Family Workshops
Every second Sunday of the month, the KINDL offers a workshop for groups of people who identify as a family, regardless of gender or relationship. In the one-hour workshop, we will visit one of the current exhibitions together, explore the artworks, and then get to work ourselves. Alternating between collective and individual questions for young and old, we offer an approach that awakens a gratifying curiosity for contemporary art both in children and adults.

The programme is primarily created for families with children over the age of three. The content of the workshop is adapted to the current exhibition programme and the workshops will be held in German language.

Offerings for Schools
The KINDL offers a versatile educational programme that provides context for respective exhibitions in age-specific formats. The workshops are 90 minutes in length and create a framework for encountering and discussing works by contemporary artists from around the world. Participants explore the works in experimental formats and relate them back to their own living environment. In addition to one-off workshops, there is also the possibility of long-term cooperations between KINDL and schools, as with our project Die Blauen Bücher.

Information and Booking
The educational programme is held in German language and geared at grades 2 through 13. The workshops take place in the KINDL art education rooms in the mornings, outside of regular opening hours.

Architecture & History
The KINDL’s historic red clinker brick façade is an example of the Neue Sachlichkeit movement in architecture. "Cinema architect" Gerhard Fritsche designed the building’s interior. The Sudhaus contains six imposing copper brew kettles; once the largest in all of Europe, while the Kesselhaus boasts a ceiling height of 20 metres. With over 1600 square metres of exhibition space on three floors, the striking building leaves lasting impressions from the outside as well as the inside. Together we will explore the former brewery, which was completed in the early 1930s. We will look back over the eventful history of what is now an industrial monument and explore the extensive architectural redesign of the KINDL – Centre for Contemporary Art, which opened in 2016.

KINDL Rallye – A discovery tour of the KINDL complex
We’ll embark on a scavenger hunt through the KINDL and its surroundings. What did this place once look like? And what’s happening here today?
Together we’ll uncover traces of history and discover hidden and special places in and around the KINDL. We’ll ask ourselves—perhaps over a piece of cake between the old copper vats at Café Babette—what this place might look like in the future. The building’s eventful history is reflected in various logos. We’ll take this as an opportunity to design our own signs and to try our hand at stamp production and stamp printing. At the end of the tour, you can take your own stamp home with you.
This offering can be tailored for children’s birthday parties, corporate events, family parties, or school and university groups. You can book your event starting in January 2023 by email at vermittlung@kindl-berlin.de .
Cost: 180 Euros.
