Photography

**If the event is fully booked, feel free to join us at the meeting point.** A participatory urban walk exploring memory, monuments, architecture, and hidden narratives in public space through observation, storytelling, and photography. We will move slowly along Karl-Marx-Allee, treating the city as a layered archive of perception. Through guided observation exercises and short reflective prompts, participants are invited to explore how urban space is read through personal experience, collective memory, and everyday traces. This is not a tour, but a collective reading of the city. No prior experience required. **Materials:** smartphone, paper, pen, optional audio recording **Participation:** Participation by voluntary contribution (5–15 € suggested) **Meeting point:** Karl-Marx-Büste (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strausberger_Platz#Karl-Marx-B%C3%BCste), Berlin ([Strausberger Pl. 12, 10243 Berlin](https://maps.google.com/maps?vet=10CAAQoqAOahcKEwi4l8-__c-UAxUAAAAAHQAAAAAQJg..i&sca_esv=080e5c4976d32afe&pvq=OhUweDA6MHgzOWMxOWFkN2Y5ZDg2ZTY&fvr=1&cs=0&um=1&ie=UTF-8&fb=1&gl=de&sa=X&ftid=0x47a84e3e065a95dd:0x39c19ad7f9d86e6)) **Collective Archive (optional contribution):** Participants are invited to contribute to a shared archive of the walk: Upload here: https://padlet.com/denkmallab/Building_Stories_Memory_Walk_Contributions Contributions are voluntary and may include photos, notes, or audio fragments from the walk and are part of a collective open research experiment

We are starting a new live event: **Show & Tell**. Every great journey begins with a first story. Join award-winning filmmaker [Adolf El Assal](https://www.imdb.com/de/name/nm2151187/) for an evening that traces the beginning of his filmmaking career — the risks, the setbacks, and the moments that changed everything. We'll screen two of his short films, *Mano de Dios* and *The Notorious Road…*, followed by a live Q&A where you can ask him anything about filmmaking, storytelling, or building a career in the industry. Whether you're an aspiring filmmaker, a film lover, or just looking for some inspiration, this is an evening about perseverance, creativity, and believing in your voice. ℹ️ This event will be photographed and filmed by us. By attending, you agree that you may appear in photo or video material used for our content and communication. Curious what we do?

The money we collect is used solely for the purpose of the community. Of course you can come once without contributing to check us out!*

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. They accept only cash and most hot drinks cost from 2.50 to 3.50. **How to help or donate?** The event is provided for free but many people help this be a regular thing. We also need people to volunteer and help for minor tasks like the serving of the drinks or cleaning up. Just send us a message. If you want to donate and keep this event from happening, via Paypal to the host (Miltos) : https://ko-fi.com/miltosthings/ **Art Materials?** Bring your own art materials. **Our Instagram Profile** Follow us on instagram @icreativesessions Use the hashtag #icreativesessions on your post description there to find out drawings from the event!

Hello Film friends! It's summer in Berlin and that means it's time for the annual Berlin Film Community BBQ. We love to BBQ, Alex specifically, and are looking forward to seeing your happy, hungry faces at Mauerpark on July 5th. We will be in the grilling area and should be relatively easy to find. While we will provide some meat, veg, and drinks for everyone, we can't bring enough for everyone, so please bring some food and drink for yourself. This is also of course weather dependent, if it looks like the weather will not cooperate, we will reschedule. Please sign up at this link so we can let you know if we need to cancel. https://www.eventbrite.de/e/7th-annual-berlin-film-community-bbq-tickets-1991464322397 We're looking forward to seeing you all at the BBQ and will keep our fingers crossed for good weather!

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!

Painting summer in an Impressionist style—can you do it? With this workshop: Absolutely! In this workshop, we'll delve into the world of Impressionism. Based on a landscape photograph, we'll create an Impressionist painting on canvas, dot by dot. You'll receive step-by-step instructions, from choosing colours to creating form and volume. This technique is perfect for beginners, but also offers exciting discoveries and nuanced details for more advanced painters. This course focuses on capturing colors as an impression. A relaxing and creative morning awaits you, where you'll explore a new painting technique! **All materials, including canvases and refreshments, are included.** **[Tickets:](https://rausgegangen.de/events/impressionismus-acrylmalerei-fur-anfangerinnen-2/)**[ https://rausgegangen.de/events/impressionismus-acrylmalerei-fur-anfangerinnen-2/](https://rausgegangen.de/events/impressionismus-acrylmalerei-fur-anfangerinnen-2/)

