POETIC TANDEM is a biweekly event, where you can bring your poems or texts to get translated in an exchange to do the same with others! Like a language tandem, but for poets and writers.
If you’re not a translator, don’t worry – we are not looking for professional translations. We are doing this collective effort to rewrite the others text in your mother tongue! It’s not that hard, its a lot of fun and can connect us with our polyglot city!
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Bring a poem or a short text around 250 words (half a prose page, or one verse page). You’re also welcome If you don’t have a text and you only want to translate to your mother tongue.
We will very thankful if you could pre-register, so we can know how many languages we will be counting on

The event takes place on the 27th of August starting at 19:00.

Can you hear it? Can you feel it? It`s time for midweek DISKO again! After a relaxing summer hiatus we’re ready to calm down the heat and celebrate life, love and community through music. Fall through and shake your legs to the most unique genre bending party in Berlin-Wedding aka DISKO INTERNATIONAL. This time we team up with our well known friends DJ QUIEN and RADIO VAMPIRO.

RADIO VAMPIRO is the Berlin-based project of Beto, músic selector, DJ, radio host, psychologist, and cultural curator originally from El Salvador. A resident at Cashmere Radio and host of regular shows on other independent radio stations, he is known for eclectic DJ sets spanning house, breaks, electro, disco, and Latin American rhythms such as Latin soul, cumbia, salsa, reggae en español, and other tropical and psychedelic sounds. He has performed at clubs and festivals across Europe and Latin America, while also exploring the musical heritage of Central America and Latin America through radio shows, listening sessions, and archival research, creating connections between dance music, cultural memory, and community.

DJ QUIEN, Born in La Paz, Bolivia, has been DJing for 25+ years, delving into a diverse array of musical genres. His exploration has taken him from the captivating and elusive rhythms of Cumbia, funk, soul, disco, and boogie to the throbbing electronic beats, often delving into the depths of bass-heavy sounds. Throughout his journey, he’s incorporated elements of turntablism, resulting in a versatile and dynamic range of musical experiences. DJ Quien masterfully blends the artistic with the technical, delivering electrifying dance floors and leaving audiences in a state of wonder.
He is co-founder of the Oi Mas Bass label and collective, spearheaded the creation of the South American digital arts festival Kiebre, won the Soul Side HCMC Scratch Battle and became Sample Music Festivals Portablism Champion in 2025. His involvement further extends to Berlin’s Bassism Crew and the international CRISP Collective.
