You better watch out so you don’t miss anything this weekend. Poetry Meets kicks off with the Togetherness Fest, which celebrates its tenth anniversary tonight (05.12.2024) at Heimathafen Neukölln. The international platform for community poetry, music and short film events will open the festival with saxophonist Cassie Kinoshi and dancer Black Pearlaccompanied by the Poetry Meets house band. The main acts will be the French-Cameroonian sister duo Les Nubians and the Belgian-Congolese multi-talent Baloji. Another highlight will be an exclusive film premiere. This weekend, the German Westerwald and Kyoto will meet in the Klub Maison space. Viola Beuscher and her small team work passionately with stoneware clay to create functional and durable pieces to enrich our tables and everyday lives. This Saturday (07.12.), the ceramist is leaving her studio in Frankfurt am Main to present her handmade tableware in Berlin, and to introduce us to her Matcha ritual. In collaboration with Matchasome, she has created a limited number of lovely matcha sets in pink and purple, the perfect contrast to Matcha green. Matchasome will take care of the velvety-sweet matcha from Kyoto’s Uji region as well as the tasting during the pop-up with their in-house specials.
On Friday and Saturday (06.-07.12.) immerse yourself in an intense fragrance experience with Raer Scents. The perfume house for handmade botanical fragrances will open its doors for its first Archive Sale. This weekend, try the house’s perfumes, collaborations and exclusive editions with a drink in hand. Prum will be open all weekend with a store showroom, which has been open since Tuesday (03.12.). Anna Tunikova’s Berlin jewelry label is the perfect place to go if you are still looking for Christmas gifts for your loved ones. The handmade pearl necklaces, bracelets and accessories made from various minerals await you in Berlin Mitte until this Sunday (08.12.). Marktlokal and Berlin Food Stories are teaming up for a Swedish Christmas Bonanza this Advent Sunday (08.12.). Together they will bring the Christmas spirit from the far north to Kreuzberg: pickled herring, Köttbullar and succulent Prinskorv will fill the tables at Marktlokal under the guidance of Swedish chefs Björn & Basil. For the full Christmas experience with secret treats, Xmas raffle and live singing, book your place via DM to BFS. For the grand finale of the second Advent, Platte Berlin and Title are bringing their design communities together for an Archive Market Christmas Edition. Homefullofclothes, Fashionfouvintage and other brands will join the fashionable get-together at the Platte Concept Space on Sunday (08.12.). Throughout the day, browse unique pieces over mulled wine and cinnamon buns and support the Kältebus Berlin with your purchase.
