A lecture by UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese, as part of the February 19th event: Conditions of Life Calculated to Destroy, Legal and Forensic Perspectives on the Ongoing Gaza Genocide - at bUm, Berlin.

The lecture was supposed to take place in a big lecture hall at Freie universitat, along with Eyal Weizman, director of Forensic Architecture. but the university cancelled the event after massive critique, amongst others from the Israeli ambassador, and from the mayor of Berlin, Kai Wegner, who called it antisemitic. The relocated event at bUm took place under police presence. A few days earlier, Albanese’s lecture at a University in Munich had also been cancelled, as we mentioned in Episode One.

Huge thanks to UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese, Zoë Claire Miller and bUm Berlin.

Radio Against Repression is the radio hour and podcast that explores relationships between censorship, defunding and repression. Broadcast live out of Berlin on 88.4 FM monthly, and thereafter published as podcast, with additional guest interviews dropping throughout the year. 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.
