French Impressionism, photography, and modern art
Agenda Edition #19 / 06.09 - 08.09 / Current mood: Art party
Hi, and welcome back to agenda - got plans?, a newsletter featuring a curated selection of art, design, and fashion events in Berlin. I'm Kate, a freelance journalist, Berlin local, and art lover. I hope my newsletter makes it a bit easier for you to navigate everything this city has to offer.
How are you? I just spent a few days in France, surrounded by cows and corn, and I was thinking about this newsletter and ways to mix it up a little bit. If you have any feedback, I would be more than happy to hear it.
That said, I’m very much looking forward to the weekend, which, like the rest of the month, seems to be all about art. Here are some events I recommend checking out:
Attend a vernissage on Friday
View a political photo exhibition on Saturday
Enjoy French Impressionism on Sunday
Join an art party on Tuesday
#1 Exhibition Openings on Friday Night
Start the weekend with a cute little vernissage on Friday night. There are several to choose from: Check out Galerie Barbara Thumm (Öffnet in neuem Fenster) for Nigerian artist Elyla’s installation and multimedia work, visit Future Gallery (Öffnet in neuem Fenster) for exhibitions by ultra-contemporary artist Zigsen Liu and multidisciplinary artist Edgar Cobián, or explore the paintings of Berlin-based artist Alex Müller at Galerie Haverkampf Leistenschneider.

#3 Hidden-Ninety | Photo exhibition
Hidden-Ninety by photographers Sophia Emmerich (Öffnet in neuem Fenster) and Lisa Kempke (Öffnet in neuem Fenster)is a photo series highlighting the high number of unreported anti-queer crimes. This project aims to visualize the troubling "dark figure" of anti-queer crimes—those that remain hidden. The photo exhibition is part of the diverse Sommermünze program at Alte Münze, so you can easily spend the whole weekend there!
