Expatriarch (Radio, Booking Agency)

type=digital_archives

Info:
the platform Expatriarch provides a monthly queer-feminist radio show (broadcasted in Berlin, Dresden and Chemnitz and via (free) streaming on demand on their website), a booking agency and event production. Emphasis on music, arts and popular culture, gender binary myth/heteronormativity, lgbtiq, queer and feminist theory, camp, intersectionality etc.

Statement:
Expatriarch expatriates from the patriarchy, abandoning a macho society and envisioning what comes beyond – with a killer soundtrack to for the long road trip ahead.

Expatriarch is a multifaceted platform for music, art and other exploits emanating from planet Earth’s current queer creative capital, offering a transgenre radio show (partnered with BLN.FM, coloRadio Dresden and Radio T Chemnitz), booking agency and event production. Life is a cabaret, and in Berlin, you don’t need a license for dancing.

Expatriarch operates not simply by empowering women, but by dismantling the gender binary myth altogether. Moving beyond linear thought processes (e.g. masculine/feminine, natural/artificial), Expatriarch maneuvers queer and feminist theory into 4-D experiences from a post-whatever perspective, serving as a muse, a midwife and a mass murderer of culture.
