Bonebroth (@laura.ote ) b2b @lloydfears recorded at @aktionsgruppe.retreat group exhibition in Berlin on May 24th 2024. „The best set ever played to an empty room. Hot rain pouring down through the open doors setting a vibe for travellers and loiterers next to one of Berlin’s biggest train stations. For people who are fans of labels like Principé, Subreal and Nyege Nyege.“ Link in bio.

Shane Lizard (@kunde18_ ) recorded at @aktionsgruppe.retreat group exhibition in Berlin on May 24th 2024. „The set is ​​a selection of tracks that I currently find rhythmically or percursively exciting. Many of the tracks have influences from Latin music and UK bass.“ Link in bio.

Demegy (@demegy_ ) recorded at @aktionsgruppe.retreat group exhibition in Berlin on May 24th 2024. „Cleverly paradoxical in its concurrent comfort and desolation, Demegy’s approach both on the decks and studio takes cues from trippy electronics, haunting soundscapes and oddball techno.“ Link in bio.

Belladonna Of Sadness (@carlotta_drinkewitz ) recorded at @aktionsgruppe.retreat group exhibition in Berlin on May 24th 2024. “In my mixing style, I merge different genres to facilitate dynamic shifts and rapid transitions across various emotions and tempos. Inspired by a sentimental-intense emotional spectrum, I construct a narrative guiding listeners through a multitude of feelings, ranging from gentle nostalgia to profound darkness. I always strive for an abstract, innovative sound that challenges the boundaries of conventional listening experiences. I am a member of the FLINTA label « Vitruvian Scroll » (@vitruvian__scroll ), which creates a link between experimental and ambient music and visual art. I’m excited to share this mix featuring new releases and my all-time favorite bangers. With its shifts in tempo and emotion, the listening experience gets intense and diverse. Enjoy the highs, lows 🌬️🤍” Link in bio.

yano2d raps and produces, but has always felt at home in various artistic universes. Following a classical education in the Berlin underground, his fascination with the spoken word increasingly expanded to include colors, shapes, and plants. This is now evident in the multitude of covers and graphics he has designed. Despite the diverse soundscapes on his tapes, transatlantic experiences, connections to Haiti, and life between worlds run like a common thread through his work. For yano2d retreat signifies both recovering from the past and preparing for what lies ahead. @yano2d performs on Saturday, May 25th at 8pm at RETREAT @aktionsgruppe.retreat groupshow.

…thabo thindi is an artivist who burrows from various media, such as photography, film, poetry, performances, and the body, he confronts anti-Black racism and other forms of discrimination to advocate for the deconstruction of dominant white power structures. For …thabo retreat means Taking a moment for self retrospection in the age of everything must be fast. @thabothindi @aktionsgruppe.retreat

spätispäti is a spatial research collective using performative actions to question institutional learning structures, space production as well as trust and power relations in the city and beyond. spätispäti was founded in 2019 as a “space in a space” experiment at the Making Futures School Berlin and initiated the student seminarseminar at the UdK Berlin in 2019-2022 as a low-hierarchy, collective learning space. Currently spätispäti is researching spatial practices of resistance and the fight for a just and solidaric city for all. In 2024, the collective is part of the exhibition “Radical Playground”, addressing capitalist driven urban development in the form of a temporary casino on the parking lot of Martin Gropius Bau. For spätispäti... ...retreat is confrontation ...retreat is action ...retreat is casino. spätispäti are Antonia Lembcke, Corinna Studier, Jeanne Astrup-Chauvaux and Jonathan Heck.

Retreat: Ich mache 7 Klimmzüge und fädele mich weiter danke für die Ruhe jetzt kann ich mich doch endlich besinnen und meine Ameisen weiter krabbeln lassen ( I do 7 pull-ups and keep going. Thanks for the peace; now I can finally reflect and let my ants keep crawling). @ulrichschall @aktionsgruppe.retreat

Micki Rosi Richter is a German-Filipina artist living in Berlin. She received her degree in photo design in Barcelona. Incorporating both digital and experimental analog techniques in her practice, her work deals with the coalescence of purity and vulnerability with strength. Her images frequently depict vast swaths of emptiness — a blank space swelling with possibilities. At its core, her work may be described as an attempt to capture a sense of calm, in order to see what is most important to us. For Micki, retreat is an invitation to dance with silence, to embrace the gentle caress of healing and leads thorough the labyrinth of self- discovery and through the transformative power of surrender to the rhythm of the soul’s journey. @micki_rosi_richter @aktionsgruppe.retreat
