A Diy Queer-feminist Instagram Workshop in a church? Yes, at Dice Conference + Festival (31.10–02.11.2019) boundaries aren’t just pushed, but broken down completely. The result is three days of music featuring an extensive line-up of non-binary, trans and female DJs and performers. The music lineup of mainly electronic acts at Kreuzberg’s Bi Nuu space features genre-hopping veteran and iconoclast DJ Marcelle; SHYGIRL, the fierce alter-ego of London-based DJ and singer Blane Muise; and deep house legend Lady Blacktronika. Meanwhile, the Tabor Church is where the festival’s theme of “Overtime” – how society values (or doesn’t value) performers’ time and work – is pursued, with rousing workshops like “Negotiating your Worth“. The space also hosts a multitude of audiovisual wonders including Parisian DJ and producer CRYSTALLMESS with a “pluridisciplinary” show combining music, video and 3D. It concludes a festival that provokes as much discourse as it does dancing. (Text: Benji Haughton / Photos: Lisa Wassmann, Taborkirche)

The Mini Bazaar is gradually developing into a small institution. “Perhaps Berlin’s most beautiful children’s flea market”, the Bazaar is aimed specifically at mothers and fathers who are interested in sustainable childrenswear. On Sunday (27.10.2019), Little Years, the Berlin family blogzine, is inviting parents to sell used, well-preserved children’s clothing alongside shop owners who want to clear treasures from their outlets. The focus is on higher-end kids brands like Bobo Choses, Mini Rodini and Tiny Cottons, this time available for less. In addition, there are – also sustainable –Berlin labels like Monkind, which will be offering samples and Second Season items. Lovingly designed play and nappy corners, arts & crafts tables, workshops and refreshments ensure that the whole family will feel right at home in the beautiful rooftop loft at the Aufbau Haus.
