Karaoke Against Censorship

10–23
Karaoke Against Censorship 2023 at Baynatna, the Arabic Library in Berlin, was upported by EVZ Foundation and the Federal Foreign Office of Germany in the context of international lab “Urban Citizenship in Transition” by CISR Berlin.

Karaoke Against Censorship is an open karaoke event that invites dissidents, activists, and citizens who have lived under authoritarianism, or allies who have families and friends impacted by these repression to curate a list of songs together: we invite you to submit songs that have been censored now or in the past, or depicting revolutionary struggles and protest movements in different localities, we encourage everyone to sing in our languages without censorship in Berlin together. 

As an open karaoke format, Karaoke Against Censorship wishes to promote productive urban friction through collective singing and dialoguing in open spaces. By singing together different censored songs, the event aims to create visibility for the struggles of migrants who have lived or are still now living under censorship, and create space to foster transnational solidarity among dissidents from different contexts and backgrounds.
