EXHIBITION
Kiez Blick Berlin – Us and the City
The exhibition showcases comics by children who present a very personal and surprising perspective on the city of Berlin. In works created during workshops with Nadia Budde, children freely and spontaneously expressed their own feelings about their neighbourhood. They were supported in this by students from Humboldt University.
MUSIC
Concert with Dominik Merscheid
Life-affirming, funny and yet profound children’s songs – whether they’re about yawning boredom, a promising message in a bottle or life’s big questions. A groovy concert experience to sing along to, bop along to and join in with – for everyone who loves handmade, acoustic music with clever lyrics.
COMIC WORKSHOP & MORE AT STUDIO BITTERFELD
with Marion Goedelt, Lisa Rock and guest Marita Kelbl from Prague
Open comic workshop for young and old, featuring an exhibition, a bookstall and delicious vegan waffles.
ALL-DAY ACTIVITIES
