Also known in the vibrant Berlin queer underground by her drag persona, Many Faced Godx, she is as versatile with her sound as she is with her looks, defying genre as well as gender expectations. Dornika's work is heavily influenced by her activism. As a pop act she is using music as her platform to speak on bigger subjects, confronting subjects of body autonomy, racism and bringing awareness to the female led revolution in Iran.
Turkish Delight
Turkish Delight - a real treat.
This drag quing from Cabaret of Shadows is the sweetest temptation you've all been waiting for. Their Drag, inspired by Turkish culture, shows life as a trans* BIPoC in Berlin. Take a bite and let them melt in your mouth. Don't forget to enjoy the INCREDIBLE responsibly, because there are no parties without me.
