THROUGH THE SAHARA WITHOUT A CELL PHONE: PANEL DISCUSSION ON FLEEING TO SEEK REFUGE BY MSF

THROUGH THE SAHARA WITHOUT A CELL PHONE: PANEL DISCUSSION ON FLEEING TO SEEK REFUGE BY MSF

Whether for navigation, translation or communication: the cell phone is one of the most important tools, especially when fleeing from persecution, war or violence. Unfortunately, they are too often confiscated by border police or criminal gangs, because of their value or to deter asylum seekers. More than a hundred million people worldwide are on the run. Reporting tends to focus on sea rescue or entry via the EU’s external borders. Journalist Özge Inan and migration expert Marie von Manteuffel will join moderator Anna Dushime on “Through the Sahara without a cell phone” to shed light on fleeing, migration, and how European interests influence African border policies. What challenges do migrants face? How do people cross the dangerous Sahara? And what medical aid is available along refugee routes? The work of MSF(Médecins sans frontières) and questions like these will be discussed in this panel. Journalist and writer Özge Inan approaches flight and migration from a legal perspective. In her novel “Natürlich kann man hier nicht leben” (Of course you can’t live here), she tells the story of a political escape between Turkey and Germany. At Holzmarkt, you can explore the sea rescue boat “Geo Barents” in the Mediterranean with VR glasses and find out how you can get involved — because solidarity and support are essential, especially in times of crisis. Join us for this important discussion and a time to put your cell phone down for two hours.

VULVA DIVERSITY THROUGH ART — HOW ARTISTS FREE THEMSELVES FROM FEELINGS OF SHAME TOWARDS VULVAS

VULVA DIVERSITY THROUGH ART — HOW ARTISTS FREE THEMSELVES FROM FEELINGS OF SHAME TOWARDS VULVAS

“Um, my vagina doesn’t look like this. One vulva lip is longer than the other.” This blunt observation comes from 17-year-old Aimee Gibbs in the Netflix series “Sex Education” as she holds a teaching model of a vulva in her hands. And this is exactly what Amorelie wants to shed light on with the exhibition Vulva – Diversity through art. Together with sexological bodyworker Iva Samina and curator Julia Meyer-Brehm, it provokes an important discussion because, with four billion women worldwide, diverse representation of vulvas is long overdue. The exhibition is a joint project by Amorelie and Iva Samina. The exhibition is three days long and includes photographs by four artists Jennifer Adler, Ute Klein, Lorelai Wimmer and Jaqueline Louan, which were taken during Iva’s “Vulva Watching” workshops. But it’s not only photographs that await you. There are also vulva sculptures by Vulvarium on display. The exhibition is both artistically inspiring and educational! Amorelie and Iva have also come up with something for your ears. At an audio station, you can be a fly on the wall at one of Iva’s past workshops and listen in, immersing yourself in the atmosphere. In addition, various vulva-related workshops will take place at three other locations. These have been organized by Iva, together with the coaches, and offer you the opportunity to brush up on your anatomical know-how, for example, what the term “body sex” means. There will also be plenty of sensual workshops on offer, including the “Yoni, Cacao and Clay Workshop”. So, if you’re curious, drop by the exhibition and embark on an enlightening journey that delves beyond the surface (of our clothes)!

KEEP DREAMING ABOUT THE FUTURE — DISCOVER YOUR DREAM MASTER’S DEGREE AT ONE OF THE BEST UNIVERSITIES IN THE WORLD AT THE QS MASTER’S FAIR

KEEP DREAMING ABOUT THE FUTURE — DISCOVER YOUR DREAM MASTER’S DEGREE AT ONE OF THE BEST UNIVERSITIES IN THE WORLD AT THE QS MASTER’S FAIR

When I finished my Bachelor’s degree, I found myself in a bit of a rut. I didn’t feel ready for the world. I wanted to learn more but I was bored with my average German university. I yearned to pursue a Master’s degree but I wasn’t sure which field of study to pursue. The only thing I knew for sure was I wanted to study somewhere else — to meet new people, discover new interests, and overcome new challenges. In the end, I decided on business in Berlin. The city was new, the people were different, and the coursework was engaging. I came to appreciate and love it all. However, there were times when I wished I had aimed even higher, ventured further, and expanded my horizons and professional development. For those who have not yet pursued their Master’s degree (or are contemplating another), an informational event is scheduled for 12.03.2024. Attending this event will provide the extra ounce of courage needed to travel to destinations like the USA, France, Berkeley, INSEAD, and NUS. QS, the publisher of international university rankings, cordially invites you to the QS Master’s Fair at the Titanic am Gendarmenmarkt, where 25 top international universities will showcase themselves. Admission is free, and the event includes lectures on financing, feasibility, and, best of all, exclusive scholarships for attendees. What better motivation for shaping your dream future?

