Since 2012 the Freak de l’Afrique collective has exposed Berlin’s nightlife to the wealth of African clubsounds. From Afrobeats and Afro House to Kuduro and Coupé Décalé and beyond, all of these genres are an integral part of the crews’ performances and offerings to the city. On the 14th November the Freak de l’Afrique Soundsystem and its’ dancers will present a unique showcase combining sounds from the motherland with dance choreographies from various African regions.
Mista Wallizz will be on the decks accompanied by DJ Nomi on the Mic, with their dancers Christon, Bella, Lucia & Exorcisse on the floor offering a sample of the richness and diversity of African creative expression, through their arresting choreography.

ECOSYSTEMS OF CREATIVITY
Ecosystems of Creativity is a four part series, which will highlight the culture of the collective, exploring how they raise the creative pulse of cities and enable them (and those within) to thrive.
Collectives function as physical and abstract networks of expression and community: they are incubators of diverse perspectives and practices that are often radical and unconstrained by societal norms. Often formed to create representation and space where it previously has not existed, collectives are inherently critical and both democratically and forcefully reshape their environments, diversifying the urban voice. Utilising the mediums of dance, discussion, music and meditation, the series will connect with a few of Berlin’s collectives showcasing how these ecosystems of creativity shape and contribute to the evolution of cities like Berlin.

COLLECTIVE PRACTICES
Over the course of several months, this series will examine “collective practice” as it relates to artistic creation, cultural organizing and social coexistence. Together with all participating players, we, a team of cultural producers, look forward to researching, discussing, understanding and practicing collectivity across four thematic explorations (#NARRATIVES / #KNOWLEDGES / #CARE / #RESISTANCE).
