Monthly Meet-Up: Emerging as a Transnational Artist in Berlin Network Meeting

How can you get your foot in the door in the independent performing arts community as an international artist? How can you sustain your work in the long run and establish yourself in Berlin? How does one deal with the challenges of freelance work, bureaucracy and, last but not least, the stress of reorienting within the local system? How do you find access to suitable funding opportunities despite potential language obstacles, and where do you find support when it comes to questions about visas, permits and taxes? Where do you find help when experiencing discrimination or exclusion? How can you adjust and revisit your work in order to attract more opportunities?

Our host Dmytro Grynov will share his experiences as an international artist with a Ukrainian background and will welcome the participants to an open round of exchange on how to deal with the challenges that can occur when getting started in Berlin. The participants are warmly invited to bring their most urgent questions regarding their freelance work with them.


In English spoken language, it is possible to ask questions in Ukrainian and Russian spoken language
