees. We follow a mosaic of voices exploring the various shapes of fear experienced in Berlin. Journeys from individual to collective bodies, decolonizing pleasure. We listen to laughter, singing and remembrance at Kottbusser Tor – we listen to Kotti as a home. out.cast is a podcast series created by Lana Semenova, Alex Berk, Maryna Usmanova, Tazir, Nine, Malek Khemiri, Bino Byansi Byakuleka, Jeanne Möschler, Valeria Mujaes & Diana Torres Valencia, Dalila Daut, Kalle, Polina, Viola, Alejandra, and Céline Barry. A project by studio lärm in cooperation with FHXB Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg Museum.

    dislocation of the alpha

    It's possible to live in another reality, right in the middle of Berlin.Between Past and Future. Between Yesterday and Today. Under the overarching theme of “Construction”, this project explores the layers of constructions that emerge within the self, between borders and in-between spaces. Between the cultures left behind and the process of re-rooting within them. Between arriving and growing up and dreaming far from one’s mother tongue, in worlds not made for oneself. Integration, sation - uprooting. But how can cultures and traditions within communities be rediscovered, recoded, and reimagined from a contemporary perspective, where gender roles and social rules are questioned, rethinked, and rewritten? To create something new, I must engage with the old, with what has been passed down, suppressed, or lost across generations. For me, this means reading the traces of the past, remembering not to linger, but to unlearn and recode. This work is an intimate conversation with my mother, about a tradition passed down in our family over many generations: bean reading. A practice capable of seeing into the future and opening paths of hope. What was once part of the daily life of certain communities becomes here a personal and collective echo. Listeners are invited to make their own choice: Do I listen to the past or to the future? ________________________________________________________ Thank you to my mum, Dajana, for the strength you carry within and for your loving, gentle, yet fiery soul that inspires me every day, and to Studio Lärm for making this happen.
