September 18-24: THE NIGHT MARKET, Pantopia Festival, Vegan Sundays, and More!
Our first Singles Event & List of things to do in Berlin, week of September 18, 2023!
We had our first Singles Event this weekend, which was a walking tour of Berlin's Street Art Scene led by Tina (She was great! You can hire her services for your company's team-building events!). Personally, I had a lot of fun learning new things about Berlin. Every day, we miss many great things around us because we don't stop to look!
By the way, do you know what "1UP" stands for? I do know now!

1. ZSÓFIA KERESZTES - IN ETHYLENE ARMS
Hungarian artist Zsófia Keresztes specializes in crafting sizable sculptures and installations by blending various materials that oscillate between the digital and tangible domains. This is her first solo exhibition with KÖNIG GALERI. Her art is often in soft colors like light blue, beige, coral, and pink, which makes it seem like a mix of real and make-believe. Keresztes skillfully puts different shapes together in complex patterns, full of interesting ideas and bold structures. More info.

African Beats & Pieces | Fast & Curious
The event series "African Beats & Pieces" is experimenting with a new concept: the music's tempo will accelerate throughout the night, increasing by 10 BPM per hour. To achieve this, we've curated a lineup of different DJs, each assigned to an hour, whose style and selections match the changing tempo. "African Beats & Pieces" has been an ongoing event series in Berlin since 2017, dedicated to showcasing music from Africa, with a focus on lesser-known artists. More info.
Cost: €12-15
Date: 23 Sept (Sat) / 22:00 - 5:00 am
