Cute Community Take Over by Xkepticwrld
2026-03-25 18:30 - 2026-03-26 22:00
Xkeptic World Takeover explores H.E.I . Human Emotional Intelligence, a concept that understands emotion as a shared infrastructure rather than a private experience. Through masks, ritual symbols, and speculative characters, the exhibition reframes masking not as concealment but as a transformative technology long practiced within African ritual traditions. These works invite viewers to participate in an emotional field where empathy allows movement between multiple perspectives and bodies, forming temporary communities of shared feeling.
The takeover also expands into sound and nightlife through a collaboration with Cute Community Radio, hosting a masked party and club set that transforms the dance floor into a ritual space. Participants are invited to wear masks, engaging directly with the exhibition’s exploration of masking as both performance and transformation. Within this collective environment of music, movement, and anonymity, the mask becomes a tool for shifting identity, dissolving social boundaries, and activating the shared emotional intelligence that lies between bodies.
In contrast to contemporary obsessions with artificial intelligence, this project proposes a return to a deeper human system.
One rooted in emotion, ritual, and collective experience as tools for reimagining how we exist together.

FIRAT ÇAKIR presents NIDA
NIDA explores the intersection of Orientalism, industrialization, and the human body.
The collection combines structured, sculptural silhouettes with fluid forms, creating garments that move between fashion and object. Traditional influences meet raw, industrial aesthetics, forming a dialogue between past and present.
Elements of human anatomy are repeatedly integrated into the designs, shaping silhouettes that blur the boundaries between body, structure, and garment.
Through the fusion of cultural references and material experimentation, NIDA reflects both personal identity and broader social and philosophical narratives.

Cute Community Talk with Dari Hati
2026-05-14 19:00 - 20:00
Dari Hati – translated from Indonesian as “from the heart” – is a DJ and music collective based in Hamburg. The collective brings together global sounds, urban genres, and creative collaboration to create musical spaces that connect and inspire people. Each performance is an expression of cultural diversity, passion, and a spirit of experimentation.

The Dari Hati Collective was founded in March 2025 by NEAF (33) and WARNO (30). As a young collective still in its early stages, the group is driven by the goal of bringing music, creative collaboration, and cultural exchange to the stage.

NEAF and WARNO grew up together in Hamburg and share a close, brother-like bond that gives the collective a unique depth. Both have Indonesian migration backgrounds and were exposed to diverse cultural influences from an early age, shaping their artistic identities. Music has always been a constant in their lives – from traditional Indonesian sounds to global urban genres. Hip-hop, in particular, has had a lasting influence and remains a central part of their artistic work.

Dari Hati stands for openness, cultural diversity, and artistic authenticity. Music and art are treated with respect and appreciation. The collective creates spaces where people, genres, and cultures meet and form new connections.

8.00 PM | NEAF
Neaf isn’t a rebrand. It’s a reset. After many years, countless aliases and even more sets, he stripped it back to what actually matters: identity. Born and raised in Hamburg, Germany with Indonesian roots, his sound moves between Hip-Hop, R&B, Afrobeats, Baile Funk and EDM. Somewhere between global club energy and sharp edits, with zero interest in staying in one lane.

In 2025, he co-founded the collective Dari Hati alongside Warno. An ongoing journey shaped by growth, community and a shared drive to push things forward. He also produces his own music, including the lo-fi hip hop album The Ugly Swimsuit (2019, under the name VACT) and a steady stream of remixes and edits.

Off the decks, he’s a graphic designer & art director and the Musical Director of the Angklung Hamburg Orchestra.
