This weekend, we’ll be following the loud and colorful — here are our tips. At Renate, there will be mixed beats for a good cause with a new edition of Rise Nights — bringing together DJs from different genres and musical backgrounds in the Berlin club. In addition to their work at the mixing desk, artists such as Juba and Ophélie are involved in charity projects and non-profit collectives. This Thursday (15.05.2025) they will be manning the decks with Baile Funk, Afrotech, Hard Drum and other fluid sounds. All profits go towards the Rise Foundation Berlin, which supports homeless people in Berlin. If you’re strolling along Torstraße, stop off at Eigen + Art Lab, where you’ll find shells and poppies floating on colorful, shimmering surfaces. Artist Marius Glauer transforms photography into installation and sculpture in his solo exhibition. The exhibition corresponds to “Marius Glauer. Wait a Minute” at the Francisco Carolinum Linz, which can be viewed until July 27. The opening on Thursday (15.05.) will be followed up with the presentation of the book “Wait a Minute” and a talk with the artist and the curators of the exhibition on Saturday (17.05.). Between Kottbusser Tor and Görlitzer Bahnhof, other creatives will come together: Heart To Find is planning a pop-up this Saturday (17.05.) combining sustainability and analog music culture. The vintage store will celebrate independent brands, upcycling projects, vinyl and art installations — an exciting niche!
Yuue is also creating space for creatives. The design studio with a love of everyday objects will host a pre-summer open studio in Prenzlauer Berg on Saturday and Sunday (17.-18.05.2025). In addition to their latest products and models, they’ll give insights into their working process to create an accessible exhibition – and open space for inspiration. Soi&Co will serve matching designs in cake form, special teas and free drinks! On another corner in Prenzlauer Berg, the season of backyard flea markets begins. Original Feelings Studio welcomes you to their Fleamarket on Sunday (18.05.)in their sunny backyard. The yoga studio has scoured its community and creative networks for textile treasures for its rails. Browse through their second-hand collection at a leisurely pace with fresh coffee and pastries, and enjoy the day in the sun. If you’d like more art this weekend, it will get under your skin (and in the stomach) at Atelier Sud on Sunday (18.05.). Taktil Berlin‘s round pastries are as wonderfully upbeat as the title Summer Bagels & Tiny Tattoos sounds. And what Laura Hanowski spreads on them is inspired by her grandmother’s chutneys, jams and pickled vegetables. There’s also fresh lemonade and small works of art for your summer skin, precisely crafted by Small Size Fineline Tattoos.
