Join us for a morning of art, conversation, and good food — followed by a guided visit to one of the most exciting exhibitions in Berlin this summer. We start with brunch together at a cosy spot nearby, where I'll give a short introduction to the exhibition and the fascinating story behind it. Then we walk to the Alte Nationalgalerie together for a curated visit. **About the exhibition:** *Cassirer and the Breakthrough of Impressionism* brings together around 100 masterworks by Monet, Degas, Cézanne and more — told through the story of Paul Cassirer, the most important art dealer of the Impressionist era in Germany. A man who single-handedly changed how Germany saw art. The exhibition runs until 27 September — but summer is the perfect time to see it. 📋 Agenda 🥐 Brunch + short lecture — context, stories, what to look for 🖼 Guided visit to Alte Nationalgalerie together 📅 Date & Time: Saturday, 27.06 · 11:00 📍 Meeting Point: to be announced 24 hours before the event 💶 Participation Fee: 10 EUR 🎟 Museum entry: not included — please book your own ticket 📌 RSVP required — intimate group, spots are limited ✅ Event Info & FAQ 🕐 How long will it last? Approximately 3.5–4 hours in total 💶 Payment — How do I pay? Payment is made on the day, cash or PayPal. If your plans change, please update your status to "Not Going" so someone on the waiting list can take your spot. 🙏 ✨ The event is curated and guided by Yuliya, founder of Berlin Ladies Art Culture — a growing community of over 2,000 women passionate about art, culture, and meaningful connection. With a background bridging hospitality, real estate, and creative studies, Yuliya has lived in Ukraine, France, China, and now Berlin — and most recently completed studies at Sotheby’s Institute of Art in London. She curates experiences that blend art history, conversation, and exploration — always with the goal of making culture feel alive, shared, and inspiring.

Join us for our Celebration with food, fire, and real conversation. A living lab, shared stories, and big questions about Culture and Nature We'd love to invite you to the first of our **Summer Celebrations**, a new rhythm we're adding to KulturNest life, alongside our end-of-year gathering. These gatherings have a simple purpose: to connect, to share what we're each working on, and to think together about what we're building. We believe the wisdom in this community belongs to all of us. **27th June, 12:00 – 16:00 Freienwalder Str. (entrance beside La Pica, Freienwalder Str. 14a, 13055 Berlin)** **Flow:** 12:00 Come as you are. The afternoon opens with food, fire, and unhurried conversation. Simple pleasure of being in the same place at the same time. Bring your appetite and something for the barbecue. 13:30 Step into the Warm Data Lab. An open invitation to a living lab, where information moves between stories. Come curious. No preparation needed, maybe your story is already there? The lab is hosted by a certified host. 14:40 What is, and might be, KulturNest to you? Short, spontaneous sharing. Then a brief look at our projects and funding, with space for questions. 15:10 Think with us. Rotating conversations. One question at the centre: How might we place Nature at the centre of Culture? Come with a thought, a question, or something you haven't quite figured out yet. The World Café method works best when ideas are still a little unfinished. 15:50 A gentle closing. We'll come together to close the afternoon with a warm invitation to find out more about KulturNest membership, for those who feel drawn to go deeper. Ask us any questions! Best **Organiser:** **KulturNest e.V.** **www.kulturnest.org**

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.
