Podewil
Klosterstr. 68, 10179 Berlin

Global crises, public funding cuts and precarious working conditions require more and more resilience from artists and cultural professionals. The importance of synergies, sharing skills and resources is well known. Many professionals are joining forces and the desire for networks to support each other is growing louder. However, artists and cultural practitioners who are new to Berlin often do not yet have a network and need to establish themselves here first.

At this networking event we want to share ideas on how artists and cultural professionals can strengthen each other through collective practice and how they can build their own community to support each other in order to become part of a resourceful network.

In a panel discussion we will discuss different aspects of collective practice – from support groups and one-on-one meetings to building and working in networks.

Afterwards, there will be an opportunity for further exchange in smaller sessions. 

This networking event is part of our event series “Get started! First steps in self-employment” in cooperation with touring artists. This series of online and offline events aims to provide aspiring freelancers with a roadmap to navigate the world of freelancing in Germany. In addition, we would like to provide you with helpful tips, good practice examples and connect you with other artists and creative professionals in Berlin.

The main entrance to Podewil is accessible via a ramp and an elevator. The back entrance can be reached via another ramp. Feel free to use the intercom to reach our reception team.
