“Tipkin” is 20!

The radio show for pop feminism, everyday chaos, and queer politics has been airing on Radio Blau since 2005.
That’s a reason to celebrate—on Saturday, May 10, starting at 7 p.m., live on site or on air, followed by a disco from 9 to midnight with STT & Gritpop and others.

All supporters, fans, and friends are warmly invited. Feel free to bring a song that you associate with Tipkin or send us something by email—an audio clip or a short message is also welcome: tipkin@gmx.net.

And: drinks instead of gifts! Smoke-free!
We’re looking forward to seeing you!

On Wednesday, April 9th, from 8 PM to 10 PM, you can experience a live concert in our radio studio again. Radiolux is an audiovisual trio from Leipzig consisting of Marek Brandt, Inka Perl, and Fabian Niermann. They blend improvised music, field recordings, brass, and electronics with live-animated visual compositions. So come by and let yourself be immersed!

Workshops for FLINTA*

Our project “Direktsignal,” which primarily (but not exclusively) aims to empower migrant and BiPoC FLINTA* individuals to express their own topics and concerns through media, is in full swing. We offer numerous workshops and meetings specifically for women and genderqueer individuals, which you can always find at https://www.radioblau.de/termine/direktsignal/. Naturally, the project also produces radio broadcasts; their schedules can be found here.​

According to the 2020 Global Media Monitoring Project, only 25% of the people heard, seen, or read about in newspapers, television, and radio news are women, indicating that women are generally less present as interviewees or subjects in the media. This underrepresentation is even more pronounced for migrant women, who are often portrayed in stereotypical ways when they are featured. Therefore, it is essential for our democracy to amplify their voices and make their diverse perspectives visible to promote a fair and inclusive media landscape.​

This initiative is co-financed by tax funds based on the budget approved by the Saxon State Parliament.
