This event is a collaboration of Ukrainian team of organizers BURRE, charity label I Shall Sing Until My Land Is Free and independent artists in Berlin. AGGRESSIVE LANGUAGE is a conceptual work existing on crossfade between non-entertaining audio-visual event and alternative clubnight, that is dedicated to resistance to imperialistic aggression, searching for a common uniting message of Ukrainian, Palestinian and Syrian communities in Berlin.
The event will contain 3 main mediums: full-night line-up of experimental musicians, performative panel discussion and visual works. AGGRESSIVE LANGUAGE groups up experimental acts of international artists, consolidated by solidarity and common search and includes Palestinian, Syrian and Ukrainian representers.
In times of fragility the one who has experienced violence must forever stay attentive and empathic towards other violence happening. We believe that groups in risk are the one building a new form of cultural activism in Berlin, so we speak.
Let us introduce you to our line – current object of admiration of our team:)
CLUSTER LIZARD (LIVE)
Interdisciplinary mixed media project by two Ukrainian artists Dmytro Fedorenko and Kateryna Zavoloka, now based in Berlin. Conceptual inspiration for Cluster Lizard was driven mainly by futuristic ideas of some prominent science fiction writers, experimental and radical sci-fi movies, abstract painters, futuristic techno-activists, and many other great artists, who offered their view of the future, far and near, social and esoteric, technical and spiritual. Cluster Lizard creates a dystopian soundtrack for a bizarre sci-fi movie that was not filmed yet.
We are honored to hold the presentation of the material of their new album at our event. Be careful, it might be life changing!

BROSHUDA (LIVE)
Performance of Broshuda is a powerful wall of immersive and emotional soundscapes with unexpected sketches which at the same time show and disguise their inner logic while transporting a diverse range of carefully distilled feelings and emotions.
He masterfully combines elements of sound art, electroacoustic techniques, chopped spoken word dissections and field recorded material, as well as more rhythmically oriented and noise-heavy excursions creating liminal, yet extremely personal artificial space.
PHAROAH CHROMIUM (LIVE)
The solo project of Berlin artist Ghazi Barakat, German-Palestinian sound artist and composer Ghazi Barakat. He has worked in various music fields, from indie (as Boy from Brazil or with Stereo Total), to experimental electronics (as Pharaoh Chromium). Works of Pharoah Chromium combine krautrock and psychedelic aesthetics with deep political and cultural researches. A project of a mutoid post krautrock, psychedelism ambient, and anxious landscapes.
For our event Pharoah Chromium will present an unreleased album, inspired by the Arab Cold War that took place in the sultanat of Oman. The base of the musical work is a record with songs sung by the children of this revolution.
