Librarians

We talk about **comics**! Graphic novels, graphic non-fiction, comic strips, superhero comics, manga - all types of comics are welcome. **Bring a comic book that you are currently reading or one that you want to talk about** (either a physical or digital copy). If you read comics on your tablet, then bring your tablet with you. If you haven't read anything recently (life gets in the way, we know), then feel free to come for comic recommendations. This meetup is extra special — **we’re celebrating our 2nd anniversary**! 🎉 We’ve built a wonderful community together, and I hope it continues to grow for many more years 😀 We will meet at the café inside the Bode Museum, on the first floor. You don’t need a ticket — just enter the museum and go upstairs to the café. Looking forward to seeing you there!

\*\*\*\*\*\* ***For address and more details see the website www.pausify.org*** \*\*\*\*\*\* **Event Info:** Events happen every Sat and Sun at 11 AM. Bring along your **current book to read** (or something **creative** to work on ) and join us for this mix of a shared focus time + discussion. \- 11:00\-11:30 \- Meet & greet \- 11:30\-12:30 \- Silent focus time \- 12:30 \- Discussion of books/ projects over coffee Afterwards, join for lunch if you'd like (optional). **Drinks & snacks are included** ☕️ * **To reserve your place, a ticket (€9,90/event) or a community pass (only €19,90/MONTH) [from the website](https://pausify.org/) *www.pausify.org* is required** * **Attendance here doesn’t show all sign-ups from other platforms. We usually have about 50 to 100 people at each event.** ***FAQ: Why does it cost money if I bring my own project?*** Because we rent a beautiful, central space for every event. Ever thought your monthly apartment rent was too high? Well, multiply that – that’s what commercial spaces in big cities like Berlin cost *per hour*. Of course, if all you want is just some quiet time, your home or a library is perfect. But if you’d like to focus & connect with others in an inspiring space – with drinks, snacks included – that’s what your ticket helps to cover.

Dear Book Enthusiasts, For our April gathering, we’ll be reading *Satantango* by the Hungarian writer **László Krasznahorkai**. First published in 1985, this haunting and hypnotic novel unfolds in a decaying Hungarian village after the fall of a collective farm. As rumors spread that the long-absent Irimiás has returned, the remaining residents are drawn into a slow-moving dance of hope, manipulation, despair, and illusion. *Satantango* explores the fragility of belief, the psychology of communities in decline, and the uneasy space between redemption and deception. 📅 Date & Time: 12.04.2026 at 15:00 📍 Location: Audrey coffee, Holzendorffstraße 18, 14057 Berlin 💬 Fee: As always, a 3 € contribution after the meeting helps cover organization costs I’m very much looking forward to discussing this darkly atmospheric and philosophically rich novel with you — and to sharing another thoughtful afternoon together. Warmly, Sofya

AI is changing how art is made. But when does it stop being your work and start being the machine’s? This month we're going to be doing a panel with with digital image, music, and written word artists, talking about at what point, while using AI in the creation process, does the work become not the artist creation? We encourage audience participation during this event that will be moderated by Chris Slee.
