His debut EP “Fokus” (2025) blends pop, R&B, soul, gospel, and jazz with German-language lyrics, placing the Black, queer artist at the center of his own story. Deeply inspired by the late Black artist and activist May Ayim, FAYIM sings not only to process his experiences but also to empower. ### OMAR KTD OMAR KTD is a Berlin-based Syrian singer, songwriter, and producer working within Arabic avant-pop, queer pop and alternative pop. The music blends electronic textures, lamentation-inspired vocals, and soft glitch aesthetics to create an emotionally direct sound infused with Arabic queer sensibility, challenging dominant narratives of masculinity while celebrating fluid identities. OMAR KTD released the debut album “Hidden Questions” in 2025. ### SXCL SXCL is a versatile musician from Réunion Island. As a producer and DJ since 2017, their style has morphed with time to fit their eclectic taste. Going from house to progressive trance, to electro and more recently to old-school techno, their versatility has brought them to venues in Berlin and far beyond. Sensitive to the intricate textures of electronic music, SXCL crafts their sets with meticulous care, prioritizing the audience’s journey above all else. ## Media partner ![](https://cdn.berlin.museum/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/siegessaeule-300x105.png) ## Info & Service ## Opening Hours Mon + Wed – Sun | 10.30 am – 6.30 pm Tue | closed Last admission is at 5.30 pm ## Directions Schlossplatz 10178 Berlin [ Google Maps ](https://g.page/humboldtforum?share) [ Bus & Train ](https://www.bvg.de/en/connections/connection-search) ## Contact For ticketing and service requests, please contact the Humboldt Forum [Visitor Services](https://www.humboldtforum.org/en/contact-us/): +49 30 9921 189 89 Mo – Fri, 10 a.m.– 6 p.m. ## Dates [ ![Collage aus drei Porträt-Fotos von Künstler:innen eingerahmt in einen neonfarbenen Kreis](https://cdn.berlin.museum/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/6ab0429c-28f4-4426-9927-fdf951f7ae47-300x225.png) Berlin Exhibition Music #### Queer Pop at BERLIN GLOBAL *2026-12-11 19:30:00*What defines Queer Pop?
