Dear friends, Thank you again for the previous session. Next Wednesday we continue with "Thomas the Obscure". Last time we were with Thomas who read. We asked what happens in that strange moment of reading. What kind of presence arises there, and where it remains once the reading withdraws. This time we will look briefly at Jacques Lacan’s reading of the text. The reader is no longer simply the one who sees. The words begin to look back. Something in the image acquires a strange life and places the reader inside its field. As before, we read passages together and follow the text slowly. Side fragments will be provided. No prior knowledge required, only patience with the text. Wednesday, 18.03 18:30–20:30 20 € Galerie Linger – Art, Books & Press Boppstraße 2 · Souterrain links \| Kreuzberg Registration: galerielinger@gmail.com https://www.instagram.com/p/DV8U49tjDIr/

### **Inspired by Her: A Watercolour Workshop Celebrating Women Artists** This March, in celebration of International Women’s Day, join us for a special four-week watercolour journey inspired by extraordinary women in art from around the world. Together, we’ll explore the styles, stories, and creative voices of four incredible artists: * **Kenojuak Ashevak** – surreal animals and vibrant imagination * **Alma Thomas** – joyful abstraction and rhythmic colour * **Lyubov Popova** – bold cubist forms and dynamic compositions * **Cecily Brown** – expressive movement and fast, emotional brushwork (*order may vary — Kenojuak Ashevak is featured in our cover image!*) Each week, we’ll dive into one artist’s world—learning about her life and creative approach, observing her work, and translating those inspirations into our own original watercolour paintings. **You’ll experiment with pointillism, cubism, surrealism, and abstraction while discovering playful watercolour techniques like layering, loose strokes, and expressive mark-making.** This is about creative exploration, not copying—step by step, you’ll develop your own unique pieces inspired by these powerful voices. ✨ No previous painting experience needed.

***Okay, call me crazy but you have got to try their chip n dip!*** Club 185 is a true hidden gem in German Village! Seriously, old school, good comfort food and drink. We will try to gather in spaces near the windows. While we'll share Chip n Dip, you'll want to order a sandwich, too. **Where the Chip Began (1817)** Potato chips can be traced back to an English chef, William Kitchiner, who includes ‘crisps’ in his bestselling cookbook, “The Cook’s Oracle.” **Chip and Dip Popularity** The popularity of chip and dip skyrockets at the end of World War II with new entertainment fads and the introduction of Lipton’s new advertising campaign for their famous French Onion Dip. (Club 185 doesn't openly admit it, but I'm pretty sure that's their dip recipe!) **[Club 185](http://club185.com/)**—a true neighborhood bar serving since 1954, when it was known as a local 'speak-easy'. Located in German Village, Club 185 features a menu of quality casual comfort food and full bar. From politicians to lawyers, hardhats to hipsters—all find Club 185 the perfect place to tame their hunger and quench their thirst! **PARKING**: I know, brick street parallel parking can be a pain. Two other choices, metered parking along Livingston heading towards Children's Hospital or across the street in the large church lot (park in spaces farthest away from the church entrance doors, closer to the street). **PRE-EVENT**: **HAPPY HOUR (3-5pm)**: Italian drinks and bites at [Cento's happy hour](https://centogermanvillage.com/menus/), nearby.
