Context Driven Testing

An opening of an art exhibition is a nice occasion to catch up and hang out. No agenda, just art, wine and chat. *** KIT Berlin ([@kitstudioartspace](https://www.instagram.com/kitstudioartspace)) invites you to an exhibition of paintings by Wiola Stankiewicz [@wiola_stankiewicz](https://www.instagram.com/wiola_stankiewicz/) “Now it Makes Sense, Isn’t It?” and a musical performance by Antonio Bastos [@antonio__bastos](https://www.instagram.com/antonio__bastos/) Now It Makes Sense, Isn’t It? continues the “Emotional Algorithm” project — a series of paintings built from intuitively selected screenshots, private photographs, and images found online. The images are combined like an emotional bajaderka (a Polish layered dessert traditionally made from mixed leftovers, fragments, and combined remains) — sometimes through color, contrast, or an unexplainable feeling that they simply belong together. The works explore screen aesthetics and digital ways of perceiving images. Meaning often appears only later. And sometimes not at all. Wiola Stankiewicz is a visual artist born in Elbląg, Poland, currently living and working in Coimbra, Portugal. Her practice focuses on painting, collage, and assemblage, using mixed media techniques and experimental material processes. Working with icons of popular culture, landscapes, found images, and photographs from her personal archive, Stankiewicz builds a coherent and autonomous visual language based on intuition and process. Her works function as images of an open character, in which meaning emerges from the relationships between image, material, and gesture. Antonio Bastos turns vulnerability into stage, community into sound and instinct into creation. From electronics to tradition, from improvised lyrics to shared movement, his music is born live and unfolds into a visual, emotional experience. With dozens of releases and festival shows, he was awarded People’s Choice at the IPMA (USA), blending performance with community creation — involving choirs, schools and local groups of all ages. Each concert is a seed sown in the territory, where the audience also becomes creator.

**(Event in German) Bitte beachtet, dass wir auf verschiedenen Wegen einladen, es werden also mehr Menschen teilnehmen, als ihr hier seht.** Egal wie alt wir sind – Alter beschäftigt uns: Wir denken selbst darüber nach, oder werden ständig daran erinnert. Fühlen wir uns älter oder jünger, als wir sind? Vermissen wir es, 16 zu sein oder freuen wir uns, immer reifer und sicherer zu werden? Machen wir uns Sorgen, für unser Alter nicht genug erreicht zu haben, oder fragen wir uns, ob wir unser Leben gerade mehr genießen sollten? Da wir alle mit diesen Gefühlen und Fragen nicht allein sind, wollen wir sie gemeinsam erkunden, indem wir Antworten auf eine einfache, aber tiefgründige Frage sammeln: „Wie fühlt es sich gerade an, in meinem Alter zu sein?“ Wenn wir Glück haben, nehmen Menschen aus verschiedenen Generationen teil, sodass wir über Gemeinsamkeiten und Unterschiede sprechen können: Wie fühlt es sich heute an, 25, 35, 55 oder 75 zu sein? ACHTUNG ANDERE LOCATION UND ZEIT: Dieses Event ist Teil der Veranstaltungsreihe „Das Diskussions-Experiment in der Bibliothek“. In dieser Reihe sind wir in der Mittelpunktbibliothek Schöneberg zu Gast (🥳) und probieren dort gemeinsam neue Methoden, um Diskussionen interessant, inspirierend und entspannt zu gestalten. Anders als üblicherweise treffen wir uns diesmal an einem Samstag um 13 Uhr. **Die Teilnahme ist kostenlos!** Weitere Informationen findest du in den FAQs weiter unten. Schreib uns gerne, wenn du Fragen hast. *(Bild erstellt mit Open AI)* +++++++++ **FAQ** ***Was kann ich von dem Event erwarten?*** Jede Veranstaltung ist ein Experiment, daher ist es schwierig, genau vorherzusagen, wie sie verlaufen oder sich anfühlen wird. Wir versuchen in jedem Event eine entspannte und anregende Atmosphäre zu schaffen, in der wir verschiedene Aspekte und Perspektiven des Themas gemeinsam erkunden. Zu Beginn der Diskussion werden wir spezielle Spielregeln einführen, die das Gespräch langsamer, aber auch fokussierter und klarer machen sollen. ***Für wen ist dieses Event gedacht?*** Diese Veranstaltung richtet sich an alle, die sich für das Thema und/oder das Konzept interessieren. Wir möchten einen Raum schaffen, in dem sich Menschen jeden Alters, jeder Identität und jeder Herkunft willkommen fühlen. ***Muss ich aktiv mitdiskutieren, oder kann ich auch nur zuhören?*** Es ist völlig in Ordnung, nur zuzuhören. Du kannst jederzeit selbst entscheiden, wie aktiv du sein möchtest, und wirst, abgesehen von einer kurzen Namensrunde, nicht aufgefordert, etwas zu sagen. Möglicherweise gibt es jedoch Kleingruppen-Phasen, d. h. kurze Abschnitte, in denen alle Teilnehmer\*innen in Gruppen von 2-3 Personen diskutieren. Du musst daran nicht teilnehmen, sondern kannst die Zeit stattdessen für eine Pause nutzen. Du musst nichts vorbereiten, keine starke Meinung haben und auch nicht extrovertiert sein, um teilzunehmen. ***Wie lange dauert die Veranstaltung?*** Die Veranstaltung dauert zwischen 1,5 und 2 Stunden. ***Ist der Veranstaltungsort rollstuhlgerecht?*** Ja. Dieses Event findet in der Mittelpunktbibliothek Schöneberg statt und ist somit rollstuhlgerecht. Das ist leider nicht immer der Fall, da wir an verschiedenen Orten veranstalten. Bitte prüfe daher am besten immer die FAQs vor deinem Besuch. ***Was ist das "Diskussions Experiment"?*** Das Diskussionsexperiment ist eine Veranstaltungsreihe, in deren Rahmen wir kontinuierlich Methoden testen, die sinnvolle und inspirierende Gruppengespräche ermöglichen. Unter anderem experimentieren wir mit Techniken, die Diskussionen verlangsamen, Klarheit fördern und die Teilnehmer dabei unterstützen, besser Gehör zu finden. Weitere Informationen findest du auf der [Webseite](https://diskussions-experiment.de/en/home/). Dieses Projekt wird von Maria Scholze und [Igor Don](http://www.linkedin.com/in/igor-don) organisiert.

It’s time to take control of your mental health. How do you get rid of stress, anxiety and uncertainty? These emotions are buried deep in your reactive mind. Find out what the reactive mind is, and in the process find yourself. Have you ever suffered from a traumatic experience, a deep loss or been through a painful breakup? Has your ability to communicate suffered as a result? And after that, even though you "moved on" did you find that things were never quite the same? Have you ever looked at childhood photos, or reminisced your early life and wondered where that happiness and spark went? Are your emotions out of your own control? Have you ever felt, even if you aren’t aware of it, that possibly you are getting in your own way of your happiness and success? How does this affect your self-confidence? Find out what is at the root of all stress, anxiety, depression and self-doubt. Find out how and why you hold yourself back from achieving your goals and having the life you have dreamed of. As soon as you learn what is at the root of these unwanted conditions, you’ll see it is something you can DO something about. You will not be labeled or categorized at this MeetUp.
