We warmly invite you to the vernissage of the new Open Space “Time Machine Infinitum – Queer migrant Berlin” at BERLIN GLOBAL.
The Open Space by Noam Gorbat, Omar Nicolas and Sama Ahmadi embarks on a journey through time, exploring queer migrant Berlin. The multimedia installation moves through the past, present and future to highlight and honor the presence and cultural heritage of queer migrants and BIPoC in the city.
Join us for the opening of the exhibition and its accompanying programme, featuring remarks by the Open Space artists and an irresistable DJ set by sherryaeri. We look forward to celebrating with you!
Awareness notice: The awareness team from Compassion Crew will be present throughout the event and available for support.

Participants
Noam Gorbat is a video artist and filmmaker based in Berlin, working at the intersection of performance art and documentary film. Their practice brings together intersectional perspectives and feminist narrative forms. The short film “Underscore*” received an award at BIFF in 2024. Noam has worked, among others, with Florentina Holzinger, Gob Squad, Ian Kaler, B A G collective, Jasmin İhraç and Roni Katz.
Omar Nicolas is an artist, curator, designer and music producer based in Berlin. Their multimedia practice combines artistic research with pop culture and socially critical questions. Omar co‑founded Fehras Publishing Practices. Their work has been shown at, among other venues, documenta 15, HKW Berlin, the Sharjah Biennial and EMST Athens. Since 2019, Omar has been developing the music project “OMAR KTD”.
Sama Ahmadi is a cultural worker and spatial strategist based in Berlin. Born in Tehran, their artistic practice is shaped by experiences of displacement and political violence. After studying fine art at Université Paris 8 with a focus on memory and trauma, Sama works scenographically with light, colour and space. Their practice is rooted in self‑organised contexts and is committed to transnational solidarity and collaborative structures.
Music and partying are deeply political for sherryaeri, who strives to spotlight artists and genres that deserve far more recognition than they typically receive—blending them with Arabic sounds. Identifying as genrefluid, sherryaeri guides us through a rich tapestry of styles, including (but not limited to) Rap Edits, Jersey Club, Baile Funk, and Electro Chaabi.
Through this eclectic mix, sherryaeri creates a sense of belonging and celebrates our multidimensional realities. Their sets have already captivated international audiences—from festivals like Splash in Germany, to clubs such as Yu Yu in Mexico City, and prestigious platforms like Boiler Room.
One thing is certain: sherryaeri’s sound is made for booty-shaking, stress release, and letting go of the pressures imposed by capitalist, patriarchal, white dominance.
