Web Edition

How Balance Club / Culture Festival – Web Edtion works: We publish the contributions according to ⤵︎ the timetable on this website. 
From 20⁠–24 May, our website will feature DJ sets, lectures, multimedia texts, workshops, artist talks, audio-visual works and artistic fashion-pieces. As a grand finale, we will release our Balance-Sampler “Various Artists – Tender Squads” on festival Sunday and, admittedly, fulfill our own long standing wish. The Balance Club / Culture Festival sees itself as an interface between club culture and social critique. All contributions of the festival “Tender Squads” address the question which constellations and alliances can be imagined for the emancipatory potential of a different world to unfold? Which alliances do we want to form and where do we have to insist on difference for our alternatives to be viable? What form of (feminist) care and support do we need for each other right now? Together with you we want to find out, more urgently than ever, how we can maximally destabilize structural inequalities.

New collaboration. For Balance Festival Web Edition visual artist Flufflord visualized the DJ-Set of Balance all-time favorite SOLARIS for a thrilling and trippy outcome. 

Praise the (Fluff-)Lord! Tea Stražičić (aka Flufflord) is a Croatian animation director and new media artist, currently based in Berlin. Her body of work contains video pieces, installations, visual designs, fashion and more. Her style? “Heavy Metal Magazine meets emotional Catholic kid in Koreatown”. 

The IfZ-Resident and recently appointed Rinse. FM show-host once again brings her unique sound of criss-crossing euphoric breaks, relentless acid, hard-drum and contemporary dance-pieces to the (digital) halls of Balance.
