About this listen

The live radio hour archived as a podcast that explores relationships between censorship, defunding and repression. Broadcast live out of Berlin on DAB+ Chanel 7D monthly, and thereafter published as a podcast, with additional guest interviews dropping throughout the year. Meet performer and anthropologist Jara Nassar, independent radio activist of 10 years jewelz, and artist Alex Head. Where state repression of artistic freedom foreshadows the repression of the private citizen’s freedom of speech, this show will seek to turn the microphone, to witness how censorship and repression are re-shaping the cultural landscape of Berlin, while artists and activists find creative ways to communicate their urgent concerns to one another. All against a backdrop of evermore troubled relationships between artists, institutions, creative scenes and political commonalities. Each responding to policies emanating from the political Far Right to defund the arts, social infrastructure, education and welfare. Created with sub_ʇxǝʇ radio. Affiliated with Arts and Cultural Alliance Berlin.

  • Compassionate Detachment with Alice Creischer, Andreas Siekmann
    Feb 18 2026

    A discussion of the artist duo's current show "The Circulation of Labour, Capital and Life as a Supply Chain", that mixes artistic intervention with the permanent artifacts of the Dommuseum Hildesheim. We explore the political expediency of racism both historically and in the context of censorship, defunding and repression in contemporary Germany.
