The second edition of DICE Forum on August 12th 2020 featured a conversation between DICE team member Sanni Est and artist Anthony Hüseyin. Sanni will also contribute our guest mix, which is currently available under our Mixes playlist. Born in Urfa and raised in Istanbul, Anthony Hüseyin completed his master degree in jazz singing in the Netherlands. In 2012 his debut album ‘Safran’ was launched at Paradiso, followed by an extensive international tour. In late 2017 Anthony's second album, 'The Lucky One’, a melancholic dark electro-pop mixed with tender jazz-pop vocals was released at Paradiso, Amsterdam and won the second prize in the singer-songwriter category in The Netherlands. As a non-binary musician, performer and activist Anthony currently resides in Rotterdam and Berlin. Sanni Est is an artist, curator and trans*feminist speaker based in Berlin and with roots in North-Eastern Brazil. Making use of different media, Sanni weaves raw, autobiographical narratives that range from filmmaking on queer BIPoC subjects from different parts of the world, singing, songwriting, acting, writing and speaking, using her trans* brown body as a performative tool of expression to provoke the viewer and confront them with their colonial perceptions of gender performativity. DICE Forum is a nomadic event series which explores artists’ personal biographies and artistic practices as well as their relationships to larger cultural movements and art forms. Each instalment represents a different artistic perspective, delving into working environments, socio-political influences, creative processes, and more. Each in-depth artist talk is followed by a DJ set, in changing venues throughout Berlin. All talks and DJ mixes will be made available online shortly after each event, to allow everyone to participate regardless of location or current restrictions.
