out.cast pours from the inside out, spilling sounds and voices of dreams and struggles, of new maps and bodily territories. Inside becomes outside and the outside is always already inside. out.cast manifests political messages, it activates non-hierarchical, multilingual and multi-perspective knowledge in the acoustic spheres of the city.
New episodes coming out in the summer of 2025: out.cast CONSTRUCTION AND CONTROL - these new episodes take us through parks, beyond fences, into construction sites, clubs and community spaces. Which path do we take and what's in our ears as we drift thru the city?
The people and ideas behind out.cast: since autumn 2023, a group of activists and artists have been working intensively to develop out.cast - a collaborative podcast from Kreuzberg, facilitated by studio lärm at FHXB Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg Museum.
In the diverse audio pieces that have come to existence since then, we get to listen to strong, sad and hopeful stories. They tell of dreams of memories of places that were once home, places that no longer exist. We listen to struggles and hopes of bipoc Ukrainian refugees. We follow a mosaic of voices exploring the various shapes of fear experienced in Berlin. Journeys from individual to collective bodies, decolonizing pleasure. We listen to laughter, singing and remembrance at Kottbusser Tor – we listen to Kotti as a home.
out.cast is a podcast series created by Lana Semenova, Alex Berk, Maryna Usmanova, Tazir, Nine, Malek Khemiri, Bino Byansi Byakuleka, Jeanne Möschler, Valeria Mujaes & Diana Torres Valencia, Dalila Daut, Kalle, Polina, Viola, Alejandra, and Céline Barry.
A project by studio lärm in cooperation with FHXB Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg Museum.
In this episode, we follow the faint but insistent trails known as desire paths—the shortcuts people carve across parks and fields when the built walkways don’t work out for us. These paths expose a quiet truth: the structures laid out for us, however orderly, often feel restrictive. Our footsteps carry a stubborn urge to walk our own map.
It's possible to live in another reality, right in the middle of Berlin.
ohm is the infinite mantra. it drifts, reshapes, and re-spells itself across time and space.
under neoliberal global capitalism, it drifts endlessly—at times commodified as a brand or company, at times canonized in yoga classes, at times reappropriated, or inherited as
surname, and inscribed as the physical formula of resistance: Ω.
ohm ist das unendliche mantra. es treibt und verwandelt sich, es buchstabiert sich über zeit und raum neu. unter dem neoliberalen globalen kapitalismus streift es endlos weiter – mal als marke produktiv gemacht, mal als unternehmen kommerzialisiert, mal in yogakursen kanonisiert, mal wiederaneignet oder als familienname vererbt, und schließlich...
Who gets to make noise? Using ASMR (Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response) techniques, Polina and Viola reappropriate urban sounds recorded at the many construction sites that appear almost daily around Berlin.
