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







Website: Radio Against Repression (R A R)

Radio Against Repression (R A R) is the radio hour archived as a podcast that explores relationships between censorship, defunding and repression.

Inaugurated with an emergency episode to discuss the (Mis)-Education Resolution in January 2025, R A R has aired monthly episodes exploring hate speech laws in Germany; censorship as a characteristic of authoritarian regimes globally; the Occupy Against Occupation Protest Camp, among others.

Located at the heart of the Berlin’s activist movements and ‘front-line’ in the face of violent police oppression, Radio Against Repression speaks to those directly effected by the sharp right wing lurch as it manifests in Germany.

A fundraising round will follow in due course by the end of the year.
