Berlin Drop

This Saturday evening our friends from Drop Everything are doing a little showcase here at the hotel. Drop Everything is a contemporary cultural biennial which takes place on the remote island of Inis Oírr, just off the west coast of Ireland. It is a platform to bring together people working in and interested in the arts, music, fashion, food, architecture, design and other creative fields. One of the main aims is to create a space for artists to connect and collaborate. In their own words: Drop Everything is about getting excited by new ideas and taking the time to consider them. It’s for people who do and people who want to.

On Saturday they’ll host a mini version of Drop Everything at the Michelberger, with music, art, food and some special drinks. Some of Drop Everything’s Berlin-based participants and collaborators will feature, alongside some visiting Irish ones too.

Here’s what’s happening:

Music:

Fionn Regan – Fionn is a folk singer originally from Ireland, but now living in Berlin. You can read this blog story about how we got to know him. He was part of Michelberger Music too.
