SHUHARI Berlin

Read full description

Berlin, a city once divided by walls, is now known for breaking them down. It’s a place where edges blur, which makes it the perfect place to start. In 2025, we’ll open the doors of the Japanisch-Deutsches Zentrum Berlin. There, over 50 creatives from Europe and Japan will gather, offering workshops, exhibits, performances, talks, and shared meals. Through this living exchange, we’ll cross borders not just of place, but of thought, tradition, and spirit. This App is made for people who will come to our event 'ShuHaRi (守破離).' Our facility map is in your hand with the App, since you can check the map, our exhibitions' detail, the timetable. Receive notifications before each of sessions starts. Stories of Shuhari (Shu: 守, Ha: 破, Ri: 離) In a fast-paced world full of noise, we’re often told to keep up, adapt, stay ahead.
But sometimes, we just need to pause, and ask ourselves: What am I truly drawn to? What am I breaking away from? What am I ready to create? Whether you’ve followed, questioned, or let go of something, chances are you’ve had your own Shuhari moment. We hope this becomes a space to share those stories, in all the ways they want to be told.
