**Weirding Practice - Queer Bridges** with ***Sefa Okutan*** for **LGBTQIA+ Queer Migrants** **[Free event with registration](https://wearevillage.org/en/shop/queer-bridges-monday/w19-2026)** 🔵 The work explores movement and constant transformation shaped by diverse life experiences. It engages a sense of “weirding”; uncertainty, curiosity, and confusion; as a familiar space for queer people with migrant experiences, where unexpected connections can emerge. The work centers on movement and constant transformation inspired by diverse life experiences. Within this process, a sense of “*weirding”,* uncertainty, confusion, curiosity; may emerge. This sensation is not unfamiliar to queer people with lived migrant experiences; rather, it can become a point of intersection where unexpected situations and connections appear. Participants are invited to play with movement research scores that explore this ongoing sense of weirding, allowing dance to gradually emerge. Drawing on performative elements of drag as well as embodied experiences and sensory memory, we will create **Performing Artifacts** (accumulations of movement research that take on a tangible and reusable form). **Queer Bridges: Forging connections and providing resources for LGBTQIA+ people with experiences of migration and/or displacement.** Queer people with experiences of migration and/or displacement in Berlin often face unique challenges in their daily lives that can limit their access to supportive communities and inclusive environments. With the support of the **Deutsche Fernsehlotterie Stiftung**, we have developed the Queer Bridges program to overcome these barriers. We provide resources, networking and support in a welcoming environment for queer immigrants and refugees through our special program. Our goal is to foster a sense of belonging to the local LGBTQIA+ community, enabling smooth integration and an improved quality of life for queer folks with experiences of migration and/or displacement. ✅ Our **Queer Bridges** program will continue to evolve and we are always happy to hear about your needs. If you are interested, you can send us an e-mail to stay informed about further updates. **General Information** **Participants**: This workshop is for all who identify as LGBTQ+ and have experienced migration and/or displacement. If you don’t share these experiences but are interested in joining please reach out to us first to see if space is available. We ask that all participants respect the program’s core focus and contribute to fostering an open respectful space. **Registration**: This event has limited spots available. Registration through our website is therefore required. **Language**: English **Cost:** The event is free of charge. 🔵 **Weirding Practice- Queer Bridges** mit ***Sefa Okutan*** fur **LGBTQIA+ Queere Migranten** ##### Kostenlos mit[ Anmeldung](https://wearevillage.org/shop/queer-bridges-monday/w19-2026/) Die Arbeit erforscht Bewegung und ständige Transformation, geprägt von vielfältigen Lebenserfahrungen. Ein Gefühl des „Weirding“; Unsicherheit, Neugier und Verwirrung; wird als vertrauter Raum für queere Menschen mit Migrationserfahrungen verstanden, in dem unerwartete Verbindungen entstehen können. Die Teilnehmenden experimentieren mit Bewegungsscores und lassen Tanz organisch entstehen. Ausgehend von Drag, verkörpertem Wissen und sensorischer Erinnerung entwickeln sie Performing Artifacts; greifbare, wiederverwendbare Formen von Bewegungsforschung. Ausgehend von performativen Elementen des Drag sowie verkörperten Erfahrungen und sensorischen Erinnerungen werden wir Performing Artifacts schaffen (Akkumulationen von Bewegungsforschung, die eine greifbare und wiederverwendbare Form annehmen). **Queer Bridges: Verbindungen schaffen und Ressourcen für LGBTQIA+ Menschen mit Migrationserfahrung bereitstellen.** Queere Menschen mit Migrationserfahrung in Berlin sehen sich in ihrem täglichen Leben oft mit besonderen Herausforderungen konfrontiert, die ihren Zugang zu unterstützenden Gemeinschaften und integrativen Umgebungen einschränken können. Mit Unterstützung der **Deutschen Fernsehlotterie Stiftung**, haben wir das Programm Queer Bridges entwickelt, um diese Hürden zu überwinden. Wir bieten Ressourcen, Vernetzung und Unterstützung in einem einladenden Umfeld für queere Migrant\*innen und Geflüchtete durch unser spezielles Programm. Unser Ziel ist es, ein Gefühl der Zugehörigkeit zur lokalen LGBTQIA+ Community zu fördern und damit eine reibungslose Integration sowie eine verbesserte Lebensqualität für queere Menschen mit Migrations- und/oder Fluchterfahrung zu ermöglichen. ✅ Unser **Queer Bridges** Programm wird sich stetig weiter entwickeln und wir freuen uns auch jederzeit von Euren Bedarfen zu hören. Bei Interesse könnt ihr uns eine E-Mail schicken, um über weitere Aktualisierungen informiert zu bleiben. **Hinweise** **Teilnehmende**: Dieser Workshop richtet sich an alle, die sich als LGBTQIA+ identifizieren und Migrations- und/oder Fluchterfahrung erlebt haben. Wenn ihr diese Erfahrungen nicht teilt, aber dennoch an einer Teilnahme interessiert seid, meldet euch bitte zuerst bei uns, um zu klären, ob ein Platz frei ist.

