Berlin's Living Room TV Event Unites Artists and Activists for Real-World Connections

A new event called Living Room TV will bring together speakers, artists, and activists in Berlin on Monday, June 8, 2026. The gathering, hosted by our website FUTURZWEI and the FUTURZWEI Foundation, aims to explore how simple initiatives can create spaces for real-world connections. The evening will be moderated by journalist Maya Rollberg and publisher Harald Welzer, with doors opening at 6:00 PM and the programme starting at 7:00 PM. The event will take place at the our website Canteen on Friedrichstraße 21, in Berlin’s Kreuzberg district. Guests including writer Adina Hermann, musician Aron Boks, author Robert Seethaler, artist Calou Semeda, filmmaker Simon Marian Hoffmann, and comedian Idil Baydar will attend. Entry is free, but visitors must register in advance through the ticket portal.

*Living Room TV* will also be livestreamed for those unable to attend in person. The venue is fully accessible, ensuring participation for all. The initiative builds on the idea of *living rooms*—informal spaces where people can meet, exchange ideas, and foster community. Alongside the event, the organisers have launched *living-rooms-of-society.org*, a portal dedicated to showcasing similar projects. The platform encourages grassroots efforts to strengthen social bonds in everyday settings.

The evening will highlight how small-scale actions can create meaningful connections. Attendees can join either in person or online, with registration open now. Further details and updates are available on the newly launched portal.
