Berliner Zeitgeist
Berliner Zeitgeist is a project that explores the ideas, stories and initiatives around the fall of the Berlin Wall.
Berlin Zeitgeist is project inspired by last year’s event “When the Wall came Down” marking the Fall of the Berlin Wall. “When the Wall came Down” was an evening of presentations, music, film, food, conversations and performance. Hosted by Uta Baldauf and Katharina Child in Atelier.
This event inspired the idea to make a programme for this year’s 30’s anniversary. Jo Leahy from the SVA joined the conversation and started planning a research trip to Berlin. All this sparked various conversations and Charles Landry became involved, bringing his Berlin cultural contacts with us. We shared our idea with Stroud groups and individuals whom are now taking part in the varied autumn programme for 2019.

Berliner Zeitgeist in Stroud - meet 5 legendary creative entrepreneurs from Berlin
Can we as a creative town learn from a creative city?
We invite you to an evening of talks and conversations with Berlin’s current art and culture figures.
Hosted by Charles Landry an international author and thinker around creative cities, Jo Leahy from SVA, Kath Child from Atelier and Uta Baldauf a German born Stroud artist.
Meet five Berliners who have helped shape contemporary Berlin. This event is part of our upcoming programme to celebrate the 30th year anniversary of the fall of the Berlin wall and is also connected to our current 'Creative Spaces Creating Communities' series.
Anke Fesel and Chris Keller, photographers, whose Berlin Wonderland documents the visionaries, techno parties, art galleries and riots that made Berlin a magnet.
Dimitri Hegemann who founded the famous techno club Tresor that with Berghain represents the pulse of Berlin and whose campaign 'Happy Locals' seeks to energize smaller towns.
Two recent changemakers are Ania Pilipenko, who heads the co-operative for Holzmarkt a large unusual riverside development and Robin Schellenberg, co-founder of Klunkerkranich, the rooftop club, with one Berlin's best views, that transforms during the day from a family gathering place into an evening club that helped revitalize Neukoelln.
This evening gives us a unique opportunity to investigate how can we as a small town can draw parallels and embrace our own opportunity to create something unique?
After the talks there will be live music and food will be served (including in ticket price). The bar will be open for drinks.
