Drop-ins & Workshops
City Waste Art: Creative workshop with the artist Giò di Sera
13:00 – 16:00WELTSTUDIO
“City Waste” is a street art creative workshop at BERLIN GLOBAL in which we creatively engage with waste, recycling and sustainability. Together we build our own 3D city models and street signs – from what is actually thrown away: plastic, cardboard, packaging and more.
Many individual parts come together to form a shared urban vision. Inspired by street culture, street art and upcycling, we show how waste can become real art – and how circular economy can be experienced creatively rather than remaining theoretical. Participants can also take their own creations home.
In cooperation with StreetUniverCity Berlin e.V.

Breakdance workshop – history of breaking in Berlin

A dance journey through Berlin’s breakdance history: José aka Beatsurfer (City Rockers Crew) provides insights into the beginnings of breakdance in Berlin from 1983 – with vivid, practical examples from the old school. B‑Boy Niven (Got the Flava Crew) shows how breaking has developed to the present day and which styles and techniques shape the scene in 2026.

Meet the Curator: Pop-up conversations with the exhibition makers
14:30 – 15:00, 15:00 – 15:30, 15:30 – 16:00 & 16:00 – 16:30various rooms in the exhibition
Do you sometimes wonder how an exhibition comes into being? Whose stories are included? How does spatial design emerge? And how do exhibition makers deal with sensitive or controversial topics? BERLIN GLOBAL is a collective product – not only of a large museum team, but also of numerous cooperation partners from Berlin’s urban society. Each room has a complex development history that can hardly be reconstructed once the exhibition has opened.
For the 5th anniversary, exhibition makers offer a look behind the scenes. They talk about decisions, challenges and moments of success and answer all the questions you bring with you.
Organisational note: The short pop-up conversations take place in the exhibition space without seating.

Claire Waldoff: I just want to sing about life… A musical biography by & with Sigrid Grajek
17:00 – 17:30Piano: Stefanie Rediske
From 1907 to 1935, Claire Waldoff was the star on the stages of the great cabarets and variety theatres – not only in Berlin, where she lived in the Bayerisches Viertel. She performed in shirt and tie, smoked pipe and cigars, drank Nordhäuser Korn with the painter Heinrich Zille and could swear like a dustcart driver. Her voice was what one calls a “real powerhouse” – and she struck a chord like no one else because she wanted to “sing about life”. Her songs became hits that every child knew. She was already a “new woman” before the term even existed.
Actress Sigrid Grajek retraces the life story of an extraordinary artist in song and performance against the backdrop of German history.
DJ set: Femdelic
17:35 – 18:00 & 18:35 – 19:00Dance into the evening with Berlin DJ icon Femdelic! DJ Femdelic effortlessly switches between the different facets of funk: electro boogie, afro, house and disco, enriching her sets with undiscovered gems from her vast record collection. The relationship and interplay between rhythm, groove and body movement are deeply rooted in Femdelic’s DNA. With technical finesse, a sense for what works on the dance floor and perfect timing for surprising twists, Femdelic gets the Schlüterhof dancing – that is the magic!

Romani Weiss Swingtett with a guest appearance by Malika Alaoui
18:00 – 18:30Experience Sinti swing and jazz manouche in its most vibrant form – virtuosic, captivating and full of joy of playing. The renowned musicians Romani Weiss, Hannah Bienert, Manolito Steinbach and Axel Obert combine the unmistakable Django Reinhardt sound with elements from the Great American Songbook, classical jazz manouche and contemporary jazz. The band presents authentic Sinti swing, refined improvisations and emotional solos. As a special highlight, the band has invited guest singer Malika Alaoui. Alaoui has worked with renowned artists and toured worldwide for four years as lead singer in Cirque du Soleil’s Alegría – enchanting the Schlüterhof for us.
Anthony Hüseyin
19:00 – 19:30Anthony Hüseyin is a non-binary queer interdisciplinary maker working in music theatre, performance art, and contemporary opera. Born in Şanlıurfa, Turkey, they are currently based in Berlin.
Anthony Hüseyin invites the audience at Schlüterhof-Courtyard into a musical landscape shaped by transformation, memory, and resistance.
At the core of the program is Project O — a transdisciplinary body of work that unfolds as a personal and artistic quest around gender, voice, and belonging. Centered around the Turkish pronoun “O,” which holds “he,” “she,” and “it” at once, the work moves in cycles without beginning or end, tracing a return to childhood, to memory, and to the formation of a nonbinary self. Emerging from this ground, O Biçim Şarkılar / O Shaped Songs and hOpe Shaped Songs shift the focus toward questions of home, freedom, identity, and belonging.
Set against the backdrop of Berlin and its realities as a city of migration, these works expose the tension between the promise of safety and the lived experience of exclusion. Through a nonbinary lens, they navigate displacement, language, and the fragile construction of belonging within contemporary immigrant politics.
The program also includes excerpts from Crime of Passion, an experimental opera that confronts the historical and ongoing romanticization of violence.

19:35 – 20:00 & 20:35 – 21:00Dance with DJ Mala to Afrobeats, Dancehall, Amapiano, Latin, Baile Funk, Hip-Hop, R&B, House and Middle Eastern sounds.

Güner Künier
20:00 – 20:30“Yaramaz” is a Turkish word; translated one-to-one it means something like “good-for-nothing”. The expression is often used towards small children when they are cheeky and rebellious. Güner Künier named her second album “Yaramaz” to tell her own coming-of-age story using the means of punk and post-punk. Together with her band she brings tracks from this album to our anniversary stage. Güner Künier was born in 1990 in Izmir, Turkey, and moved with her family to Flensburg at the age of three; in 2014 she moved to Berlin. Her debut EP was released in 2021, followed a year later by her first album Aşk. Today, Güner Künier is one of the most important protagonists of the Berlin post-punk scene. Her music moves between post-punk and minimal/synth punk – and also delivers shoegaze sounds, a Velvet Underground noir vibe and a touch of krautrock as well as references to Riot Grrrl. Look forward to it!

BABYJOY
21:00 – 22:00Since 2018, Joy Grant, also known as BABYJOY, has been celebrated as one of the most exciting newcomers and great hopes of German-language rap. Today she is an integral part of the Berlin hip-hop and RnB scene. At the anniversary festival she takes over the Schlüterhof stage as headliner. With her soft yet raw voice, BABYJOY glides effortlessly over trap beats, blending jazz, RnB and conscious rap – and switching confidently between German, English and French. Her sound is multifaceted, urban and unmistakable. With family roots in the USA and France, she was shaped musically from an early age: her father a musician, music always present. Her own entry into the music world was therefore only a matter of time. After a short, ultimately discontinued jazz education, BABYJOY consistently pursued her artistic path independently. Following the debut EP “Troubadour” (2021), numerous feature and collaboration requests followed, including from Ahzumjot and badchieff. With “Ophelia” (2022) she showed a powerful yet emotional side, creating songs full of dynamics and depth. “Berlin Tag & Nacht” (2025) ultimately captures the many facets of the city – raw, vibey, by day and by night.
Dance together with BABYJOY from Berlin day into the night!
