BLACK
FLAMINGO
ART. CULTURE. RESEARCH.
black flamingo® is a platform for artistic inquiry, cultural exchange and collaborative production.
black flamingo® evolved naturally from decades of artistic work, shared experiences and cultural collaborations.
WHAT IS BLACK FLAMINGO?
black flamingo® has never followed a straight line.
Over the years, it has taken many forms: artistic projects, collaborations, exhibitions, publications, cultural initiatives and unexpected encounters.
Some projects grew, others disappeared, new questions emerged, detours taken.
What has remained is a belief in the power of art, culture and exchange:
connecting people, experiences and different ways of seeing the world.
Today, black flamingo® remains an evolving space for ideas, projects and collaborations, shaped by curiosity, experience and the desire to keep moving forward.

beth.oelscher.info
“The artistic works of Eva Beth and Torsten Oelscher address precisely those questions that have long preoccupied me in my academic field as a philosopher and cultural scholar: How can we deal with experiences of violence – whether linguistic violence, physical violence, individually or collectively inflicted violence? And how can we handle memories of violent experiences, which often have a traumatic nature, so that remembering always also reawakens the trauma?”
Dr. Steffi Hobuß – Leuphana Universität Lüneburg
Niemand kommt
Niemand kommt, alle sind dabei (No One’s Coming, Everyone’s Going) brought in around 60,000 EUR via the sale of tickets and merchandise as well as donations, 100% of which will now be passed on to Berlin’s one-of-a-kind independent arts community.
Vietnamese Contemporary Laquer Painting
27 vietnamese artists showcase their work

Landschaft. Erinnerung
The exhibition “Landschaft. Erinnerung” (english: “Landscape. Memory”) features photographs by Eva Beth and Torsten Oelscher taken in the vicinity of the former extermination camps Treblinka and Chelmno. The accompanying program explores the power of non-documentary photography as testimony, with high-profile discussion panels at the rk Gallery Berlin and Museum Lichtenberg.
skall
The collaboration with the French artist skall emerged from a shared curiosity about how art can create connections between people.
Living for many years in Paris, we were deeply inspired by events such as Nuit Blanche, when the entire city seems to become a place of cultural discovery. The project explored how artistic experiences can foster community in a shared moment between audience and performer.
