Capturing the Colors: Carnival of Cultures Finale & Collaborative Documentary
The Carnival of Cultures (Karneval der Kulturen) is Berlin at its absolute best—vibrant, diverse, and filled with kinetic energy.
As the festival reaches its main day on Sunday, May 25th, The ISO Club is heading to Friedrichshain to capture the ultimate finale of this incredible celebration.
We are meeting at 13:30 PM at Frankfurter Allee (a concrete meeting location will be provided soon) to document the music, the street styles, the crowds, and the closing energy of the 30th anniversary of the carnival. Whether you are a street photographer, a portrait enthusiast, or a videographer making reels, this is the perfect canvas to push your creativity.
**🎥 The Collaborative Documentary Project:**
After the event, we are producing a massive collective photo/video recap to showcase the event through the diverse lenses of our community. By joining this meetup, you agree to contribute a selection of your best shots and video clips. We will compile them into a definitive community documentary on our main channels.
**📅 Itinerary:**
* **13:30 PM:** Meetup at the entrance to [Coffee Karros](https://maps.app.goo.gl/qQWGsYZG6yDjiKpj9). Briefing and splitting into smaller shooting groups.
* **13:45 PM – 6:00 PM:** Street exploration, portrait hunting, and video capture around the festival grounds.
* **6:00 PM onwards:** Optional casual wrap-up drinks nearby to swap notes, talk gear, and chill.
**❗ Guidelines & Socials:**
* **What to bring:** Your camera setup (or smartphone with good video capabilities), comfortable walking shoes, and plenty of storage/battery power!
* **Asset Sharing:** Upload your favorite final selects to our community folders ([Discord](https://discord.gg/RAteAwHmMa)/[WhatsApp](https://chat.whatsapp.com/Fc3lVrqUJLuHeZoQfqhnVx?mode=gi_t)).

Portrait Drawing on Sunday Afternoon
This group is for everyone who is interested in drawing portraits!
For me, drawing has been a wonderful way to gain a new perspective on the world and the people within it.
Whether you are just starting out or have been drawing for ages — all levels are welcome :)
How it works:
1\. We meet at The Castle pub in Mitte and do short sittings of 15 minutes for each other\. The first sitting is divided into 3 warm\-up sketches\, 5 minutes each\.
2\. Before we start\, everybody writes their name on a blank card \(provided by the organizer\); these cards are then used to randomly pick the model every 15 minutes\.
3\. Usually we do 8 sittings\, with a 15\-minute break in the middle \(so after 4 sittings\, or 1 hour\)\.
-> The participation is free, but it is expected that everybody orders something from the bar to support the lovely location.
Get out your pencils and let's start!
Please bring your own art supplies!

The Art of Dialogue: In her mixed-media compositions on wood, Mi.M allows the material itself to take the lead—letting the paper "paint." Fragments of her own paintings and drypoint etchings merge with historical finds, such as vintage airmail and newspapers, to create multi-layered narratives.

* Expert Knowledge: Collage techniques and material science drawn from two decades of experience.
* Parisian Flair: The elegance and expressive freedom of the French school of art.
* Creative Stillness: A focus on structure and haptics as a path to inner calm.
"My goal is to use the medium of paper and texture to create moments of silence and pure, creative freedom."
**Expertise & Background**
* Academic Roots: 8 years in Paris \| Study Université des Beaux\-Arts
* Professional Experience: Over 20 years of artistic practice and creative education.
* Qualification: Certified Arts and Creativity Therapist (IEK).
* Experience: Long-standing practice in leading workshops for children and adults.
