Welcome to Cena Berlim, a community of Brazilian creative professionals based in Berlin. We are excited to have you join us and share your talents with our community. We aim to connect Brazilian artists in Berlin and offer space for sharing ideas, tips, experiences, and opportunities in the arts and creative industry.

The community came up in 2020 as an attempt to solve difficulties and common issues faced by Brazilian artists in Berlin, like the urge for:

• new job opportunities and funding;

• solid and reliable support network in the city;

• safe space for sharing ideas, contents, projects, events, and tips;

• connection with other Brazilian artists and professionals also living and working in Berlin.

Cena Berlim provides a safe space for sharing and discussing ideas, experiences, and opportunities and supports a reliable network of contacts and assistance for the community, aiming to improve people's lives as immigrants and artists in Berlin. We communicate with each other and with the Berlin community through this digital platform, social networks, newsletter, and instant messaging application (WhatsApp group).

In addition to the relationship in an online environment, periodic face-to-face events are held to increase interaction between members (internally called Ceners) and publicize and promote their works and artistic and cultural projects.
