After several years as a nomadic curatorial and research collective, KÜSSE Berlin now enters a new chapter. During Summer-Autumn 2025, the initiative inaugurated its first physical space in the heart of Kreuzberg with a solo exhibition by Karlotta Susanna Pöschko, opening a dynamic program of cultural events, workshops, and lectures.

KÜSSE Berlin is conceived as an ephemeral concept space, a hybrid between art gallery and retail shop where contemporary art, design, and publishing converge. Distributed across two floors, the space juxtaposes exhibitions with curated selections of books, zines, artworks, and archival or second-hand pieces. KÜSSE Berlin reimagines the traditional gallery model by encouraging dialogue and active engagement with the works on display.

    🗺️ Mapping your inner space: A DIY emotion cartography workshop
    ✨ free / donation-based

    What does your inner landscape look like? Which colours carry your memories? Which corners feel like home?

    Join us for an intimate afternoon of visual introspection. You’ll be gently guided to draw your own inner map, not for others, not to impress, just for yourself. No artistic skills needed. Just bring your feelings, your memories, your metaphors. All materials are provided, and the space will be soft, quiet, and welcoming.

    Echoes & Confidences: a collective reading circle
    ✨ free / donation-based

    Led by KÜSSE Berlin’s founder Mathilde Castaignède, and writer-poet Arthur Simonnet, this intimate evening invites you to read, listen, and share fragments of vulnerability. Bring a short text: it can be a journal entry, a letter, a poem, or a personal reflection.

    You’re also welcome to come only to listen. We’ll open with an introduction to Karlotta Susanna Pöschko’s exhibition, shared readings and collective conversation, all held in a warm, respectful and welcoming circle