1 EURO DONATION FEE PER PERSON IS REQUIRED (on site, in cash), to pay back the Meetup subscription fees and support my Events. READ THE DESCRIPTION WITH THE INFO (IMPORTANT). We take a walk in Berlin to meet new people or people we already know 😁 It's a way to spend a few hours together on a Sunday afternoon. **How it works?** The concept is very simple: * We meet at Alexanderplatz Station at 14,00 o'clock (we use the Whatsapp Chat to find each other: I will post there my exact location in the station) * I wait for people for 10 minutes, till 14,10, then we start to walk direction West, crossing Museum Island and Mitte 🏛️🏘️ * We reach Tiergarten and we will cross the entire park, seeing some of its interesting points🌲🌳☘️ * We finally reach Café am Neuen See: https://maps.app.goo.gl/kSui84icxyU6hQG56 to sit down together to take something to drink or eat 🥐☕🍪 * The total length of the walk is about 8kms I consider that the event will last in overall around 4 hours (2 hours of walk and 2 hours at Café am Neuen See), but people are free to stay together longer, if they want 🙂 What I provide is leading the walk and the people at Café am Neuen See, but I do not force anyone to stay shorter or longer. I do not provide a "personal support" for people who arrive after 14,10 (do not write to me expecting "private support"). You are responsible to check for the weather and decide if come or not. Thanks for understanding. If you have to contact me, make it via Whatsapp, not here on Meetup. WHATSAPP GROUP 💬 to find each other (join it, we use this group to find and synchronize us) [https://docs.google.com/document/d/157uLVXObKt1a4NqqvPa09NJW-050YBwHLW-7DbOD8R8/](https://docs.google.com/document/d/157uLVXObKt1a4NqqvPa09NJW-050YBwHLW-7DbOD8R8/)

These meetings will be a building block approach to learning photographic mastery over three disciplines: Completely Mechanical (CM) - A 13-week series Completely Exposed (CE) - A 26-week series Completely Composed (CC) - A 52-week series All three series will run concurrently and will dovetail as follows: Q3/26 - CM (Iter 1), CE (Iter 1, Pt 1), CC (Iter 1, Pt1) Q4/26 - CM (Iter 2), CE (Iter 1, Pt 2), CC (Iter 1, Pt2) Q1/27 - CM (Iter 3), CE (Iter 2, Pt 1), CC (Iter 1, Pt3) Q2/27 - CM (Iter 4), CE (Iter 2, Pt 2), CC (Iter 1, Pt4) That's likely confusing, but essentially, CM offered 4 times in that period, CE offered 2 times, and CC offered 1 time. **TO BE CLEAR - THERE IS NO CHARGE FOR THESE CLASSES.** This is an aggressive series, with presentations, homework, group shoots to be added in, likely at LEAST twice a month, image critiques, and an expectation that you are willing to put in the work to elevate your photography significantly. Open to all levels and all equipment levels. Don't let hesitation about your skillset and/or gear keep you from a one-time opportunity. The group will meet every Tuesday, with periodic exceptions, and we will try to keep as close as possible to the original plan. Obviously, more data is coming and will be published as this is further developed, but now is the time to decide if you want to be a part of this.

**Don’t miss your opportunity to learn from a duo with over 16 years of experience combined. During this demonstration event, you can expect to learn how to direct and guide your creative vision through lighting and communication to your model. We guarantee you will leave this event feeling more confident to try new lighting set ups to match up with your anticipated outcome. Finding the right way to express your vision is key to getting your model to pose accordingly, so we got you there too! To take this even further, think about signing up for a tutorial spot following the demonstration.** ***Note: this is a demonstration event only, you will not shoot your own images. However, if you bring your camera we can test it for compatibility with the studio lights.*** **Following the demonstration will be a tutorial/coaching event - sign up separately if you are interested at** https://calendar.app.google/ZcHb4CQB2rrV3U7j9 **Save and book both for $199 (discounted from $215; the discount will be applied on the Tutorial invoice).**

Opportunity to gather post-meeting, tell stories (mostly lies), ask questions about burning photography/post-production issues, and ponder the future of our country and planet. Oh, and food... Location and time to be determined based on the specifics of the shoot immediately preceding this event.
