Fermenta Collective: Tempeh, from Home to Berlin

Fermenta Collective: Tempeh, from Home to Berlin

Fri, Oct 16, 4:00 PM
From Berlin Fermenta Collective Meetup Group

Fermenta Collective presents
Tempeh, from Home to Berlin For Feydrea & Sam, tempeh is more than a meat substitute. It's a food they grew up with, cooked in many different ways across Southeast Asia, and one that carries stories of home. This month, Fermenta Collective welcomes an Indonesian and Singaporean duo with shared Peranakan roots. In this hands-on workshop, they'll share their memories of tempeh, talk about where it comes from and the many ways it's made and eaten, and show you how to make it here in Berlin. Together we'll look at what happens when a food with a long history meets the ingredients and kitchens we have here, with a few German twists along the way. We'll finish around the table with a simple home-cooked Peranakan dinner featuring tempeh, so we can taste and talk together. Come curious, come hungry, and come ready to make something with your hands. What to bring Materials and utensils are provided on site to share. If you have them, please also bring: For the workshop: 1–2 large bowls (bigger than your palm), a mesh strainer, clean kitchen towels To take your culture home: a 0.25–0.5 L jar (Sturzglas) or a perforated metal container, an insulated bag or thick towels, and a heating pad Optional: 150–250 g of your own beans, if you'd like to work with a particular kind. Please bring them cooked, chilled and, if possible, peeled. Tinned or jarred beans don't work well because of the extra water and additives.

The future feels more present every day—and not always in a good way. This October, we'll visit the Futurium, a free, highly interactive museum exploring the way humans, nature, and technology will shape the future. Maybe it will make us all feel better? At the very least, we'll see a robot. No pre-order needed, we'll get tickets at the venue.

Fermenta Collective: kombucha in the jar

Fermenta Collective: kombucha in the jar

Thu, Oct 29, 5:00 PM
From Berlin Fermenta Collective Meetup Group

Our workshops are immersive, hands-on and a little bit artsy. We don’t just explain fermentation, we explore it through taste, smell, texture, macro photography and close observation. We share what we’ve learned from our own batches, give practical advice, and encourage you to trust your senses and experiment. And of course, you can’t go home empty-handed: you’ll leave with your own 4L jar of kombucha to ferment at home. The SCOBY, starter liquid, and practical tips for keeping it happy are included. As well as vegan snacks and kombucha to drink, of course! You don’t need to bring any equipment, just a roomy bag or backpack for your big jar. Come thirsty for knowledge and ready to ferment!

See & Discuss #01: Cattelan - Neue Nationalgalerie

See & Discuss #01: Cattelan - Neue Nationalgalerie

Sun, Nov 1, 5:00 PM
From Art After Hours

For our first meetup, we’re diving into the world of Maurizio Cattelan at Berlin’s Neue Nationalgalerie. Known for his provocative, often ironic works, Cattelan has a way of making us laugh, feel uncomfortable, question what we’re seeing — and sometimes wonder whether it’s art at all. Have you visited the exhibition? Let’s get together to share our impressions, exchange perspectives, and discuss what we think lies behind the work. We’ll kick things off with a few conversation prompts before settling into a relaxed, open discussion. Afterwards, we’ll continue over drinks and get to know each other. No art expertise required, no right or wrong answers — just curiosity, an open mind, and a willingness to share your thoughts. **Important**: Please visit the exhibition independently before the meetup. You don’t need to prepare anything — just come with your impressions! https://www.smb.museum/en/exhibitions/detail/maurizio-cattelan-night/ Let’s see what happens when we look at the same art through different eyes. ✨

From Berlin Beach Volleyball

Join us for intermediate and advanced **indoor** 2v2 beach volleyball. We play in domes heated to at least 15C. If you are not yet at the intermediate level ([F1+](https://www.esv-muenchen-volleyball.de/niveaueinstufung)) or want to play 3v3/4v4, sign up via [the simultaneous event](https://www.meetup.com/berlin-volley/events/) instead. We play with beach rules: no open hands for the first or last touch, no touching the net, etc. We overbook slightly to ensure we have enough players and to let people take breaks. After playing, you can join us for socials with drinks and snacks at the bar area. We recommend arriving 10 minutes early so you have time to change and find the fields. If it is your first time, 15 minutes might be even better. You can join whatever court you like and move between courts during the event. We self-organize, so after a game, you can start a rematch, switch courts, or take a break as you see fit. Upon arrival, join the warm-up happening on one of the courts. Join our WhatsApp community by asking J for an invite after the event. Follow us on Insta at [https://www.instagram.com/berlinvolleyball](https://www.instagram.com/berlinvolleyball) **Rules**: Do not join if you have an infectious disease. **Venue**: We play at BeachMitte. The venue has changing rooms, toilets, a bar selling drinks and food, and hot-water showers for 1 EUR. There are no lockers. **Payment**: You pay in advance via Meetup. Payment via PayPal or Urban Sports Club is not possible. **Refunds**: The venue does not provide refunds. As a result, we cannot refund you, even if the event is canceled due to bad weather. If you know in advance you can't make it, you can try selling your spot to someone else via WhatsApp or the comment section. You get a full refund if the event gets canceled due to poor attendance. Pictures might be taken and shared publicly, such as on Meetup or Instagram. You can opt out by letting the organizer know you don't want to be photographed. By RSVP'ing to this event, you acknowledge and agree to the following: Participation in this volleyball event is at your own risk.
