Trouble in Paradise #7 w/ Teplice & Floral Notes

This episode presents the community collective Soli Cooking, which provides hot meals once a week for anyone who wants or needs them, free of charge. Shopped, prepared and distributed around S Bahn Hermannstrasse in Neukölln, Soli’s food embodies the idea of solidarity in opposition to gentrification, inequality, social cleansing and an increasingly hostile police presence. In addition to exploring some of these issues around poverty, homelessness and addiction, we present a polyvocal sound collage, foregrounding various peoples’ experiences of participating in the Soli collective alongside local field recordings and snippets of electronic music. If you would like to get involved with Soli, feel free to get in touch with us! The articles listed below were used to research this episode.
