Galerie Linger – Art, Books & Press https://www.instagram.com/p/DU7i_JqDCD1/ Saturday, 21 February · 6-7:30 pm Boppstraße 2, Souterrain links · Kreuzberg sliding scale €10-20 · 1.5h · materials included galerielinger@gmail.com We’re looking for people interested in drawing as a contemporary practice. The sessions combine life drawing with discussion, focusing on drawing beyond academic technique and classical representation. After drawing from the model, we look at the works collectively and discuss how drawing functions today – between representation, notation, performance, and contemporary image culture. The aim is to form a small group that returns regularly and develops a shared discourse around new ways of drawing. //////////////////////////////////////////// Taking a cue from Ranciere’s “Ignorant Schoolamster”, IGNORANT DRAWING begins from the suspension of the doxa: on what is a good drawing, or how to draw. It’s not necessary to apply skill, memory, anatomy, expression, or composition in advance. Here, each line is taken as a proposal whose consequences may be accepted. \# drawing what you do not yet understand \# not correcting a line; continuing it \# when a form appears\, it’s an accidental evidence \# avoiding style; repeating procedures instead \# writing beside the drawing when drawing stops \# drawing the drawing \# a drawing may become a score for another drawing Exhibition of the drawings is part of the method. Publication of the fragments is a drawing stretched wider.

Welcome to Sunday Tech Coffee. This is a **networking** event for those in the tech industry in Berlin. We are usually inside and to the right. Ask the barista/bartender if you can't find us.

**Welcome to the inaugural meeting of the International Relations / Foreign Policy Group Columbus!** This group brings together students, professionals, academics, and anyone interested in global affairs, diplomacy, and geopolitics. Our first meetup will be an informal discussion focused on current international developments and global trends. This is a great opportunity to: • Meet others interested in international relations and foreign policy • Discuss current global events and geopolitical developments • Exchange perspectives and ideas in a respectful environment • Build a network of globally minded individuals in Central Ohio (Columbus and periphery) **Discussion topics may include:** * Strategic planning for the group and the way forward * US foreign policy priorities in 2026 * Major geopolitical developments (Europe, Asia, Middle East) * Global security and strategic competition * International economic and diplomatic trends No prior expertise is required—everyone is welcome, whether you're a student, professional, or simply interested in world affairs. **This will be a casual, friendly, and intellectually engaging conversation.** I look forward to meeting everyone and building a strong international relations / foreign policy community in Central Ohio.

**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you.

In this session, we’ll explore how GitHub Spec-Kit enables teams to treat specifications as first-class artifacts—living documents that drive architecture, implementation, and verification. You’ll learn how Spec-Kit helps teams clearly express intent using structured, version-controlled specs that live alongside code. We’ll walk through a practical workflow that starts with defining system behavior and constraints, then progressively refines those specs into testable, automatable outcomes. Along the way, we’ll show how specs can reduce ambiguity, improve cross-functional collaboration, and make design decisions explicit before a single line of production code is written. This talk will cover: --What spec-driven development is (and what it isn’t) --How GitHub Spec-Kit fits into modern developer workflows --Using specs to align product, engineering, and AI-assisted development --Real-world examples of turning specs into implementations with confidence Whether you’re building greenfield systems, integrating AI into your stack, or trying to reduce costly rework, spec-driven development offers a scalable way to move faster without sacrificing clarity. Attendees will leave with concrete patterns and a clear mental model for adopting GitHub Spec-Kit in their own projects. **YouTube Link** TBA
