Since 2017 acting in concert has built a context for queer and anti-racist projects, that experiments with how people gather through sound. acting in concert is mostly based in a very small city called Witten in the Ruhr area in Germany where we organize festivals or concert evenings, if we can muster the courage and endurance to go through with it. Since 2020 acting in concert has also been working as an online label. In all these works we would like to try to focus on ways of relating, such as solidarity, responsibility and care. Together we want to practice how we can create spaces in music that are as free of hierarchies as possible and hopefully are places of retreat for many people – against a violent normative, racist, patriarchal and capitalist world.

Seit 2017 arbeitet acting in concert an einem Kontext für queere und antirassistische Projekte, die damit experimentieren, wie Menschen durch Sound zusammenkommen. acting in concert findet meist in der kleinen Stadt Witten im Ruhrgebiet statt, wo wir Festivals oder Konzertabende organisieren, wenn wir den Mut und die Ausdauer haben. Seit 2020 arbeitet acting in concert außerdem als online Label. Dabei möchten wir versuchen Beziehungsweisen wie Solidarität, Verantwortung und Fürsorge in den Fokus unserer Arbeiten zu rücken. Und gemeinsam erproben, wie wir möglichst enthierarchisierte Räume in der Musik schaffen können, die hoffentlich für viele Menschen Rückzugsorte - entgegen einer gewaltvollen normativen, rassistischen, patriarchalen und kapitalistischen Welt - sein können.
