Electrobodies: Launch – FLINTA* Voices, Sound & Technology

Time: Sat., 10.10.2026, 13:00 – 22:00
Location: Galilee Church, Berlin-Friedrichshain

„Electrobodies: Launch – FLINTA* Voices, Sound & Technology“ is a one-day interdisciplinary event taking place on October 10, 2026, at the Galilee Church in Berlin. Curated by Katharina Bévand and Bojana (S) Knežević, the event brings together FLINTA* artists, musicians, researchers, and community members to explore the intersections of sound, technology, and feminist practice.

Participating artists: Darsha Hewitt, Fara Peluso, Caroline Cecilia Tallone, Zorka Wollny, Katharina Koch (alpha nova & galerie futura), VÍZ, Verónica Mota Galindo aka We Cyborgs

With concerts, a DIY workshop, presentations, and art talks, Electrobodies creates a space for listening, exchange, and collaborative learning. The program explores diverse artistic and critical perspectives on sound and technology and fosters dialogue between creative, activist, and community-oriented practices.

Electrobodies is designed as a starting point for future collaborations. The event aims to strengthen connections between FLINTA* actors, increase the visibility of underrepresented voices in electronic music and sound art, and initiate new forms of local collaboration.

We invite you to a day full of performances, conversations, shared knowledge and shared experiences – a day that opens up new possibilities for sound, technology and feminist future models.

The event is part of the Month of Contemporary Music in Berlin.

LISTENING TO BROKEN MUSIC — DIY WORKSHOP with Darsha Hewitt

Darsha Hewitt is an artist who works with DIY electronics, sound, and media archaeology; with a feminist hacker ethic, she uses participatory workshops to explore the material conditions of music and technology. In the workshop, participants build low-fi sound resonators from balloons, tin cans, and glue, and use them to acoustically read records and explore the physical path of recorded sound from the groove to the air. No prior knowledge is required.
