Poliana Baumgarten is a video journalist and director who has been part of the video team at ZEIT ONLINE since 2020, responsible for reports and documentaries about marginalised people and topics - always attempting to disrupt and challenge stereotypical images. In 2019, she was selected by ‚Medium Magazin‘ as one of the top 30 under 30 in journalism.

In her most recent documentary she highlights the story of Otis, a Black German boy and his mother Sarah. In school one of Otis classmates tells him to “go back to his country“, outside of school news of a meeting of the far-right come to light who are planning “mass deporatations“ of everyone they don’t consider German. Huge anti-AFD protests erupt across the country but is that enough?

The documentary centers Otis and Sarah fears and concerns, depicting what it’s like to be a young Black boy in Germany right now and raises questions about our future in this country.

James Baldwin (1924-1987) was a brilliant writer and activist who challenged racism and oppression in America and beyond. His essays, novels, and plays are masterpieces of literature that speak to the human condition and the quest for justice.

One of his most influential works is “The Fire Next Time”, a collection of two essays that address the role of race in history and society, and the urgent need for change.

The quote from the book is an inspiration to imagine and demand the impossible, and to never settle for less than freedom and dignity.

We worked with and , two QTIPOC athletes who shared their stories of creating safe spaces in sports.

They demonstrated how they challenge assumptions and labels, and how they encourage others to accept their identities and love without limits🤍

They also expressed their hopes and goals for the future of sports, where everyone can be recognised and appreciated. We learnt from their insight and passion, and we hope you did too!

Our second print issue DREAMS is an award-winning* 2-in1 issue that asked our contributors to explore the realms of dreams and reality and to reflect on their place within society.

Combining writing, poetry, photography and design, DREAMS is a 130-page collective project that aims to be inspiring, thought-provoking, and consoling.

A big thank you goes out to our guest editor Thị Minh Huyền Nguyễn , our guest designer Seine Kongurangkit , our art director Elise Chastel , editor in chief Kemi Fatoba and everyone else who was part of realising this beautiful project!

Here are some of the highlights from our Brave Futures Film Race, a collaboration with OTV that celebrated the city’s creative talent and intersectional stories in Berlin’s Kino Moviemento

In February 2020 a total of six teams created films in only 48 hours, exploring topics from transphobia on public transportation to Afrofuturism and community care.

We came together at the screenings to laugh, cry, and celebrate the talent of our hometown filmmakers.

In May last year we co-hosted “Visual Storytelling in BIPOC Communities” with the Lovie Awards at Soho House Berlin.

We learned so much from our guest speakers, Mona Okulla Obua .okulla.obua and Emmanuel Amoako Jansen , who are both Black filmmakers and storytellers.

They talked about their challenges, inspirations, and aspirations as BIPOC creatives in a white-dominated industry and encouraged us to collaborate with each other and pursue our dreams.
