To them, partying is political, because our queer bodies, music and lifestyles are political.

Set in the seasons leading up to 2020, this story takes place in a public community garden in Bonn, Germany, in a small lot surrounded by low-rise apartment buildings, in a quiet part of town not far from the Rhine. There was once a playground on this site, but it fell into disrepair and disuse. Increasingly overgrown with plant life – and thus shielded from street view – the abandoned playground was subsequently used primarily by people consuming drugs and alcohol.

In the early 1970s, the emerging narcotic cultures of West-Berlin not only drew the attention of the public and the media, but came into the focus of academics and public health institutions, First studies and surveys were conducted with one paper standing out in particular. It was entitled “Drug Consumers Underground” [Drogenkonsumenten im Underground] and authored by a collective of young social workers, drug users and educators, some of them with aliases. While remaining unpublished for quite a while, it eventually found its way into the archive of the Federal Centre for Health Education (Bundeszentrale für gesundheitliche Aufklärung). Consisting of more the 160 pages, and including drawings, cartoons, and press clippings, it marks the first ever in-depth description of these new public drug scenes of West-Berlin.
