Spring is here and nature is awakening! Now the flowers are blooming, the birds are singing, and the sky is a beautiful blue.

Artists work with many different materials to create art, for example with paint, clay, paper, or wood. Everyone has their own ideas and uses materials in a very special way. But did you know that you don't always have to buy new things for art? We can protect our world and create sustainable art by using what's already there: for example, cardboard from an old box. Or materials can find an alternative use. In our current exhibition, for example, the artist Evelyn Taocheng Wang used a little tea for her artwork.

Get creative and make your own art that no one has ever made before!

It is Gallery Weekend in Berlin. All over the city, there is art to discover, and many people visit one gallery after another.

We are showing and presenting a special artwork by the artist Nevin Aladag this weekend: a large metal sculpture, the "Public Resonator." A resonator helps to make the sound stronger and clearer, like the wooden body of a guitar, which then produces the tone. At first glance, the sculpture rests completely still. When we get closer and touch it, it changes and produces different sounds.

Is it possible to learn something and have fun at the same time? Today you will experience exactly that through this fantastic sculpture. You only need to sharpen your eyes, hands, and ears.

Normally, we see words in books and texts, with images, we look at color, people, or objects. However, in our exhibition we try something new: we look at signs and symbols and read images. Artworks can be "read" to discover hidden signs and symbols within them.

Art can show us where people come from and how they are connected to each other. The artist Shirin Neshat asks exciting questions like: Who are you? How did you get here? In her photographic works, she combines powerful images with emotional texts.

But how do you actually understand pictures? Why can they say so much, even without words?

Calligraphy means "beautiful writing": letters are designed with particular care and artistry, almost like small drawings. They look different from those in printed books or on a computer.

For the artist Etel Adnan, writing and art are closely intertwined. She often placed words, symbols, or short texts on paper like pictures. For her, it's not just about what the words mean, but also about how they look. One can read and view her works. Writing is not just for reading: it can also be something to admire like a picture: words can look like shapes or patterns.

What would it look like to you? This Sunday, discover your own creative writing style!
