Founded in 2017 by the musicians, writers and activists Sandra and Kerstin Grether, Ich brauche eine Genie – Popkultur, Feminismus, Spaß und so (»I Need a Genius – Pop Culture, Feminism, Fun and Such«) is a series of events strengthening the presence of female, queer and trans musicians and drawing attention to their diverse skills. With readings and workshop performances led by the humorous hosts, female (up-and-coming) artists in Berlin get to take the stage in an appropriate, appreciative and discursively accompanied setting. In 2022, the series invited artists such as Nichtseattle, Finna and Julia Friese to the beer garden of Festsaal Kreuzberg and the silent green Kulturquartier.
