WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS

WTFH is dedicated to queer & feminist club and creative culture.

WTFH aims to emphasize, network and promote the work of FLINTA* artists.

WTFH sets the working environments, individual & collective strategies as well as the experiences of and by FLINTA* artists to focus.

We believe everyone should have access to equal opportunities, treatment and pay.

On Thursday, 15th of August 2024, What The Future Holds finally returns to Ohm for “RITUALS”, the third installment in a series of club nights and creative events highlighting current and future dynamics of the broader Berlin cultural landscape.

NFT release - Manel El Jmal

3D-artist Manel El Jmal is behind the creation and visualization of these post-human creatures. Their universe is photographic, fantastic and political. The motto being Heroines, queer women and fluid bodies are at the heart of this project. These bodies, often mistreated and hypersexualized; are here sanctified in order to reclaim their uniqueness, beauty and power.

Podcast #001 - Dangermami

Heroines Sessions is an interview series in which we share resources, strategies, and stories from our experiences as FLINTA* in the creative industry.

For the first episode we interviewed Dangermami, the foundress of Femme Bass Mafia, a DJ mentoring program for womenx, trans- and non-binary people.

About WTFH

We want to emphasise, represent and network FLINTA* club culture, both on the artist and on the business side. We want to connect people of all genders in the industry – and the club. We are not in competition with existing initiatives, event series, collectives or networks, we are AND.

It’s important for us to think about our own position to not reproduce existing structures. We are aware of the different access opportunities to resources. Skill-sharing, complicity, unbroken sensitivity – buzzwords, yet necessary trades of working and living together. All of WTFH projects try to follow an intersectional infrastructure.

This means that we realise the various tasks, positions and work processes (from booking over editing and public relations to production, documentation and catering) accordingly with FLINTA* and/or queer people and/or BIPoC. Ultimately, WTFH is the vision of artists networking as artists, getting into conversation, playing in front of a broad, diverse audience and not having to be positioned as a "FLINTA* commodity": Privileges are not overcome by renouncing them, but by fighting for them together and for all who want them. On this website we present clubs, festivals, labels and artists who think and work with equitability in a practical way.

We aim to build a platform to list, feature and document the diversity within the creative industries.
