Photography Exhibitions

The exhibition **Oracular Collage** is a magical invitation: each viewer is invited to access messages for their own life through the artworks. Life is symbolic, and when we are fully present, these messages emerge like letters from the Universe. With studies based on Tarot archetypes, magic, and symbolism, the art reveals itself as a living oracle, unfolding through the senses of those who contemplate it. In this exhibition, the artist revisits feelings and symbols, and presents a series of collages and mixed mídia artwork created in Brazil and Germany over a period of ten years. **Vanessa D. Neuber** is a Brazilian artist and curator based in Berlin. With a background in design, art history, and analytical psychology, with an emphasis on mythology, storytelling, and arts, she explores artistic creation as a path to self-knowledge, building bridges between words and images, the visible and the hidden, the dreamlike and the everyday. Her artistic research dialogues with philosophy, quantum physics, symbolism, mindfulness, migration, and feminism. Fascinated by mystery and unanswered questions, she seeks to destabilize certainties and imagine new worlds, inviting the public to experience art as living matter: vital, necessary, and transformative.

**Von Einsamkeit zu Gemeinschaft \| Verbindungen schaffen** **mit *Marco Obermüller*** **Geschlossene Gruppe \| 6 Mal donnerstags \| auf Deutsch\*** für **LGBTQIA**+ kostenlos mit **[Anmeldung](https://wearevillage.org/shop/einsamkeitserien1/w04-2026/)** Einsamkeit kann entstehen, wenn Menschen wenig Gelegenheit haben, eine echte Verbindung zu anderen zu erleben. Hier setzt die Gruppe an, indem sie Räume schafft, in denen Zugehörigkeit aktiv erfahrbar wird. Im gemeinsamen Arbeiten an persönlichen Themen entsteht ein sozialer Resonanzraum, der Isolation durch Beziehung und Kontakt ersetzt. Durch das strukturierte Teilen von Erfahrungen wird Einsamkeit sichtbar, besprechbar und damit veränderbar. Durch moderierte Interaktion, Perspektivwechsel, kleine Experimente des Kontakterlebens und dem gemeinsamen Reflektieren, entwickeln Teilnehmende neue Formen von Verbundenheit und Strategien für soziale Wirksamkeit. Die Gruppe fungiert nicht nur als Unterstützung, sondern als Lernfeld für Beziehungsgestaltung. So entstehen tragfähige Verbindungen, die über das einzelne Treffen hinaus wirken und helfen, Einsamkeit nachhaltig zu reduzieren. **Hinweise** Diese Serie ist offen für alle. Diese Gruppe besteht aus maximal 15 Teilnehmern. **Sprache:** Dieses Reihe wird auf Deutsch sein. Dein Deutsch sollte fließend genug sein, um eine Veranstaltung auf Deutsch zu folgen. **Wichtig**: Du musst dich für die 6 Termine verpflichten. **Termine**: 22./01, 12./02, 26./02, 12./03, 09./04, and 23./04. **Geschlossene Gruppe**: Diese Struktur schafft eine vertrauensvolle Umgebung, in der Teilnehmer tiefergehende Verbindungen aufbauen können. **Kosten**: kostenlos mit Anmeldung *\*\* Diese Veranstaltung ist Teil unseres Programms ‚****[Gemeinsam statt einsam](https://wearevillage.org/village-quartiere/addressing-queer-lonliness)****‚, unterstützt von der* ***[LADS](https://www.berlin.de/sen/lads/)****.* *Erfahre mehr über das Programm [hier](https://wearevillage.org/village-quartiere/addressing-queer-lonliness).* 🔵 **From Loneliness to Community \| Creating Connections** **with *Marco Obermüller*** **Closed Group \| 6 Thursdays \| In German\*** für **LGBTQIA+** Free event with **[registration](https://wearevillage.org/en/shop/einsamkeitserien1/w04-2026/)** Loneliness can arise when people have few opportunities to experience genuine connection with others. This is where the group comes in, creating spaces in which a sense of belonging can be actively experienced. By working together on personal topics, a social space of resonance emerges that replaces isolation with relationship and contact. Through the structured sharing of experiences, loneliness becomes visible, discussable, and therefore open to change. Through facilitated interaction, shifts in perspective, small experiments in experiencing contact, and shared reflection, participants develop new forms of connectedness and strategies for social effectiveness. The group functions not only as a source of support, but also as a learning environment for shaping relationships. In this way, resilient connections are formed that extend beyond the individual meeting and help to sustainably reduce loneliness. **General Information** This group consists of a maximum of 15 participants. **Language**: This series will be held in German. This series is open to everyone. Your German should be fluent enough to follow an event in German. **Important**: you must commit to all 6 sessions. **Dates**: 22/01, 12/02, 26/02, 12/03, 09/04, and 23/04. **Closed Group**: This structure creates a supportive environment where participants can build deeper connections. **Cost**: free event with registration *\*\* This event is part of the we are village program ‘****[Belonging versus Lonelines](https://wearevillage.org/village-quartiere/addressing-queer-lonliness)****‘, with the support of* ***[LADS](https://www.berlin.de/sen/lads/en/)****.* *Learn more about the program [here](https://wearevillage.org/village-quartiere/addressing-queer-lonliness).*
