From 02 to 04 June 2023, the analogueNOW! PhotoWeekend will take place in Berlin-Neukölln.
This year’s PhotoWeekend will take place in the Schillerkiez neighborhood in Berlin-Neukölln. With a new location comes a new concept. Even more than in previous years, PhotoWeekend will bring together the contemporary Berlin analogue scene. The main venue is the church of the Ev. Kirchengemeinde Genezareth on Herrfurthplatz. Those who know it know that the church and the Startbahn e.V. are an important cultural center in the Schillerkiez and make their rooms available to many actors. For PhotoWeekend the church will be transformed into an oasis for analogue photography – most of the program will take place there.
