On Sat, May 16th, we are hosting an evening of culture, community, and music at Refuge. Inspired by #AAPI (Asian American & Pacific Islander) month, we’re centering artists and vendors from Berlin’s vibrant Asian diaspora:

This community event is free to attend, but encourages donations to align with the efforts of ICE OUT and related initiatives opposing anti-immigrant rhetoric and action. In doing so, our aim is to foster support for overseas diaspora, making the statement that cultural observances – whether official or not – matter, and so does what happens to diaspora communities everywhere.
Donations will be directed to
@iwspace.de , a Berlin-based feminist and anti-racist collective made up of migrant, refugee, and non-migrant women. The group focuses on supporting refugee women and advocating around issues like asylum rights, deportation, and social isolation.
See you
