ALL FRUITS RIPE is a new film series at TRAUMA BAR UND KINO for BIPOC filmmakers (black, indigenous, people of colour) exploring LGBTQ* themes and topics. The title originates from the Jamaican Patois expression meaning »all is well« and aims to highlight the powerful and impactful work of visual artists working across marginalised, socio-political intersections.

The night will feature a selection of films from four Berlin-based artists, exploring black queer relationships, Germany’s colonial history, the convergence of black traditions and rituals in addition to a profile on Berlin first BPOC based drag house.

The event will be followed by a panel discussion moderated by ALL FRUITS RIPE founder, Candice Nembhard, further exploring the purpose behind the selected films, the need for BIPOC and LGBTQ* representation in archives and digital media, as well as Berlin’s impact on queer people of colour and their creative processes.