Michael Okada von den Meisterrednern hat beim Division Wettbewerb die beste vorbereitete Rede gehalten. Wir freuen uns sehr, ihn heute bei uns zu Gast zu haben und seine beeindruckende Rede zu erleben ******************************** Liebe Freunde des gesprochenen Wortes, Ob es darum geht, ein Meeting zu leiten oder im Familienkreis einen Toast auszusprechen – diese Situation vor Menschen zu stehen und etwas zu vermitteln kennt so gut wie jeder. Wir lernen gemeinsam, dabei gelassen und souverän zu bleiben, wertvolle Informationen zu transportieren und unser Publikum zu begeistern. **Was macht unseren Club besonders?** Unser "Mut und Rede" Club trägt nicht umsonst seinen Titel: wir pflegen einen wertschätzenden Umgang miteinander, sodass die Hemmschwelle möglichst gering ist, sich selbst auf die Bühne zu trauen. **Wie läuft so ein Clubabend ab?** Es warten vorbereitete Reden auf euch, aber auch ihr habt die Möglichkeit in geschütztem Raum eine spontan improvisierte freie Rede von 1 bis 2 min vor Publikum zu halten. Das klingt vielleicht im ersten Moment etwas abschreckend – aber es ist eine ganz tolle Erfahrung über sich selbst hinauszuwachsen. Und egal was passiert, ihr werdet immer für Euren Mut belohnt. Und es wird auch immer geklatscht. Wir freuen uns, Euch kennenzulernen! Hier findest du die genaue Wegbeschreibung: www.mut-und-rede.de/kontakt#anfahrt Um besser planen zu können freuen wir uns über vorherige Anmeldung: kontakt@mut-und-rede.de https://www.mut-und-rede.de Es findet grundsätzlich jeder Clubabend statt, auch wenn laut meetup nur wenige Teilnehmer zugesagt haben.

**Two talks. One founder story. One reality check on AI. No fluff.** **=== Please see the English version below ===** Vraćamo se sa 7. okupljanjem ljudi iz sveta tehnologije i preduzetništva iz bivše Jugoslavije (ex-YU), u organizaciji [Nemačkog kutka](https://nemackikutak.com/) i [Serbian Entrepreneurs](https://www.serbianentrepreneurs.com/). Događaj se održava na engleskom jeziku i otvoren je za sve - bilo da dolazite iz regiona ili ste deo šire zajednice. **\# Datum i lokacija** • Sreda, 6. maj 2026 • cognee.ai – Prilaz 4, 1. sprat, Paul-Lincke-Ufer 39–40 • Početak: 18:00 **\# Predavači i teme** Dva predavanja. Jedna osnivačka priča. Jedan ozbiljan pogled na veštačku inteligenciju. Sirovo, bez ulepšavanja. **Milica T. Jovanović** je senior istraživač korisničkog iskustva sa više od dve decenije iskustva u dizajnu, istraživanju i razvoju proizvoda. Bavi se razumevanjem stvarnog ponašanja korisnika i pretvaranjem uvida u bolje odluke u razvoju proizvoda, uz poseban fokus na ulogu veštačke inteligencije u istraživanju. U ovom predavanju, Milica govori o tome da li veštačka inteligencija treba da zameni istraživače korisničkog iskustva — gde daje rezultate, gde ne i šta se usput gubi. Takođe će pokazati kako se veliki jezički modeli mogu koristiti u istraživanju bez stvaranja lažnog osećaja sigurnosti. • **Tema:** Istraživač vs. mašina: Da li veštačka inteligencija može da zameni istraživanje korisničkog iskustva? **Jovan Stevović** je izvršni direktor i suosnivač kompanije Chino.io. Živi između Italije i Nemačke i radi u jednom od najzahtevnijih regulatornih okruženja — digitalno zdravstvo. Doktorirao je u oblasti inovacija u zdravstvu i ima više od deset godina iskustva u industriji, radeći na preseku veštačke inteligencije, usklađenosti sa propisima i razvoja proizvoda. U ovom predavanju, Jovan deli iskustvo izgradnje i prodaje kompanije. Od ideje, prvih odluka i obezbeđivanja finansiranja do toga kako zaista izgledaju prodaje kompanija iza kulisa. Iskustvo iz prve ruke koje nijedna knjiga ne može da prenese. • **Tema:** Od nule do prodaje: realna slika preduzetničkog puta **\# Program događaja** * **18:00 - 18:30** Ulaz i upoznavanje * **18:30 - 18:40** Uvodna reč * **18:40 - 19:00** Milica T.

Broj mesta je ograničen na 80 učesnika. Molimo vas da potvrdite dolazak kako bismo mogli da isplaniramo prostor, hranu i piće. Gradimo, delimo i podržavamo jedni druge.

