The MONTHLY MEET-UP is a networking meeting for transnational artists who are new in Berlin. It offers the opportunity:
- to get advice on administrative questions relevant for your artistic work in Berlin (such as tax number, KSK (social security fund for artists) or visa issues),
- to meet members of Berlin’s culture institutions and get to know their work,
- to meet fellow artists and support each other.
The Meet-Up takes place on 25 November 2024 at 7 pm at ACUD MACHT NEU, Veteranenstraße 21, Berlin, Germany
It is a cooperation with the program GOETHE-INSTITUT IM EXIL. In many countries the Goethe-Institut like other cultural institutes had to be closed due to war or censorship. GOETHE-INSTITUT IM EXIL aims to create a space where artists can meet, exchange and discuss.
