Durchlüften DJ Set

Porträt der eritreischen DJ TIMNIT

On four summer weekends, DURCHLÜFTEN transforms the Humboldt Forum’s  Schlüterhof  into a free open-air meeting place where musical traditions from across the globe unfold as living cultural archives.  

5 years open. Already 5 years DURCHLÜFTEN. For the sixth time now, DURCHLÜFTEN transforms the Schlüterhof courtyard of Berlin’s Humboldt Forum into a vibrant open-air stage for global music, cultural dialogue, and shared experience. From 9 July to 1 August 2026, across four summer weekends, the festival presents 24 live acts and 12 DJs from around the world. Each evening features two concerts followed by a DJ set, creating twelve nights of musical discovery, movement, and encounter in the heart of Berlin — once again with free entry for all.  

Tmnit Ghide is Eritrean, born and raised in Southern Germany. As a DJ, music curator and cultural worker, she operates at the intersection of art, music and community.

She is the founder of multiple platforms and initiatives, among them Edition Dimtsi (Springstoff), her radio show DiaspoRa.dio on res.radio, the cultural event series bun&beats, which highlights Eritrean culture, and Salon Dimtsi, a platform centered on collective listening.

Her artistic practice engages with socio-political questions, approaching sound as an archive through which collective and individual experiences are made audible. In 2025, she was awarded the Kültüregemma Fellowship in Vienna, within the framework of which she is developing the Black Music Archive (Vienna). Her work engages with questions of collective memory and cultural heritage, exploring how Black musical histories are preserved, contextualized and made visible. During her residency at Villa Kamogawa in Kyoto (January–April 2026), she explored listening practices across cultural contexts.
