Space Is the Place! A Kanakfuturist Mystery
Veronika Gerhard
A film and music project investigating Blaxploitation and science fiction featuring young post migrants, made by akademie der autodidakten in Berlin-Kreuzberg. The Berlin subway network is understood here as a space in which the imaginary is negotiated by subjects, cities and states. Along the U8 line, which magically connects the so-called social hotspots from Neukölln to Wedding, a new version of Sun Ras Space Is the Place unfolds.
