As UltraMaroon launches into summer programming, we begin with our third annual Pride event. This year, Someone From Berlin welcomes very special guests from the West Coast, Bears in Space. As a continuation of connecting queer space creators near and far, Bears in Space shares many similar values as UltraMaroon, served with their own particular panache. Composed of Chris Bowen and Victor Rodriguez, this duo has been keeping it queer, weird, and underground in California for more than fifteen years as well as making the festival rounds together at Love International, Somos, Desertopia, and Camp Caftan.

For the fifth regular season finale of UltraMaroon this month, the theme of this episode is connecting UltraMaroon to the Amsterdam underground. As Someone From Berlin says, UM does not produce an underground event; however, it is informed by what is happening in underground scenes globally, and then does its own thing. With this in mind, we are proud to present a collaboration with Kraft und Licht, as part of their creative team, Subduction and VentroMedial, represents a taste of how their production crew creates audio-visual experiences together.
