Göksu Kunak (Ankara, 1985) is a performance artist/performance maker and writer based in Berlin. Göksu’s interest lies in queer methodologies (especially chronopolitics) and hybrid texts that deal with the performative lingo(s) of contemporary lifestyles. As a non-native English writer, their texts play with multilingualism and syntax. Influenced by Arabesk culture and late modernities, Göksu imagines new situations out of real encounters that point out the problematics of hetero-patriarchal structures.

For this first occasion at Refuge, REIF explores the topic GAY BARS SAVED MY LIFE, a sentence, a statement, a bunch of words, urban haiku, visual poetry embroidered in red cotton on black plain hoodies, a motto by the conceptual artists Eleonora Meoni and Marta Orlando, as a base for a conversation with Eric. D. Clark on the topic.
Eric D. Clark
"Before ‘vinyl only’ became a distinction, before using a Roland 303 bassline ‘incorrectly’ was da s–t!, even before most of today’s clubbers were yet to be born; Eric D. Clark was there in full effect. In parallel to the track From Disco to Disco traveling the world, Eric has pieced together a music legacy from classical to house, with the click of a mouse, soon spanning four decades. You never know what you will get when Eric is at the helm, his sets span multiple genres incorporating his unique live vocal style plus on occasion live keyboards over the tracks.”
