Ever wondered what it's like to view art while upside down? Inspired by the natural world—plants, animals, the sun, and the sky—yoga encourages us to break free from fixed ideas and open ourselves to fresh perspectives. In this one-hour workshop, we’ll explore Rohini Devasher’s art, which is deeply connected to astronomy and philosophy, while the yoga practice itself will focus on balancing body and mind. By the end of the yoga flow, you will have the opportunity to focus on your individual desires and translate them into abstract patterns by painting your personal neuro-wish.

Led by yoga instructor Tamara and neuroart specialist Ella, this session will be held in the heart of the exhibition Borrowed Light and is open to everyone, regardless of experience. Please bring comfortable clothes, and your own yoga mat!

Cost: 15€. Limited capacity. You can obtain a ticket here.

Rohini Devasher has been fascinated by the night sky since her childhood, and her passion for science fiction novels and films remains strong to this day. She is particularly inspired by the creative freedom and new perspectives of the genre, which are also reflected in her own artwork: the creation of new worlds beyond the Anthropocene – worlds that are both wonderful and strange, eerie and unfamiliar. In her lecture, Dr. Isabella Hermann, political scientist and science fiction expert, will explore the infinite possibilities within the fictional worlds of this genre and demonstrate how science fiction influence our perception of the world.

Berlin's literary scene is on the move: traditional publishing houses have returned to the city, and numerous new publishers have emerged. We want to dedicate a special event format at the PalaisPopulaire to both: "Writers’ Stage – New Literature from Berlin." Katharina von Uslar and Edgar Rai select the most exciting voices from the latest publishing programs, introduce the authors, and discuss their new novels with them. At the same time, Berlin publishers have the opportunity to present their “favorites” in conversation with the audience.

In cooperation with the Uslar & Rai bookstore
