Via @clubcommission: While Berlin is gradually returning to normality, Ukraine is in a barely comparable state of emergency. The war of aggression launched by Putin on February 24 has cost countless lives and forced over half a million people to flee so far.
Berlin’s club culture, which is closely linked to Kyiv’s club culture, is launching a solidarity campaign for Ukraine as part of the reopening of Berlin’s clubs. A portion of the proceeds from the first club weekends will go to humanitarian aid organizations.
Who can participate?
- All clubs as well as all club cultural actors, music venues, bars, collectives, labels, DJs,….
