About
Located in the beating heart of Kreuzberg on Oranienstraße, SO36 Salon Galerie is an essential stop on any gay map of Berlin. While the neighboring SO36 club is world-renowned for its punk history and legendary queer parties like Gayhane, the Salon Galerie (Salon36) provides an intimate, creative sanctuary for the community's artistic soul. This versatile gallery and event space serves as a beacon for the underground scene, showcasing a rotation of provocative art exhibitions, workshops, and performances. It is a space where gay men, lesbians, and the broader LGBTQ+ community can explore contemporary works that challenge the status quo. Whether you are a curious local or a tourist-friendly traveler looking for the 'real' Berlin, the Salon captures the raw, inclusive energy that makes this city unique. Beyond the canvases, the venue’s deep connection to the main club means you’re never far from the radical spirit and dancing that defined West Berlin's anarchist past. If you’re searching for an authentic, queer-friendly gallery that values community over commercialism, SO36 Salon Galerie is your destination. It’s not just a venue; it’s a living piece of Berlin’s queer history.
