QUEERHEL x DRIFT KYIV

Ukraine-born, Berlin-based DRIFT Kyiv teams up with the Helsinki-based QueerHEL to deliver a transcultural and powerful collaboration at Ääniwalli, headlined by none other than METARAPH. DRIFT Kyiv is a community platform and event born in Kyiv in 2021. Rooted in the spirit of resistance and sonic exploration, it features curated lineups that always highlight diverse, up-and-coming talents. This event also marks the debut of the emerging queer collective QueerHEL at Ääniwalli. It promises to be a high-intensity, immersive club experience with DRIFT Kyiv residents OLHA, Social Vlad, QueerHEL co-founder Huijari B2B Katvyl, and an extended set by METARAPH, resident of the infamous Gegen and We Are Not Alone. We invite you to a space of raw expression, freedom, fun, and an intimate atmosphere that resonates with the true underground culture from Ukraine to Berlin and now to Helsinki. There will be a special photo area, so come prepared – your cutest looks are welcome! As we are privileged to dance and grow together in times of war, we will be raising donations for the iconic Kyiv club K41 Community Fund.
