Karmaklubb* & Friends at KODE, Bergen Kunsthall, and Landmark!

Karmaklubb* is taking over KODE 4, Bergen Kunsthall, and Landmark 10 September, with a full day of queerness and joy! Karmaklubb* offers talks, performances, Drag shows, and DJ sets. The event is part of Karmaklubb*s ongoing project ‘Queering the Museum’ — which examines several art institutions with a queer gaze.

The day starts with a panel discussion at Bergen Kunsthall (< direct link), second floor at 2 PM, where Maike Statz, Danja Burchard, Tine Semb (Karmaklubb*), Cassie Brødskive will do a panel discussion on queer spaces. The conversation is part of Bergen Kunsthall’s Plattform/Platform series, moderated by Nora-Swantje Almes.

In the evening, Karmaklubb* has invited the city’s local drag scene to KODE 4. From 9.30 PM, Tårnsalen will be filled with various drag acts from Cassie Brødskive with Haus of Friele artists Juan Felipe Machista, Luna Palmer and Maple Thorpe, and the legendary Frida Marida. You can also see an exclusive screening of the short art film Cassie Brødskive x Frida Marida, Queering the Museum — Preus (2022) (3:17 min). In addition, Jorge & Thomas will perform Distance Closed, part 2, which explores pole and contemporary dance.

The evening ends again back at Bergen Kunsthall, Landmark, where Karmaklubb* invites you for a fabulous club night. Julie Silset (Idephone Records) and fxggxt play all evening, with possible Drag surprises interspersed with the DJ sets.
