Autumn sends us inside — into galleries, cinemas, and warm kitchens. It’s safe to say, things are getting cozy. How small can art be while still being noticed? Starting Thursday (06.11.2025), artburst berlin e.V. will explore this very question with Tiny Objects at Haus. Kunst. Mitte. Eight artistic positions shift the scale, focusing on the significance of the small. It’s a counter-concept to an art canon that often wants (or needs) to be bigger, louder, and more visible. Filiz Özçelik and others will be showing their small-scale works for ten days. Admission is free. If you prefer things a little cooler, head to Rummelsburg, where the contemplative season begins, Berlin-style, with strobe effects, danceable rhythms, and a colorful night sky. On Friday (07.11.), Forest Winterlights returns to Dark Matter. This time, Christoph Bauder’s Christmas trees are hanging indoors in the huge transformer hall. New this year: ice skate under the trees and lights. Skates are available on-site, but sneakers and boots are also allowed. At Mehfill on Saturday (08.11.), it’s all about eating together and feeling at home. Pakistani dishes are served, seasoned with spices, stories, and a sense of comfort. Until late in the evening, find a warm spot at U Bar with dishes such as “Cumin Comfort” (a potato dish with tamarind chutney) and “Auntie’s Warmth” (aromatic minced meat with green peas). Each comes with pickled red wine onions and fluffy flatbread. No reservation needed — walk in and welcome home. In Rotation (08.11.) also celebrates home, your own, that is. Back in Neukölln, the secondhand store hosts its opening party on Weserstraße with Miss T Delight and other DJs, free drinks, fashion, and new (old) neighbors.
Sunday (09.11.) is movie day! A cursed nun can only be saved by a black goat. Two Uyghur women drink and dream in Beijing. Indie Chinese Cinema Week presents a short film program titled (Re)writing Her Story at Moviemento. Five directors tell stories of work, friendship, resistance, and desire across five short films. Between China, Taiwan, and Nepal, a distinctive cinematic perspective emerges. Two favorite places, one day: Sofi and Copenhagen’s Atelier September join forces. On Sunday (09.11.), there’ll be a pop-up featuring selected dishes from Atelier September and new patisserie creations from Sofi. It’s the perfect reason to start the day early. Kick-off is at 08h30 at Sofi! Another creative alliance forms at the start of the week (10.11.) at Conceptual Conversations 12. There, versatile artists Lizzy Ellbrück and Louisa Raspé meet at Studio Tina Roeder. Their piece, Props Promising Prompts, emerges as a performative conversation composed of fragments, texts, and voices about language and the space between. The performance is accompanied by a script designed and published by Lukas Marstaller. A drink is included. I’m ready — let’s go inside and get the weekend started!
