WINTER MARKETS PART I — SUPPORT LOCAL DESIGNERS & CURATORS THIS CHRISTMAS

December is the season for glühwein, Christmas decorations, and Winter markets! As the temperature drops, there’s nothing Berliners need more than cosy indoor activities to stay warm and inspired. We’ve compiled a list of the best Winter markets happening in Berlin this weekend (01.–03.12.2023). It’s all happening in Kreuzberg. Studio Linné’s Holiday Market will be showcasing the work of Berlin-based designers and curators. With designer fashion, vintage, glassware, knitwear, and so much more, this is one market not to be missed. Stop by on Friday evening (01.12.) to catch DJ sets by Refuge Worldwide. Avoid the last-minute stress and get your Holiday shopping in early at Helka Ceramnics Gift Shop. Shop Helka’s handmade dinnerware and ceramic objects, Sac Objects knitted creations using deadstock materials, and Oni Studio recycled silver and gold jewellery. DAMV Architektur is transforming its office space to host the DAMV Design Shop Xmas Edition. Discover interior design objects, ceramics, and fashion accessories. You’ll also get the opportunity to mingle with local creatives while enjoying a glühwein or steamy apple punch. If you’re not shopped off your feet yet, head over to Mitte where SNS Berlin is hosting a local creative market, Stuff, in their basement. It’s safe to say you’ll be able to get a good chunk of your Holiday shopping done here. Plus you can treat yourself on the day with a new tattoo, tooth gem, flowers or manicure. Next, stop by Pop Up Culture for a curated selection of designer and archive fashion. Expect timeless designer pieces, iconic labels, rare archive fashion finds, and selected 90s and 00s collections. Over in Friedrichshain “berlin, textile coop.” is hosting its first edition of its Design Christmas Market. Discover textiles from Panorama Fabrics, Jasmin Viola Sermonet, Jukka Samuli Herttua, and more.

FIND SOMETHING NICE AND DO SOMETHING GOOD: VOO STORE X OPERNDORF AFRIKA CHARITY MARKET

FIND SOMETHING NICE AND DO SOMETHING GOOD: VOO STORE X OPERNDORF AFRIKA CHARITY MARKET

In the middle of Kreuzberg, in the backyard of Oranienstraße, you will find the concept store Voo, which has been open for 13 years now, and right next to (or rather in front of) the fashion hotspot, VooSpace recently opened its doors as an exhibition and event space. On 24. and 25.11.2023, the second edition of the Charity Market for the benefit of Opendorf Africa will take place: From donated new goods from more than 40 labels, ready-to-wear pieces from 032c, Closed, Kasia Kucharska and Paloma Wool, among others, to sneakers and accessories, interior pieces, beauty products from Aesop and L:a Bruket as well as overnight stays at Raus or The Hoxton – at up to 30 percent off. The goal is clearly defined: to raise a large sum of money for Operndorf! All proceeds will go directly to the organization’s projects in Burkina Faso, West Africa. Founded by artist Christoph Schlingensief in 2009, Operndorf in Burkina Faso is a local charity that is now largely managed by his wife, Aino Laberenz. True to its guiding principle of “Learning from Africa”, the art and education project offers a platform for cultural exchange and post-colonial discourse in order to present a differentiated image of Africa.

To date, an elementary school, an infirmary and residences for international artists have been created in the space provided by the Burkinabe government, around 30 kilometers from Burkina Faso’s capital Ouagadougou. Nigerian-Italian artist Diana Ejata is also exploring her own African heritage and the revival of African aesthetics as part of the “Art in Residence” program at Operndorf, donating 100 limited edition prints for you to get your hands on. All accompanied by MoschxAries’ pop-up bar and DJ sets from Alex Huber and Alyssa & Gia. So it doesn’t matter whether you end up going home with or without a bargain Highsnobiety sweater or whether you simply make a donation: Stopping by means showing support.

