Melt Your Worries And Your Hunger Pains At Paradiso

Taco13

I didn’t expect Paradiso at all. When invitations were extended I thought we’d be visiting just another restaurant, the kind with space for 100 and scores of stressed-out waiters. Instead, we’re brought to the tiny shop front of a building on Oppelner Strasse, a barebones room that at first glance is easy to miss. This … Read more Melt Your Worries And Your Hunger Pains At Paradiso

Nakhane 26 crop

As a multidisciplinary artist, it’s hard to peg Nakhane to one artform. We met Nakhane for the first time last year when he and director John Trengrove brought their film The Wound, which Nakhane starred in and which was short-listed for an Oscar nomination, to Berlinale. Since then Nakhane has taken a break from acting … Read more Nakhane’s “You Will Not Die” Lends Fashion To Trauma

“To Be Gay is to Be Political.” Scott Grabell’s Homopropaganda is All about Empowerment

BERLIN LOVES YOU Scott Grabel The Blue Bunny Featured Image 2

Photography as performance—and as protest, is the heartbeat of LOVEGAYPEOPLE, a mission forged by Berlin’s own Scott Grabell, or Scotty the Blue Bunny’s, that links the ‘40s and the first-wave AIDS of the ‘80s to modern photographs of strong, dynamic gay people. These performances—found in each living, breathing photograph, taken by Scotty himself—offer a “flood of politically obvious … Read more “To Be Gay is to Be Political.” Scott Grabell’s Homopropaganda is All about Empowerment

This event, his first solo forage into the Berlin art scene at OPEN WALLS Gallery, begins September 10. And this transition from grand walls to up-close-and-personal seems … Read more Street Artist ALANIZ Premieres “La Calle Es Un Espejo” at OPEN WALLS Gallery
