Urban Surfaces from Calgary to Berlin:
Nasarimba Artist Talk at SomoS Arts

At SomoS, Calgary-based artist duo Nasarimba () will share work developed during their SomoS Berlin residency and discuss how their visual research into urban surfaces, markings, and architectural details translates into paintings, prints, and murals. Known for a distinct visual language shaped by geometric construction, 3D elements, and gradients, Rachel Ziriada and Mikhail Miller move between street-based observation and studio translation with zest.

In this Artist Talk, moderated by SomoS co-founder and director Paulus Fugers, they will introduce their collaboration, present recent work, and reflect on how their time in Berlin will carry forward into the next stages of their European journey in Milan and Portugal.

Nasarimba’s artist residency at SomoS is supported by Calgary Arts Development .

Spotlight on Laura Pachón (), Barcelona born, Paris-based multidisciplinary artist. Her work combines painting, installation, video and digital media pieces that focus on intimacy and memory.
During her time at SomoS, she has turned her attention to Berlin’s city nightlife, trying to represent its scene where the „no cameras“ culture is predominant. She tries to portray the desires, identities and self-presentation that takes place during the night.
- [ ] To do this, she collects fragments through scrapbooks, gel prints, portable scanning and voice notes to capture the essence of Berlin’s night life. This allows her to collect fragments of sound, rhythm, textures, and the overall atmosphere without a direct representation of the scene. This project continues her dive into intimacy portraying fragments of something that can’t completely be shown.

Saying Au Revoir to Yasmine Laraqui

Goodbye to Yasmine Laraqui (.laraqui), whose residency at SomoS brought together writing, moving image, installation, photography, and painting in a dynamic new phase of her work.

During her time in Berlin, the Moroccan curator and multidisciplinary artist developed the third part of an ongoing literary saga, exploring identity, surveillance, digital culture, and post-colonial thought through text, video, and multimedia experimentation.

Her residency at SomoS combined concentrated independent work with curatorial exchange, including studio visits, critique sessions, exhibition opportunities, cultural trips through Berlin, and private and public conversations. As part of the program, she met with art professionals including Daria Prydybailo, art historian and curator formerly at Hamburger Bahnhof and Mystetskyi Arsenal; Yolanda Kaddu-Mulindwa, curator and director of the Municipal Galleries Neukölln; and Ulya Soley, curator at Hamburger Bahnhof and formerly at Pera Museum in Istanbul.

Her stay culminated in Made in SomoS, where she shared a public snapshot of her current work through an artist talk with Daisy Nikoloska, a video screening, prints, and the chapbook „Mental Without Case Law.“

The Chatroom (Group Exhibition)
at SomoS Arts — Kottbusser Damm 95, 10967 Berlin

Opening: Tuesday, March 3, 2026, 6–9 pm
On view: March 4–14, 2026, 2–7 pm
Free entry

SomoS Arts presents “The Chatroom,” curated by Babytooth Collective — the physical exhibition chapter of the hybrid project “The Chatroom & The Dollhouse.” .t00th

What happens when the visual language we use online to appear safe, likeable, or “cute” is processed through intelligent image-making — and returns as a physical environment? “The Chatroom” translates avatar culture, feed aesthetics, and attention-driven image habits into sculptural situations and performative gestures you can encounter in real space.

The project extends into “The Dollhouse” (online, Nov 2025–Mar 2026): a poetic webspace built around collectible tokens that mutate through AI translation and image-to-image prediction, until the “cute” becomes strange. Each token hides an artwork; collecting them unlocks access to “The Chatroom.”

Participating artists: Eliška Jahelková; Elizabeth Pejas; Ivana Vladislava; Joshua Esser; Louise Huyghe; Margherita Mezzetti; Nartalka; Sarah Khadra Hasni