DISCOVER BOOKS THAT CHANGE YOUR LIFE AT THE APARTAMENTO MAGAZINE BOOK POP-UP — RECOMMENDED BY FREDDY KORNFELD

DISCOVER BOOKS THAT CHANGE YOUR LIFE AT THE APARTAMENTO MAGAZINE BOOK POP-UP — RECOMMENDED BY FREDDY KORNFELD

As a gallery owner, I am a great lover of art and books. So this week is a very special one for me: Yesterday (22.11.2023) a bookstore opened in Berlin – for just four weeks. Here you’ll find books that reflect and discuss the zeitgeist, as well as classics and forgotten treasures. The store is presented by the great magazine Apartamento, which provides tongue-in-cheek insights into the homes of special people, artists and personalities. You might discover that even some of these much-admired people don’t always hang up their towel after a shower or clear away their plates after breakfast or dinner. It’s wonderfully authentic and far removed from the coolness of glossy magazines. Maybe the trio Nacho Alegre, Omar Sosa and Marco Velardi will come to our artists’ booth and the 69salon by Kornfeld sometime … We’re excited and won’t be doing any extra cleaning, we promise! All book lovers can browse through the Apartamento Studio until 22.12. Incidentally, the store was designed by architect Sam Chermayeff and looks pretty hip with a silver bed and a rubber curtain that looks like milk.

Freddy Kornfeld is a Charlottenburg gallery icon with three spaces on Fasanenstraße: Kornfeld Galerie Berlin, 68projects and 69salon. He opened new exhibitions with Tammam Azzam, Philip Grözinger and Stefan Rinck on Saturday (18.11.2023).

BOOK SHOPPING AT LITERATURENSOHN IN BRUNNENSTRASSE — RECOMMENDED BY VERENA SCHWARZ

BOOK SHOPPING AT LITERATURENSOHN IN BRUNNENSTRASSE — RECOMMENDED BY VERENA SCHWARZ

Reading can provide a much-needed break from digital doom scrolling. The only question is: what to read? Literaturensohn offers help! In September, Coco Meurer brought her eponymous Instagram account to Brunnenstaße. Only books she has herself read make it onto the shelf here. Curation. Curation. Curation. Since 2020, the book enthusiast has been recommending works by young, fierce, strong and female voices on her channel. She has developed three categories for her recommendations – from light holiday reads to philosophical hunks. Coco has now moved to Brunnenstrasse. And because she loves not just books, but creative work in all its forms, the shop regularly hosts events with creative partners. A workshop with crochet artist Mimo from Amigurumimo, whose cute figurines are also sold in the store, was fully booked in just a few minutes. In January, the Cologne-based Ben Tausend Tattoos will make a guest appearance. And if you’re planning to launch a novel, with her creative office, Coco also develops outstanding digital campaigns, covers and artworks. Literaturensohn is really worth a visit, even if your pile of books is already stacked high…

Verena Schwarz has been in charge of communications for international companies for many years, most recently for furniture brands. She also has a strong passion for culture and sport in all its forms.

AN URGENT LOOK AT THE IMAGES OF THE WORLD — THE POSTER LABEL “FROM” LAUNCHES ITS FIRST EDITION AT HOPSCOTCH READING ROOM

AN URGENT LOOK AT THE IMAGES OF THE WORLD — THE POSTER LABEL “FROM” LAUNCHES ITS FIRST EDITION AT HOPSCOTCH READING ROOM

If you look at the large-format prints by photographer Johanna-Maria Fritz, to be installed in the Hopscotch Reading Room in Schöneberg on 23.11.23, you’ll see beige, sand, and dust. You’ll feel texture, warmth, and shadow. You’ll feel wonder, awe, curiosity. Perhaps you’ll ponder and ask yourself: What is a story? The things we tell or the things we leave out? What is memory? Narration? Document? Testimony? What is true? What is real? What is beautiful? And what does all this mean in a time when images are racing, and the news is pushing when everything is available every second and yet forgotten as soon as we click on it? Marie-Kristin Thiele, creative director and founder of the poster label From, must have had this and more on her mind when she first came across the work of the Ostkreuz graduate, who lives between Berlin and the Middle East, and invited her to open her newly founded poster project, which will now launch high-quality art poster editions at regular intervals. Thiele finds the motifs for this in existing documentary archives, always looking for outtakes “that are too subtle, too blatant or simply too beautiful” to have made it into a previous publication.

Aesthetics and authenticity manifested in curated prints and images that tell stories. The motifs by Johanna-Maria Fritz, which will be launched next Thursday, tell this story: The sculptor Jumua al-Hamu from Rakka, Syria, buried his art in the ground during the rule of the Islamic State: under Sharia law, any art was forbidden. Now that the jihadists have been driven out and despite corruption, mistrust, and the risk of renewed fighting, his art is returning to the light of day. And perhaps now in the living rooms of Berliners or under the Christmas trees of their loved ones. Incidentally, part of the proceeds will go directly to al-Hamu. In the spirit of the project. Or as Thiele says: “From connects us with the world. With real pictures and true stories.”
