Hola, gente bonita 🫶 Lass uns ein Bier trinken, Spanisch-Deutsch sprechen und eine gute Zeit genießen! Grundlegende (oder bessere 😛) Kenntnisse in Spanisch oder Deutsch sind alles, was du brauchst. Vamos a tomar una cerveza, hablar español-alemán y pasarla bien! Un nivel básico (o mejor 😛) de español o alemán es lo único que necesitas.

أهلاً بكم أعزائي الكُتّاب الهواة. انضموا إلينا في لقائنا القادم في كافيه جذور. نأمل أن يكون الجو جميلاً مشرقاً يسمح لنا بالجلوس خارجاً والاستمتاع بنسمات الهواء العليلة. لا يُضمن شهر نيسان، كما تعلمون، وقد يقرر في يوم لقائنا أن يحجب الشمس عنا وأن يبعث لنا عوضاً عنها نسمات هواء أبرد من المرغوب به وأبرد مما استعددت له هذا الصباح في لباسك. على أية حال، قد تعودنا في الفترة الأخيرة على التقلبات في جميع أشكالها من جوية وسياسية واقتصادية؛ بعض القشعريرة والأمطار الباغتة لن تهزنا. انضموا إلينا ونعدكم بأوقات ممتعة سواءً جلسنا داخل الكافيه أم خارجه. !!!! ننتظركم على الوقت قبل أن نبدأ بنشاطاتنا، لذلك رجاءً تحديث الحضور (RSVP) قبل اللقاء بيوم !!!! أهلاً بكم محبي وممارسي هواية الكتابة باللغة العربية! ندعوكم للانضمام إلينا في لقائنا القادم: سنبدأ بجولة تعارف سريعة، ثم نقوم بأحد تمارين الكتابة الإبداعية الممتعة، وفي النهاية سنفتح المجال لمن يريد مشاركتنا نصاً كتبه أو فكرة لمشروعه، لنناقشها ونتبادل الآراء بموضوعية. بغض النظر عن مستواك الحالي، حتى وإن لم تكتب من قبل - لا تتردد في الانضمام إلينا! الهدف من هذه اللقاءات هو خلق مساحة للكتابة ومشاركة التجربة مع الآخرين، لتنمي هواية وعادة الكتابة. كل ما تحتاجه هو الرغبة وبعض الوقت. (وورقة وقلم أو لابتوب) لا تترددوا في التواصل معي إن كان لديكم أي أسئلة أو اقتراحات نور

I have not been here yet and hope it´s worth a visit. Let´s meet at 10.30 at the main entrance. Afterwards we can get a drink or some food. Don´t waste other peoples precious life time and **be on time please! No-show = 7 years bad luck!** This is their website: https://futurium.de/en/exhibition

**Curatorial Tour – Instinct#20** for **LGBTQIA+** Free event **Group exhibition** During this **curatorial tour**, we will guide you through artworks that engage with conflict as a generative force and explore “Radical Empathy” as an active, transformative practice. Together, we will consider how empathy can be learned, challenged, and reimagined through queer artistic perspectives. The tour will examine how artists create spaces that embrace difference, resist dominant narratives, and invite us to remain open to discomfort, connection, and change. Moving beyond passive understanding, these works propose empathy as a relational encounter—one that has the potential to reshape how we live with and through conflict. **instinct #20** __ viewing 02.–12. April __ **Artists** Matthias Bade Josch Hoenes & Tomka Weiß Heami Lee Paul Harfleet Owa Mesa Dylan Mitro Monika Popiel & Paweł Świerczek Lars Reimers Tejal Shah Andrey Shental __ **Performance** Ahmed El Gendy Dumama __ **Guests (workshops / panel)** Joshua Amissah Antke Engel Jan Großer Lo Höckner Mati Klitgard __ **Film** *Prinz in Hölleland* (1993) von Michael Stock __ **Cooperation** Schwules Museum Berlin Salzgeber Verleih __ **Curatorial Team** Eric LeRouge in collaboration with Neo Seefried & Kristijan Radakovic *\*The exhibition **instinct#20 Radical Empathy** serves as an artistic reflection on two we are village projects, **Conflict and Resilience** and **Queer Connect**. Bringing these earlier initiatives into dialogue, instinct#20 Radical Empathy revisits their ideas, processes, and contexts, transforming them into a new curatorial framework that invites renewed interpretation.* 🔵 Während dieser **kuratorischen Führung** begleiten wir Sie durch Werke, die Konflikt als produktive Kraft begreifen und „Radikale Empathie“ als aktive, transformative Praxis erforschen. Gemeinsam betrachten wir, wie Empathie erlernt, hinterfragt und durch queere künstlerische Perspektiven neu gedacht werden kann. Die Führung untersucht, wie Künstler\*innen Räume schaffen, die Differenz zulassen, dominante Narrative hinterfragen und dazu einladen, offen für Unbehagen, Verbindung und Veränderung zu bleiben. Über ein passives Verständnis hinaus begreifen diese Arbeiten Empathie als relationale Begegnung – eine, die das Potenzial hat, unsere Art, mit Konflikten zu leben und durch sie zu wachsen, grundlegend zu verändern. **instinct #20** __ geöffnet 02.–12.

Ditch the old book club, where everyone has to read the same book...this is better! It works like this: Bring your own book. Come chat, have some tea or coffee, get to know your neighbors. Then we quietly read together, side by side, for about one hour, each one reading their own book, and afterwards we talk with each other about what we are reading. The usual agenda: - Arrival and introduction (~20 minutes) - ⁠Silent reading (~1 hour) - ⁠Discussion (~30-40 minutes) - ⁠Join us for a bite at a local restaurant afterwards, if you like! You may read in any language, you may read any book. We are a group of international residents of Berlin from many different countries, of all ages, and we converse in English. We welcome you! No registration needed – the event is donation based. All funds support the Offenes Wohnzimmer.

We meet and sketch each other in Berlin. This is just an art gym that we also exercise our social skills. Afterwards usually we go for lunch as a group. **How Does It Work?** This event is simple, we meet and sketch each other doing portraits. Most of the participants use pencils or watercolors. Main aim is to socialize while we draw. There will be plenty of time to talk and get to know each other. We have to mention that this event is suitable for all levels. Many have started to draw in our event actually. **Structure** A. Warmup Phase: We pose to each other for 1 minute. B. Main Phase: We pose to each other for 10 minutes. C. Showcase Phase: We show some of the drawings we did to each other. **Who We Are** Creative Sessions is an art events group located in Berlin. **Is it Free?** The event is free of charge. It is advisable to get a drink though. This is a cafe, we need to have at least half of the people on each table with a drink.

Inspired by our successful events like "Saturday Mornings @ East Market" and other "Pot Luck in the Park" lunches, this gathering promises to be a blend of fun conversations, language exchange, and cultural insights, all while sharing wonderful foods with each other. Please bring a dish to share and anything you would like to drink. We will provide plates, plastic silverware and napkins. So, come hungry and ready to chat!

We have reserved a room in the Dublin Library from 1-2:30 PM for the meal, if necessary. \* But if the weather is nice on April 12th, we are planning to meet in Bridge Park, possibly in the covered shelter area at 12:00 Noon. We will update the details closer to the date of the Pot Luck but wanted to get this out to everyone so that you can make plans for that day.
