4. 1: “Taboo?”Page 04
The publication Taboo? is asking if the London Club Kids scene is still pro-
voking the Post-Brexit society in 2017 with their outrageous looks. Taboo?
is exploring the conflicts between the flamboyant group of the queer un-
derground and the Post-Brexit society. On the streets the Club Kids get
complimented most of the time, but other times they also get insulted or
even threatened because of their extravagant display.
During my stays in London I interviewed ten protagonists of the cur-
rent scene and asked them what it means to be queer in the United King-
dom today, how they define their own identity, what motivates them and
how the general public reacts on them.

6. Background:
The movement of the Club Kids originated
in the 1980's and spoke to extravagant queer
misfits. The Club Kids went to club nights
in grotesque, outrageous and sculptural out-
fits that not only questioned gender roles and
beauty standards, but also mocked them.
Back in the 1980's the British society
was shaped by the conservative government
of Margaret Thatcher, which massively re-
pressed queer life, for example with a law that
banned "the promotion of homosexuality"
in schools and local authorities. This meant
homosexuality could only be covered in a
negative way in public life and it stigmatised
queerness in general.
The King of the Club Kids Leigh Bowery felt
alienated by the values of the heteronorma-
tive society and how it treated queer people.
The scene wanted to shock society
with their looks, but didn't actively fight
against the people who repressed them. They
built a safe space for everyone who wanted
to develope their identity freely in those clubs
without judgement by the outside world.

10. For Claire Issue I interviewed the Berlin-based cabaret artist Sigrid
Grajek who is impersonating Claire Waldoff at present.
"Raus mit den Männern aus dem Reichstag" (Get men out of the
parliament) is probably the most remembered song quote of Berlin
cabaret singer Claire Waldoff, who was famous in the 1930's. Back
then this wasn't an easy thing to say due to the strict censorship.
In the publication Sigrid talks about how Claire, who was the first
woman to wear men's suits on stage, influenced her. She tells her own
story of how she grew up as a tomboyish lesbian woman in the 1970's
in a rural area of West-Germany. And most importantly, Sigrid talks
about how she created her own version of Claire Waldoff. The publica-
tion deals with her interpretation in already existing pictures.

15. 3: “The Birth Of Rap Music”Page 15
In the 1930's architects like Corbusier built concrete utopias that aimed to im-
prove the life of their tenants with community kitchens, recreational areas and
fresh food markets. People with low and high income should live door to door.
In the 1980's Grandmaster Flash described living in these monotonous and
dilapidated blocks like this: “Broken glass everywhere (...) people pissing on
the stairs (...) they just don't care (...) got no money to move out (...) rats in the
front room (...) junkies in the alley with a baseball bat (...)”
I created this booklet when I was researching what had happened in the mean-
time between the 1930's and the 1980's and it is asking if there is a relation
between architecture and rap music.

17. Aus — Das Magazin is displaying fashion photography that was created
at the University of the Arts in Bremen.
The uniting element of all these student works is that they are all
embracing mistakes. The idea behind the graphic design was to include
mistakes that happen throughout the graphic design process as a part
of the actual work instead of leaving them out.

24. What if you tell the love of your life that you don't identify with the gen-
der that was assigned to you at birth?
That is the question the Objection Issue of the ongoing Story proj-
ect is raising. Each issue of the Story project is created by another stu-
dent of the University of the Arts Bremen.
My issue is telling the story of Xavier Dolan's movie Laurence Any-
ways from 2014. Within the magazine the protagonist Laurence isn't
only tearing down gender boundaries, but more importantly she's ob-
jecting to everything the outside world is expecting from her being born
in a male body.

•8: “Zeitschrift der
Straße” [engl.: “Magazine of the street”]
(Publikation)

28. 8: “Zeitschrift der Straße”Page 28
Every issue of Zeitschrift der Straße deals with a different district in
Bremen, Germany. What is there to find and what stories does this
place tell? It interviews local people and focusses on their stories of
this place. It is sold by people in need.
The magazine was first published in 2011. The visual concept for
the magazine was realised in a workshop with students of the Universi-
ty of the Arts in Bremen and the Swiss designer Ludovic Balland. This
workshop was led by Prof. Andrea Rauschenbusch.
It received several awards for its design, e.g. by the Type Directors
Club Award (TDC) in New York and by the International Society of Ty-
pographic Designers (ISTD) in London.

30. No difference between Pop and Avantgarde.
Currently I am a Resident DJ for the party Plastic at Schwuz in
Berlin. I am a DJ since 2012 and I started out as a Resident DJ at the
Party London Calling at SchwuZ in Berlin.
Over the past five years I also played in clubs like Molotow (Ham-
burg/GER), Artheater (Cologne/GER), Nachtleben (Frankfurt am
Main/GER), Druckluft (Oberhausen/GER) Bungalow (Augsburg/GER)
and Heimat Basel (Basel/CHE).
