"Key Bâb" plays with associations: We think of the dish kebab, the word key and the Arabic word باب for door. "Key Bâb" aims to open doors for marginalized groups: With the "Key Bâb" event series, the project team wants to act like a key into event spaces that have so far tended to be homogeneously dominated by majority society and open doors for marginalized groups.

Events will take place every three months until the end of next year. The second "Key Bâb" event is thematically based on the principle of reciprocity, danûstandin in Kurdish: the atmosphere and spirit of the evening is to be created between the music and

"Key Bâb" asks the important questions of current event culture: Which perspectives are chronically missing? Who is booked little or not at all? Who has little access to cultural (promotion) and can develop their own practice? Who can name current social problems from their own experience? "Key Bâb" invites you to events with BIPoC and FLINTA* artists. On December 1, Ayawa Karmakind Dot.Mode & M.I.CANKY Gîn Bali will be on stage to celebrate diverse realities and perspectives of the music scene.

The 01.12. will also offer something different artistically: DJ sets will each be combined with live performances, creating a special synthesis of party and concert atmosphere. Music will be produced on live instruments, creating a special kind of authenticity and intensity.

"Key Bâb" is developing an intersectional awareness concept for its own events; in addition to an awareness team, there will be a room that offers an alternative to the party atmosphere and an awareness stand.

The aim is to make the rooms as accessible as possible. The project team asks for registrations for access needs so that a solution can be found for existing barriers (registration via keybab.kollektiv@gmail.com).
