OPEN HOUSE –
C/O Berlin Birthday Special

C/O Berlin turns 25 – and we’re celebrating with you! As the highlight of our birthday year, we warmly invite you to our Open House. Enjoy free admission and a vibrant program featuring music, art, film, and special activities.

On the lineup: music by DJ femdelic, Express Tours through the history of the Amerika Haus and C/O Berlin, and a Live Act by Sera Kalo’s eXante. In the evening, we will present two open-air films as part of the exhibition Julian Rosefeldt . Nothing is Original together with Mobile Kino: the award-winning film Manifesto (2016) and the accompanying documentary Making Manifesto (2018). Before the screening, you'll also have the chance to meet Julian Rosefeldt in person at the Book Signing of his newly released exhibition publication.

The exhibitions will stay open until midnight on this day. Cool drinks and delicious ice cream will be served by the Paradieschen Bar. And it's worth taking a closer look: whoever finds the special ice cream stick will win an annual ticket for C/O Berlin (first come, first serve). Good luck!
