EventActivities
STADT LAND SockenSCHUSS
DISTEL turns tensions between city and country into a German-language satire programme. Language is central to the jokes, so this is best suited to an audience comfortable following German on stage.
EventExhibitions
A change of scenery
Migration changes the way a city looks and the way its residents understand it. Ephraim-Palais explores those shifts through Berlin’s histories of arrival and change.
EventExhibitions
Glenn Ligon: Double America
Glenn Ligon’s Double America uses illuminated language and reflection to complicate a familiar national name. It is a focused encounter with the visual and political weight of a word.
EventExhibitions
Horizontal
A hospital bed changes both physical perspective and the balance of control. Horizontal takes that position as a starting point for looking at care and the experience of being a patient.
EventActivities
The Ades Zabel Company: Three Dragons on the Grill
Ades Zabel’s characters move into the world of a food truck in Mitte. The BKA production uses that setting for German-language character comedy and the tensions of a changing city.
EventExhibitions
Future Ceramics: table culture of the future
Ceramics are used to imagine future habits of eating and living. The exhibition treats designed objects as a way to test social possibilities, not just as finished pieces to admire.
EventExhibitions
The Opposite of Now
Twelve artistic projects mark the Jewish Museum’s anniversary through contemporary questions. Allow time for different voices and media rather than expecting a single historical narrative.
EventActivities
The Dark Side Of The Moon – The Planetarium Experience
Pink Floyd’s album becomes an audiovisual presentation inside the planetarium dome. This is an album-based immersive show, not a live appearance by Pink Floyd.
EventExhibitions
Club Culture Inventory Record
Objects from Berlin’s club culture become museum evidence. The exhibition asks what can be preserved from a scene whose meaning often depends on a particular room, crowd and night.
EventExhibitions
Generation 75 – Entering the New Germany at Age 14
Nine people recall being fourteen when the Berlin Wall fell. Their video accounts show how the same historical break entered different lives in East and West.
EventExhibitions
Plate Collection: Spray-Decorated Ceramics from the Collection of the Bröhan Museum
Spray decoration turns everyday ceramics into a study of colour and repeatable design. The Bröhan Museum’s collection provides the examples, including objects made for ordinary domestic use.

EventExhibitions
Michael Wesely. Doubleday in Prenzlauer Berg 1887–2026
Michael Wesely layers historical views of Prenzlauer Berg with present-day photographs. The overlaps make urban change visible within a single image rather than through a simple before-and-after pair.
EventExhibitions
CARRIE MAE WEEMS | The Heart of the Matter
Carrie Mae Weems’s retrospective brings together a practice concerned with power, representation and history. Give the exhibition enough time for the relationships between images to emerge.
EventExhibitions
Stelios Kallinikou . Cliffs Among Dreams
Stelios Kallinikou looks at the landscape around Akrotiri in Cyprus through photography and film. Ecology and the presence of military infrastructure occupy the same field of vision.
EventExhibitions
Susanne Kriemann. Butterflies flutter in my stomach in the heat of the sun
Susanne Kriemann’s photographs connect landscapes with the traces of uranium extraction. Sites in Saxony, Thuringia and Limousin place the environmental story across national borders.
EventExhibitions
Amnon David Ar
Amnon David Ar’s paintings are presented in dialogue with the world of Kurt Mühlenhaupt. Everyday subjects provide a point of contact between different artistic perspectives.
EventExhibitions
everybody
The body becomes a meeting point for questions of identity and social expectation. The Georg Kolbe Museum provides a setting where those contemporary questions sit alongside a sculptural legacy.
EventExhibitions
Experiment and Stubbornness
Graduation work recognised through the Mart Stam prize comes together at the Zitadelle. Compare how young designers and artists turn individual research into a public presentation.
EventExhibitions
PEACEFUL PENETRATION – Germans in Angola
The exhibition examines German involvement in Angola through contemporary artistic perspectives. Mussunda Nzombo and Bruno Fonseca are among the voices addressing the colonial history.
EventExhibitions
Pearls and Hooks
Laura Bruce moves between recognisable figures and abstract structures. Pearls and Hooks gives that shifting relationship room to develop across the exhibition.
EventExhibitions
A Still, Windless Night
Ewa Finn and Katharina Poos bring painting into a shared exhibition at the Zitadelle. Look for the conversation between their approaches rather than treating the two positions as separate stops.
EventExhibitions
If Animals Could Talk
Funda Özgünaydin’s collages use animals to approach questions that also concern people. The title offers a useful starting point for considering who is allowed to speak within an image.
