For the opening of documenta fifteen, we invite you to various parties, taking place simultaneously across the city. The night at WH22, hosted in collaboration with lumbung artists Party Office b2b Fadescha, welcomes Turkana and Black Sistarz (Catu Diosis and R3ign Drops).

Recently, Catu Diosis has joined forces with R3ign Drops alias Black Sistarz to work on an EP. Their performance at documenta fifteen will be their first show in Europe as a duo.

South Sudanese DJ and Producer Turkana sees the dancefloor as a battleground that feeds on the tension between oppression and liberation.
