“Misery and Chaos are Reigning” – Criolo’s Boca de Lobo Tour

by
1857GICR_003_0374

“There is no love in SP / The bars are full of empty souls / The greediness vibrates, the vanity excites.” The lyrics above are about São Paulo, my hometown, but ironically I saw Criolo for the first time in Berlin. This song was released in 2011. Listening to it again, I realise that unfortunately, … Read more “Misery and Chaos are Reigning” – Criolo’s Boca de Lobo Tour

Yoga for All: How Berlin Yoga Conference is Democratizing the Practice

by
Anastasia_Alessandro-Sigismondi

Is yoga the cure for all Berlin’s vices? Berlin Yoga Conference 2019 believes so. A year ago, I attended a pop-up event giving a small sample of what Berlin Yoga Conference would offer. Back then, I had a lovely chat with Anastasia Shevchenko about how non-yoga fans could actually join the event, which would take … Read more Yoga for All: How Berlin Yoga Conference is Democratizing the Practice

Lilipad’s Charity Summer Fest is happening this Saturday. Have fun whilst doing a world of good. Summer has been really hard on us.

And next thing we know, it’s … Read more Partying for Charity this Saturday: Lilipad’s Summer Fest

When I first met Sanni Est I thought she was just another Brazilian girl, who like me, for some reason ended up in Berlin. Later, when I got to know her better, I came to discover that in fact, she is another Brazilian girl but with a slightly different background: she is transgender. Sanni came … Read more Sanni Est: Look What Your Love Has Done to Me

Berlin Yoga Conference 2019 is three days of Yoga enlightenment. The preview event is on May 12th. When I first heard about Yoga, I was just a teenager.

Bixa Travesty: A Glimpse Into Brazilian Transvestism

by
Bixa_Travesty_1

“Brazil is the country that kills most transvestites and transsexuals in the world.” “The life expectancy of these people is 35 years old, less than half of national average of 75. So, it’s difficult to understand that Brazil leads the search ranking for trans people on RedTube.” – Claudia Priscilla and Kiko Goiffman, directors of … Read more Bixa Travesty: A Glimpse Into Brazilian Transvestism

I met Sara the same way many Berliners meet: whilst partying. We added each other on Facebook and casually met from time to time (“Spontaneously”, as Germans love to say), and then, to my surprise, her Lilipad project popped up in my Facebook feed. Lilipad is a non-profit project that aims to set up libraries … Read more Lilipad Is After Our Old Children’s Books (Because Some Kids Need Them More)

But, I always try to know more about what’s happening in the Berlin art scene. That’s how Digital_Luv, from the collective Curated by GIRLS, caught my attention. I immediately thought the … Read more Love, Art and Feminism in the Digital Age. Digital_Luv is Curated by GIRLS.

chromestore_03-bly

Forget about schicki micki Mitte – if you want to find that startling statement piece that shouts ‘you’, head to Neukölln (and more precisely to the Chrome Store) When I went to visit Chrome Store, I imagined it would be like any other vintage shop from Berlin: a mix of hipsterish items, bohemian hats, garish … Read more Chrome Store Brings Berlin Designers to Neukölln
