“MUSIC IS THE ANSWER” – The Answer in Music
On July 8, 2023, the Rave The Planet Parade took place, a political demonstration that aimed to fight for peace and the preservation of electronic music and club culture, as well as the recognition of its cultural and social achievements. Under the slogan “MUSIC IS THE ANSWER”, the aim was to reflect on what is the real question we should ask ourselves.
The name “Rave The Planet” reflects its mission and vision, which was born in the context of the first Love Parade in 1989. The idea was that if repeated year after year, it would inspire others to organise their own marches. At some point, techno marches would take place all over the world on the same day, and by dancing together, people would realise that they are part of the same family, the family of human beings on this planet. Then, world peace would automatically emerge.
Sustainability and non-profit
Together with its partners, Rave The Planet has implemented a climate-friendly parade. All collaborations follow the principle of providing maximum benefit to the culture and those who create it.
Sunday was “Clean Up Day”. At Rave the Planet they want to leave no trace. Their great equipment, with the support of many volunteers and a clean-up initiative of the city of Berlin (BSR), removed all the trash from Tiergarten Park. Quite an example to follow.
Cleanups were standard procedure in the days of Berlin’s Love Parade, but they were done without public notice. Now they are doing it cheerfully, loudly, publicly and all together. Join their ECO TEAM!
Berlin’s techno culture as UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage
Rave the Planet is fighting for the inclusion of Berlin’s techno culture on UNESCO’s Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH) list is being backed by a wide number of supporters.
In the video “Techno Culture in Berlin // Film on the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage Application” available on YouTube, leading Berlin cultural creators and artists such as Ellen Allien, Dimitri Hegemann, Alan Oldham, Alexander Krüger, Hans Cousto, among others, explain what Berlin’s techno culture consists of and why it needs to be protected.
What is Intangible Cultural Heritage?
Culture refers to values, traditions and diverse identities. Heritage is something that is passed down from generation to generation. Immaterial means that it is not physical, but rather spiritual or intellectual.
In short, Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH) refers to living traditions and expressions, such as community gatherings, music, beliefs, cultural practices and crafts. For example, Amsterdam’s Gay Pride parade, Jamaica’s reggae and Zurich’s techno culture are already considered cultural heritage or living cultural practices.
At Rave The Planet, they are convinced that Berlin’s techno culture also meets all the requirements to be recognised as Intangible Cultural Heritage.
