In the mood for some art after work?

At “Kunstprickeln – Art After Work,” Wednesday evenings begin with a 45-minute curator-led tour of the current exhibition. The tour focuses on selected works, curatorial insights, and new perspectives on the exhibition.

Afterward, we invite you to wind down the evening in a relaxed atmosphere. Over a glass of sparkling wine at Café Gemach Manhattan, there will be time for conversation, sharing ideas, and a touch of artistic inspiration.

Cooking together, saving food, and bringing people together: “The Kitchen for Everyone” (KüfA) shows how easy it is to practice solidarity in everyday life.

Its roots lie in the squatter movement of the 1980s. At that time, so-called “Volxküchen” sprang up in self-managed centers, where people cooked together and offered meals at affordable prices. To this day, community, self-organization, and solidarity remain at the heart of the movement.

Sophie Bormann (KüfA/foodsharing) provides a brief overview of the history and social significance of these community kitchens. She also explains how we can get involved ourselves, organize a KüfA, or support existing initiatives.

Then it’s time to get hands-on: We’ll chop, cook, and eat together! There’s plenty of opportunity for conversation, new connections, and ideas for building a community based on solidarity.

5:00 p.m.: Keynote with Sophie Bormann
5:30 p.m.: Cooking Together (vegetarian and vegan)
Starting at 7:30 p.m.: Dinner together (feel free to bring a container in case there are leftovers)

The event will not take place at the Kunsthalle, but at the IBZ Friedenshaus.
Advance registration is required to participate.
Please register and direct any questions to: politische.bildung@ibz-bielefeld.de

In cooperation with foodsharing Bielefeld e.V., the event is taking place as part of the collaborative project “Building Bridges—Creatively and Sustainably.” This is a joint project of the Einschlingen Educational Center, IBZ Friedenshaus e.V., and the Kunsthalle Bielefeld. The goal of the project is to bring people from diverse backgrounds together through shared interests. The project aims to help people connect with one another beyond their usual social circles.

Sing. Connect. Move On: The EinTags!Chor – One Day Choir at the Kunsthalle Bielefeld II
“Will you go with me?”—at the EinTags!Chor, this becomes a warm invitation: Come by, bring your voice, and experience how a shared sound emerges from many different people. As part of the exhibition “Shared Views. Kunsthalle Bielefeld x KiCo Collection – Part II: Will You Walk With Me?”, the Kunsthalle will transform into an open sound space for an afternoon. In the current exhibition, works from two collections interact with one another: they complement, expand upon, question, and contradict each other. This gives rise to new lines of sight and perspectives—between historical and contemporary positions, between painting, space, abstraction, and movement. Just as works of art interact with one another, complement each other, and open up new perspectives, so too do different voices and experiences come together in song.
We bring these thoughts with us into our choral singing: We connect with others, listen to one another, discover old and new songs, and bring together many individual voices to form a single choir. Voice training and singing aren’t about perfection, but about openness, curiosity, and the joy of creating something together. Even though our views sometimes differ, we can listen to one another, come together, and set out on a musical journey.
Anyone who enjoys singing or would simply like to give it a try is welcome to join—whether you have choir experience or not, whether you’re young or young at heart, an amateur or a professional. You don’t need to know how to read music. The only thing that matters is the desire to share your own voice.

Registration isn’t required, but you’re welcome to sign up—that way, you’re guaranteed a spot and we can plan better. Tickets can be reserved by email at:

Led by: Kamilla Matuszewska and Nike Schmitka
Organizer: Klang!Festival e. V. in collaboration with the Kunsthalle Bielefeld

One day. A choir. Many voices. A shared journey.

Let’s discover Sigmar Polke’s artwork “Negativwert” (1982) together! Polke’s artistic work continues to fascinate us today and opens up a space for exciting experiments. So join us when it’s time for “Pigments in Motion”!
