As Berlin celebrates the 34th anniversary of German Wiedervereinigung, over antique vendors from all over the country will make their way to the old trotting racetrack in Karlshorst for a special holiday edition of their monthly antique market. Merchants will offer a sheer endless variety of vintage furniture, art, books and vinyls. The kid-friendly entertainment program makes this a perfect destination for a blissful family outing on German Unity Day.
Once a year on German Unity Day, many Mosques throughout the city open their doors to curious Berliners, offering guided tours, exhibitions, lectures and most importantly, an opportunity to get to know each other in a relaxed, neighbourly atmosphere. We hate to break it to you, but the whole bohemian mattress-on-the-floor thing is just not the vibe anymore. So put on your big boy pants and head over to Trabrennbahn Karlshorst for their 12th annual Designbörse — interior design exhibition and vintage furniture sale extraordinaire.
Who knows, they might even have a bedframe for you. Proving that art can indeed inspire change, this indie film festival showcases movies addressing human rights issues around the world. Alongside the film screenings, the program also includes panels and opportunities for visitors to take action themselves. Yes, Berlin autumns are dark and full of terror but these annual art installations — illuminating iconic landmarks throughout the city — have been a beacon of light, so to speak.
The most impressive projections can usually be spotted on Bebelplatz in Mitte. If early Sunday morning flea markets have never really been your thing, this unique late-night rooftop event is a great opportunity for some leisurely second-hand shopping without losing sleep. Organised by an alliance of local artists and social workers, this Neukölln arts parade seeks to raise awareness for environmental protection and climate justice.
March along this weekend or check out their website for various arts and crafts workshops prior to the big day. Just a reminder that Museum Sunday is still a thing. Highlighting traditional Korean crafts and culture, this arts fair is a plattform for artists, galleries, collectors and art lovers to connect through workshops and exhibitions on Korean ceramics, textile art and lacquerware.
Over the course of this bedazzling four-hour queer marathon concert, musical collaborators Taylor Mac and Matt Ray are performing a whopping 55 songs on stage — one for each year since the first queer Pride Parade in Up-and-coming Berlin photographer Lukas Städler captures gay cruising in all its usually overlooked tenderness and fragility.
Staging parks and urban spots as romantic places of human encounter, the exhibition reframes cruising as joyful, intimate and deeply poetic.
