Berlin\u2019s nightlife has been turned upside down. But it wouldn\u2019t be Berlin if people didn\u2019t get creative. Initiatives like<\/span> Club Quarant\u00e4ne<\/span><\/a>, a virtual dancefloor experience allowing you to stream DJ sets by the likes of Helena Hauff and Marcel Dettmann at home, is just one example of how the city’s club culture is responding imaginatively to the crisis. Still, it\u2019s equally important to keep the IRL scene alive: to get the community involved and to give something back by donating.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

One of these initiatives is<\/span> Berlin Collective Action (BCA)<\/span><\/a> which aims to provide emergency financial aid to at-risk nightlife workers and communities to cover urgent costs like rent and health insurance. In particular, Berlin\u2019s queer raves often consist of BIPOC, queer, trans- and non-binary people, sex workers, non-EU migrants, freelancers and other marginalised groups who are all part of the at-risk communities mentioned above. The DJs, the artists, the door selectors, the crowd, and all the people behind the scenes who make happen what Berlin is most famous for\u2014its thrilling and unique club culture.<\/span><\/p>\n

We spoke with five of the collectives involved to understand how they are dealing with the current Covid-19 crisis and asked them to spread some positive thoughts to stay sane in these troubling times.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhether we work in nightlife or in other fields, all of us are freelancers and are severely impacted by the pandemic,\u201d says the femme*-forward party<\/span> Lecken<\/span><\/a> that explores queer and femme* sexual politics, and the potential of the dancefloor as a site to embrace sexiness and erogenous pleasures in a way that decentralises gender and genitals.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis global pandemic is forcing us to become much more attuned to the distribution of privilege and vulnerability in our societies and across the globe as something we must never lose sight of or become complacent about,\u201d Lecken explains.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>For them, the crisis is teaching us two things: “1) When established structures are collapsing, it becomes apparent how communities are impacted differently depending on their citizenship, race, gender, sexuality and the political regime they live under. This global pandemic is forcing us to become much more attuned to the distribution of privilege and vulnerability in our societies and across the globe as something we must never lose sight of or become complacent about. 2) We will hopefully come out of this with a much more robust toolkit of skills and technologies for grassroots organising, and a new perspective on how to adapt it for the future.”<\/p>\n

\u201cOur membership has effectively had their income swept out from under their feet,\u201d says its members. \u201cThe strip club has closed, leaving us with very few options.\u201d Even if online sex work is a possibility, the pandemic has seen a mass relocation of in-person workers online, so there is over-saturation as well as a whole set of new considerations related to online work to contend with.

Room 4 Resistance<\/span><\/a>, the Berlin-based collective creating intentional feminist spaces prioritising womxn, queer, non-binary, trans, inter, BIPOC, and those who are most on the margin, was one of the first club collectives whose event was postponed due to the Covid-19 outbreak. Even though the decision seemed difficult to accept first, they decided to deal with the situation by sharing information and resources. \u201cEarlier this month, we put together<\/span> a document<\/span><\/a> to direct people to some reliable information, tools for collective care and mutual resources to help support our communities in navigating the crisis,\u201d they say.<\/span><\/p>\n