The event is held in English and open to everyone - whether you’re from the region or just part of the broader scene. **\# Date and Location** * Wednesday, May 6, 2026 * cognee.ai - Courtyard 4, 1st Floor, Paul-Lincke-Ufer 39-40 * Start: 18:00 **\# Speakers and topics** **Two talks. One founder story. One reality check on AI. No fluff.** **Milica T. Jovanović** is a Senior UX Researcher with over two decades of experience across design, research, and product. She focuses on understanding real user behavior and turning insights into better product decisions, with a growing interest in the role of AI in research workflows. In this talk, Milica explores whether AI should replace UX researchers: where it works, where it fails, and what gets lost along the way. She shares how to use LLMs in research without falling into the trap of false confidence. * **Talk:** Researcher vs. The Machine: Should AI replace the UX researcher? **Jovan Stevović** is the CEO and co-founder of Chino.io, living between Italy and Germany and operating in one of the toughest regulatory environments: health tech. With a PhD in healthcare innovation and 10+ years in the industry, he operates at the intersection of AI, compliance, and product. In this talk, Jovan shares a raw perspective on building and selling a business: from day zero decisions and fundraising to how exit deals are actually structured behind the scenes. First-hand experience no book can teach. * **Talk:** Day Zero to Exit: The Founder’s Full Circle Reality Check **\# Timetable** * **18:00 - 18:30** Entry & networking * **18:30 - 18:40** Opening note * **18:40 - 19:00** Milica T.

**NOTE: VENUE CHANGE DUE TO WEATHER!** Join us at the Social Hub in Mitte this Wednesday for a fun, casual evening of socializing with other Berlin screenwriters. No agenda.

Join us for Mercy of the Gods by James S. A. Corey. How humanity came to the planet called Anjiin is lost in the fog of history, but that history is about to end. The Carryx - part empire, part hive - have waged wars of conquest for centuries, destroying or enslaving species across the galaxy. Now, they are facing a great and deathless enemy. The key to their survival may rest with the humans of Anjiin. Caught up in academic intrigue and affairs of the heart, Dafyd Alkhor is pleased just to be an assistant to a brilliant scientist and his celebrated research team. Then the Carryx ships descend, decimating the human population and taking the best and brightest of Anjiin society away to serve on the Carryx homeworld, and Dafyd is swept along with them. They are dropped in the middle of a struggle they barely understand, set in a competition against the other captive species with extinction as the price of failure. Only Dafyd and a handful of his companions see past the Darwinian contest to the deeper game that they must play to learning to understand - and manipulate - the Carryx themselves. With a noble but suicidal human rebellion on one hand and strange and murderous enemies on the other, the team pays a terrible price to become the trusted servants of their new rulers. Dafyd Alkhor is a simple man swept up in events that are beyond his control and more vast than his imagination. He will become the champion of humanity and its betrayer, the most hated man in history and the guardian of his people. This is where his story begins.

We meet at lunch each week and each meeting follows a fairly organized agenda. First all participants pass their business cards around. Then each member and guest is invited to give a one-minute overview of their company and what is a perfect referral for the week. We always have a 10 minute presentation from one of the members about their business in more detail. And finally we pass referrals. You're welcome to visit. Nobody is ever put on the spot. Bring plenty of cards!

Join us as we get together to see your choice of two VERY different movies – one sweet and wholesome – the other a terrifying folklore horror! Option 1 is the fun whodunnit-action-comedy-mystery led by Hugh Jackman, THE SHEEP DETECTIVES! Option 2 is the top-reviewed supernatural-horror-thriller starring Adam Scott, HOKUM! Here’s a description, trailer and plan for this event: THE SHEEP DETECTIVES: Every night a shepherd reads aloud a murder mystery, pretending his sheep can understand. When he is found dead, the sheep realize at once that it was a murder and think they know everything about how to go about solving it. The film is directed by Kyle Balda and take a look at this ensemble cast: Hugh Jackman, Nicholas Braun, Molly Gordon, Hong Chau and Emma Thompson and the voices of Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Bryan Cranston, Chris O'Dowd, Regina Hall, Patrick Stewart, Bella Ramsey, Brett Goldstein and Rhys Darby. TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pyZI5oM6hWk HOKUM: In this film, a horror writer visits an Irish inn to scatter his parents' ashes, unaware the property is said to be haunted by a witch. It is written/directed by Damian McCarthy stars Adam Scott, Peter Coonan, David Wilmot, Florence Ordesh and Austin Amelio. Hokum premiered to rave reviews at this year’s SXSW Festival and is being release by Neon. It is earning a stellar 97% positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes, which calls it, “A classic haunted house story enriched with atmospheric folklore and perfectly-timed shocks!” TRAILER: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVCIK_MPyhc PLAN: We’ll plan for a 7pm-ish showing of both films and will meet inside the theater lobby about 20 minutes before showtime. If the showtimes work out, we’ll try to get both groups together for a bite before the shows! Complete details and showtime will be confirmed/announced as the date gets closer. Look forward to seeing you there, Dan
