MSG & Friends is a Berlin-based, queer-led, independently organized collective that seeks to empower artists of Asian heritage. Our initiative was to empower our local artists of Asian-heritage by providing event spaces and performance opportunities where a greater degree of safety and understanding for BiPoC could be experienced. As MSG & Friends continued, we were lucky and privileged to have been afforded the chance to expand our reach across international borders. We organize events that not only encourage the development of community within the Asian diaspora, but also workshops on political and social awareness. We believe that the arts have an untapped potential to stimulate progressive, inclusive discourse on the intersections of culture, art, and race. Through independent organization, allyship, and collaboration, MSG & Friends is proud to be part of the burgeoning Asian-diasporic political movement across Europe and provide support to underrepresented artists of Asian heritage.
