Sarkash سرکش Underground Festival

Sarkash سرکش Underground is a one day music and culture festival taking place for the first time this summer in Berlin as a platform for hip-hop, rap, trap, and experimental sounds from Afghanistan, Balochistan, and Kashmir.

Following our afternoon workshops, the main doors open at 16:30 as the energy builds with an exciting live lineup and DJ performances into the night. The festival embodies a subcultural practice of resistance - an underground reality that otherwise (is forced to) operate in informal spaces.

The name “Sarkash” (Dari: rebellious, disobedient) stands for self-determined expression - independent, defiant, loud, and bold. At a time when music in Afghanistan is severely restricted and many artists live and create in exile or underground, the festival creates a frame where young diaspora music can live on and grow.

Sarkash Underground is a collaboration between Roshā e.V. and Afghan Punk Kollektive.
