A heartfelt ❤️ thank you to everyone who joined us in celebrating EMOP (@emopberlin) with Feli & Pepita (@feliandpepita), Igor Mitchnik (@igmit_3o), Austausch e.V. (@austauschorg) as well as our community members during Half King Fundraiser & Vernissage IN MY ROOM exhibition. From the powerful insights shared during the discussion to the eclectic DJ set / performance by @disco.robics, your presence made this event truly special!! 🎉 During the exhibition, the quotes from the youth on the walls and the deeply personal stories of IN MY ROOM left a lasting impression, taking us back to the emotions of the pandemic and the realities of growing up in uncertain times. One audience member shared their experience of the brutal day-to-day life in her war-affected country, a place they will soon return to. Their words created a space for reflection, reminding us of the hardships so many endure and how fortunate we are to live in relative peace.🤘 This evening also marked the beginning of our efforts to revive the Half King Photography Series (@annavanlenten), a project dedicated to fearless documentary photography on urgent global issues. With Berlin’s cultural funding under threat, independent initiatives like ours need your personal support more than ever. If you have the means and a few minutes, please consider making a donation to help sustain our work: 💶https://gofund.me/a4b607ba. Each donation will directly help bring an artist’s work from the Global South to Berlin to showcase their work. Thank you for standing with us in championing art, youth, and global perspectives. Let’s keep the conversation going! 💡📷✨ #INMYROOM #EMOPBerlin #FeliAndPepita #HalfKingPhotography ##DISCOROBICS #ZeitgeistZentrum #ArtAndActivism #CulturalDialogue #AustauschEV 💞 Special thanks to : @feliandpepita @disco.robics @austauschorg @emopberlin @fraulein.le @planschekuh @igmit_3o 💞 Photo credit: @tom.h.w.sauer @red.biplane
A glimpse behind the scenes as we install IN MY ROOM by @feliandpepita. Join us tomorrow for the vernissage! 🎉📸
Half King Fundraiser & Vernissage IN MY ROOM - by Feli & Pepita Vernissage: Saturday 01 March 2025 18:00 - Opening & book launch 19:30 - Q&A with the artists & Austausch e.V. 20:30 - Performance & DJ Set Venue: Zeitgeist Zentrum | Cornelius-Fredericks-Str. 7 Exhibition: 1st - 12th March 2025 Visiting Hours: Monday - Friday 14:00 - 18:00 In celebration of EMOP, we invite you to an evening with Feli & Pepita @feliandpepita, a German artist duo exploring childhood, adolescence, and identity. Their series IN MY ROOM offers a powerful glimpse into the perspectives of 38 young people from 10 Black Sea countries. Moderated by Igor Mitchnik @igmit_3o from Austausch e.V. @austauschorg, the event features a book launch, open discussion with the artists, followed by a performance & DJ set by @disco.robics. This vernissage marks the launch of our fundraising efforts to revive the Half King Photography Series in Berlin. Originally curated by Anna Van Lenten @annavanlenten in NYC, the series showcased fearless documentary photography addressing critical social and environmental issues. Our revival will feature international photographers exploring topics like environmental crises in Morocco and Indigenous identities in Ecuador. With Berlin’s new government slashing cultural funding, independent initiatives like ours are more crucial than ever. Your attendance and donation will help us bring international artists to Berlin, ensuring their voices remain heard while keeping this work bold, uncompromised, and urgent. #zeitgeistzentrum #FeliAndPepita #DISCOROBICS #EMOP2025 #DocumentaryPhotography #PhotographyForChange #ArtAndActivism #CulturalDialogue #AustauschEV #ReviveHalfKingPhotography