LET’S GO BERLINALE — THE 74TH EDITION OF THE INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL STARTS TODAY

LET’S GO BERLINALE — THE 74TH EDITION OF THE INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL STARTS TODAY

The year is 2024. It’s February. The Berlin sky is gray. If you’ve been hibernating and missed the recent discussions, here’s a reminder: it’s Berlinale time again. The film festival is in its 74th edition, showcasing over 230 films for ten days starting today (15.02.2024). Tim Mielant’s historical drama “Small Things Like This“, featuring Cillian Murphy as a coal merchant in a small town in Wexford, Ireland, during the 1980s, will open the red carpet event. The film is part of the competition, vying for the Silver and Golden Bears against 19 other productions such as the documentary “Dahomey” and the debut film “Mé el Aïn” by Tunisian-French director Meryam Joobeur. Besides the buzz at Potsdamer Platz, Berlinale Goes Kiez (17.–23.02.) is back, bringing a touch of glamour to Berlin’s arthouse cinemas and beyond. “Last Swim” will be screened at City Kino Wedding, marking Sasha Nathwani’s feature film debut and kicking off the Generation 14pluscategory. The story revolves around Ziba, a British-Iranian teenager embarking on a journey of discovery with her friends on a scorching summer day in London. On 21.02. at Babylon Kreuzberg, Yorgos Zois invites you to a deserted seaside resort with “Arcadia“, where neurologist Katerina and former doctor Yannis are tasked with identifying a corpse. This captivating drama is part of Encounters, a section dedicated to showcasing new perspectives on cinema.

Fans of Nora Fingscheidt since “Systemsprenger” should add “The Outrun” to their must-watch list: Saoirse Ronan portrays Rona, who returns home after a long absence. As she confronts her memories of childhood and her tumultuous time in London, a poignant adaptation of Amy Liptrot’s autobiographical bestseller unfolds. Alongside the Berlinale’s main program, there’s a rich array of additional events. One notable example is Gewächshaus, a network by and for BIPOC filmmakers, hosting masterclasses, workshops, parties, and more at Fotografiska under the theme “Shifting Power at Berlinale”. Here’s hoping you snag tickets and soak in the festival atmosphere! What better way to escape Berlin’s dreariness than by immersing yourself in a film marathon, sinking into a cinema seat with popcorn in hand, and being transported to another world.

The complete Berlinale program is available online. Further information can be found on the website.

WHOLEY GOOD MOOD POP-UP: BERLIN START-UPS FOR POSITIVE CHANGE IN THE FOOD INDUSTRY

WHOLEY GOOD MOOD POP-UP: BERLIN START-UPS FOR POSITIVE CHANGE IN THE FOOD INDUSTRY

January is almost over and with it the Vegan Food Challenge. As with many ambitious resolutions (more exercise, work-life balance, sustainable living), this is usually the end of the road. They rarely make it beyond the first few weeks of the year. Berlin start-up Wholey makes sticking to veganism a lot easier. They have set themselves the task of revolutionizing the breakfast game with organic plant-based products, focusing on long-term lifestyle changes. And they’re inviting you to Wholey headquarters in Berlin-Wedding this Saturday (27.01.2024), where they’ll be hosting the very first Good Mood Pop-Up, to help bring you closer to positive change and a healthier lifestyle. Together with innovative Berlin brands such as Mondarella, Vly, Mamma Natur, Karl & Karlo, BettaF!sh, Kombuchery, Kruut, Reoat and Ylumi, the motto is: using purely plant-based ingredients does not mean food has to be boring or compromise on flavor! We’ve been lucky enough to try some of the products ahead of the event, and we can confirm they’re innovative, packed beautifully and taste delicious. You can try the products for yourself, ask questions and learn how you can be part of the positive change at the pop-up. And Berlin wouldn’t be Berlin if there wasn’t music to set the (good) mood, right? A live DJ set will create the right atmosphere throughout the day. Participation is free — so there’s no excuse not to stick to your resolutions throughout the year.
