We’re heading out of town and back, with our CC Calendar tips spanning from Uckermark to Mitte, from screen printing to urban development. Kicking things off is the Um Festival (06.–07.09.2025) in Uckermark, dedicating its ninth edition to the theme water. Between Fergitz, Pinnow, and Wrietzensee, nature becomes a stage for performances, sculptures, concerts, readings, and DJ sets — featuring Annett Gröschner, Thomas Fehlmann, the UmTon Choir, and Gudrun Gut, among others. It will be a weekend of art, music, and literature that utilizes local infrastructure such as greenhouses, fire stations, and open fields. If you’re traveling from Berlin, it’s worth leaving early. Back in the city, the Frizzante Festival(05.–07.09.2025) celebrates its premiere on the grounds of St. Elisabeth Church in Mitte — curated by tipBerlin and Viani. Over 50 producers from all over Italy, from Sardinia to South Tyrol, bring artisan foods and wines to taste, discuss, and buy. The event is accompanied by talks on olive oil, Lambrusco, and food design, as well as music from DJ Andrea and the tenor duo Luca e Rapha. The aperitivo on Friday evening is free, but tickets are required on Saturday and Sunday.
Meanwhile, the Cakes & Zines Festival (06.09.2025) invites you to browse, swap, and read at the Dragonerareal. Cosmo Bauer will be there to present his new poster and his TS Sm*t Zine. On Sunday (07.09.2025), it’s all about solidarity with live screen printing, bring your own textiles and have them printed on-site in exchange for a donation. Proceeds will go to Aria’s fundraiser to finance gender reassignment surgery. Starting on Tuesday (09.09.2025), Andreas Murkudis will host an exhibition by French fashion brand Carven. Not only will the new FW25 Pre-Collection be on display, but also works by three female artists: sculptural objects by Kalou Dubus, furniture by Atelier Leymarie, and a sustainable textile installation by Natural Material Studio. To close the week, Architangle invites you to a book presentation on Wednesday (11.09.2025) entitled Saudi Modern: Jeddah in Transition 1938–1964. Published by the Saudi architectural firm Bricklab, the volume documents the transformation of the port city Jeddah after the discovery of oil, between the push for modernization and the loss of architectural heritage. The event opens up new perspectives on urban development in global contexts. Days between land and city, design and community, and an eye for the big picture in the details.
