Creative Living

Für Mitglieder von Text Collective Berlin ist die Teilnahme an dieser Veranstaltung kostenlos. Nicht-Mitglieder werden um einen Teilnahmebeitrag von zehn Euro gebeten. Hier buchen: [https://textcollective.de/ticket](https://textcollective.de/ticket) Es handelt sich um einen moderierten Workshop. Kreative Schreibübung mit anschließender Diskussion zum Erfahrungsaustausch, Inspiration und Motivation zu sammeln. Ein Raum für alle, die kreativ schreiben möchten – egal ob du gerade erst anfängst oder schon länger schreibst. **Jeden ersten Samstag des Monats von 15:00 Uhr bis 17:00 Uhr in der ufaFabrik in Tempelhof.** **Was dich erwartet:** In unseren Treffen arbeiten wir mit abwechslungsreichen Schreibimpulsen, die neue Perspektiven eröffnen und spielerisches Experimentieren ermöglichen. Du schreibst direkt vor Ort, teilst deine Texte mit der Gruppe (freiwillig!) und erhältst konstruktives Feedback. Die Atmosphäre ist offen und unterstützend. Hier darf ein Text noch unfertig sein, eine Idee noch roh, ein Gedanke noch unausgereift. In dieser Atmosphäre gegenseitiger Wertschätzung entsteht der Mut, sich auszuprobieren und die eigene Stimme zu entdecken. Wir lesen einander vor, geben Rückmeldung, ermutigen uns gegenseitig und praktizieren das Zuhören.

**Nerds, Creatives & Dreamers** is a small, curated gathering in Berlin for two kinds of people who almost never end up in the same room: the ones who build things with code, and the ones who build things with imagination. Developers and painters. Engineers and writers. Founders and photographers. In daily life these worlds rarely collide — here, that collision is the whole point. Just a good space, a deliberate mix of curious people, and the freedom to let the evening unfold. Come ready to be surprised by who you meet and where the evening takes you. A room full of curious humans. We’re here to socialize as human beings. And if you do exchange contacts — make it personal, not transactional. **🛠 If You Build Things** · Developers & Engineers · Designers & Product People · Founders · People Who Code for Fun **🎨 If You Create Things** · Writers & Journalists · Photographers · Artists & Painters · Anyone With a Side Obsession 👉 **You can also join via Luma if this event reaches capacity: https://luma.com/0y2yd2q4** Please RSVP “yes” only if you can make it, so we can save a seat for you and others on the waitlist. **📝 Note:** You are welcome to attend our social meetup! The event is free. The space is generously hosted for us — the only thing we ask is that you support it by buying a drink, etc. A small gesture that keeps evenings like this possible. **🤝 Community:** This is a space built on curiosity and respect. We keep it that way — for everyone.

We cordially invite you to the exhibition ONE YEAR OF CREATIVITY by Linda, known as Lovely Lynn Loves. **Vernissage** Friday, June 5, 2-10 p.m. **Opening** Times Saturday & Sunday, June 6 & 7, 6-10 p.m. Linda is an artist whose journey into art has been shaped by sensitivity, a longing for freedom and a deep connection to nature. Having grown up in a small village, music, creativity and a love of flowers, colours and the beauty of the earth have been part of her life since her earliest childhood. Her artistic development was shaped by formative family influences: her grandmother, who introduced her to nature, and her grandfather, who nurtured her creativity through music. She sang from an early age, loved art and music at school, and throughout many stages of her life has repeatedly found expression through design, sound and language. Today, her work combines watercolour art, upcycled fashion, doodles, natural materials, poems and song lyrics into a unique, vibrant visual language. Her art is an expression of a journey that speaks of lived experience, transformation, courage and a strong inner creativity. In 2025, she exhibited her work for the first time in the ‘Summer Memories’ exhibition at the Kunstraum Heartspacea, and has since been constantly developing her style across slow fashion, painting, workshops and independent artistic practice. In her art, she weaves together watercolor, upcycling, doodle art, natural materials, music, and language to create a multifaceted, deeply personal visual world. Her works emerge from a creative journey shaped by a deep connection to nature, lived experience, and a desire for self-expression, freedom, and sustainability. In her current exhibition, she showcases these diverse facets of her creative practice in a vibrant blend of painting, fashion, text, and object art.

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.

## Nostalgia, Energy & Iconic Moves Step back into the golden era of MTV and VIVA and celebrate Yourself through the power of music and movement. This class brings back the magic of a time when we watched weekly charts, learned choreographies from music videos, and were inspired by icons like Britney Spears, Beyoncé, and Shakira. It’s all about reliving that energy—while making it Your own. Led by Anastasia, a Berlin-based dance instructor who started her journey back when Commercial Dance was known as Videoclip Dancing. She used to switch between MTV and VIVA, recording her favorite music videos on VHS to learn every move by heart. Today, she brings these memories back to life - blending nostalgia with fresh energy and a deep love for movement. ‍ > I would like to create a space where You feel free to express Yourself, reconnect with the music You love, and enjoy every moment on the dancefloor. – Anastasia ‍ Each session offers a mix of technique, grooves, and choreography inspired by legendary music videos, adapted to the level of every participant (both beginners and experienced dancers). Expect a dynamic, feel-good atmosphere where You can let go, have fun, and reconnect with the joy of dancing. * While we’re celebrating the millennial era, all generations are warmly welcome **TICKETS:** available: at the Box Office before the class ‍ See You Soon. Love. Anastasia & DNA. LEVEL: All levels WHAT YOU NEED: sneaker, comfy clothes COSTS: €15 Regular (Online / Box Office) \- Free for DNA\. Members

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.

A Sunday morning just for you and your words. We’ll be meeting at the beautiful Kunstraum Heartspace in Prenzlauer Berg – a small group, plenty of peace and quiet, and vegan treats. Here’s what our morning will look like: First, we’ll settle in together with a guided meditation to clear our minds and get us in the mood for writing. Then we’ll dive straight in: a first writing exercise with reflective questions on a shared theme – gratitude, focus, best-case scenarios or a look at our goals. These prompts come from my online course “Journaling for Beginners” and offer you a gentle, structured introduction to writing. Of course, there’s also time for free writing: On your own project, with further writing prompts from me, or simply with whatever’s on your mind at the moment. To finish, anyone who’d like to can read a passage aloud or briefly share what moved them that morning – entirely voluntary, of course. By the way: It doesn’t matter at all whether you’re just starting out or have been writing for a long time. All levels are welcome! **[Get your tickets here.](https://sarahniklowitz.de/sunday-morning-pages-brunch/)**[ ](https://sarahniklowitz.de/sunday-morning-pages-brunch/)

**Meditate with Mandalas:** This workshop invites you to step away from everyday life for a while and immerse yourself in the tranquil world of mandalas. Mandala Artist Katja Bode introduces you to the meditative art of mandala drawing. Lines, shapes, and colors emerge step by step, naturally leading you into a meditative, relaxing flow. It's not about perfection, but about experiencing creativity, peace, and the joy of creating. That way, you'll create a personal mandala—an expression of your inner peace and a little respite for body and soul. **[Tickets via Eventbrite](https://www.eventbrite.de/e/meditative-mandalas-workshop-tickets-1989890955414?aff=erelexpmlt)**
