Make Love, Not War. Planeta Lounge: DJ Pepe Dayaw
Within the frame of Berliner Gazette Conference: Pluriverse of Peace

ZK/U BerlinSiemensstr. 27, 10551, Berlin, Germany
Step into inner space, where people can explore and reflect on their feelings. The wars and environmental crises happening outside our walls also take place inside, manifesting as grief, anguish, and fear – emotions that often engender isolation and a sense of disconnection.
DJ Pepe Dayaw will perform an original ambient ‘live set,’ inviting participants to rest and ponder their connection to human and other-than-human life on this planet. They will blend musical styles, spoken words, and live and recorded sounds, including local colors, exotic motors, and nomadic journeys. Here, for a brief moment, we can listen and move within the spaces between us.
Pepe Dayaw is a polymathic artist and producer: fashion and costume maker, performer, and indie publisher. Since moving to Europe in 2010, Dayaw has been creating situations and materialities that emerge from a synthesis of a Filipino migrant fiction: queer, musician, and proverbial jack of many trades. Through the school of love and life, Dayaw has drawn on their autoethnography: hunger, nostalgia, transits, borders, polyglottic memory, migrant love, and coming-out rituals. Music, voice, and performance become media through which collective memory and migrant imagination are brought to life.
