About this event
FLORETS, fresh off of our first time displaying at Berlin's Miss Read Art Book Fair, will be celebrating the launch of our second volume. FLORETS: A Magazine for Young Poetics will be involved with three different events across Saturday, November 23rd and Monday, November 25th.
Saturday, November 27th in Neukölln
First, we party! Join us at Brauhaus Neulich as we gather an array of artists for performances, sharing and connections. We'll start off the evening at 19:00 Uhr with readings by each of the 9 contributors of Volume 2 followed by drag performances, and DJ sets – as well as screenings of special video works commissioned just for the occasion. Come dive into the neuroplastic world of Volume 2, flip through the book, and have a drink with us!
The program:
Location: Selchower Str. 20, 12049
→ 18:00 - Doors
→ 19:00-20:00 - Performances from all Volume 2 contributors: Jackie Barnes, Noano Shahira El-Metwally, Asta Tall, Nerea Menor, Aru, Hunter Storm, Em Dash, Noora & Lia Robert Horne
→ 20:00-22:00 - DJ sets + drag by Krabby Patty and Sharon Fruit
→ 22:00 - Further grooves by DJ MEPHISTO & more
The evening will be painted by various pieces of video art by Chilli Carney and Klauss Dupeyrat Noriega.
Join us and celebrate this shiny set of pages and its radical writing, rewiring itself constantly, as are we. 🎱

Program:
14:00-20:00 - Market open with publishers, record sellers and food

The confirmed exhibitors include:
SAND Journal, HumDrumPress, FLORETS Magazine, Errant Journal, Purgatory Magazine, Snack Magazine, Well Gedacht Publishing, Japan Records and local zinemakers Rosa Ray, Colleen, Liz, Maria and Lara.
Monday, November 25th in Wedding
If you haven't gotten enough of us, the monthly open mic Read Wedding will take place from 19:00 at the same location as the book market. Learn more about the open mic that's been bopping around Wedding for the last two years here: https://linktr.ee/readwedding
Frequently asked questions
As this volume is published in primarily English, so will the event facilitation. You will likely, however, encounter readings in both German and Spanish as these are present in Volume 2 of FLORETS.
All events reflected here are free, with alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages for sale by the breweries we are hosting at. Should you want to donate to help us fund a future edition, as we are currently independent, you may do so on the night-of or in your RSVP here.
