”How to record and broadcast with my body? By now you have a picture of the courtyard, but aside from what I see, there is also what I know: that meters below the bricks on which my feet rest, there is a charnel pit. Is it the high concentration of remnants of past lives that made me return to this ground? I have recorded not only what I see and know, but also what my skin has been exposed to: the first warm sunrays of Spring, the cold morning shadow, a few raindrops. I have recorded not only where I am now, but also where I was yesterday: when I walked across a meadow that turned out to be another cemetery in disguise, heard a different silence, drifted within a larger walled space - that of a beguinage from 1236.”

UNEQUAL CLUB   Onetime anti-club club night Fred Hystère (OOR, Zurich) Mezhgan Saleh (Amsterdam) Rabz (BBZ, London) Radna Rumping (Amsterdam)  Hosted by students of the Sandberg Institute's Studio for Immediate Spaces program  together with Amal Alhaag and Maria Guggenbichler Thursday 25 January 2018 9pm De School, Amsterdam   The UNEQUAL CLUB is a social situation. The UNEQUAL CLUB does not provide the innocence of nor the temporary escape from inequality, exclusion, misery, oppression, alienation or sadness. It keeps them at sight. It includes them. It keeps them loose, it keeps them close to the chest. The UNEQUAL CLUB senses discomfort, together with others. It is a depressed gathering, a difficult conversation, a short-distance conflict. The UNEQUAL CLUB re-claims the club as a place of queer histories and gatherings; for sexual, social and political education and organizing. It is an archive for queer community, support, survival and mourning. “The contexts from which the Deep House sound emerged are forgotten: sexual and gender crises, transgendered sex work, black market hormones, drug and alcohol addiction, loneliness, racism, HIV, ACT-UP, Thompkins Sq. Park, police brutality, queer-bashing, underpayment, unemployment and censorship - all at 120 beats per minute. House wasn’t so much a sound as a situation.” DJ Sprinkles Without inequality no need for a border No nation state without borderWithout a border no smuggling no bribing without authorities If you are somebody, the UNEQUAL CLUB is not for you. The UNEQUAL CLUB is for nobodies (Nobodies-against-the-state). Do you have any advice for white activist allies? – Rabz: Get out the way. The UNEQUAL CLUB is a labyrinth of closing doors, shape shifting, scamming and failing interactions. This club sweats, shakes, stammers, sometimes dances, often passes out to the rhythms of access and exclusion. It is the homestead where bouncers, alienation, uprootedness, obstacles, smuggle, theft, passing, getting out of the way and way making form its world making. "Why do I need I.D. to get I.D.? (I don't know, beats me... beats me) If I had I.D. I wouldn't need I.D.” (Common) Fake I.Ds. Fake identities. Trade names. Bribe the bouncer. Distract the door bitch. Scam the system. Mess up the boundaries. Everyone is on the guest list, but do you know who you are?
