SUMMARY:Pictoplasma Sunday Open House
DESCRIPTION:Pictoplasma Sunday Open House\nPictoplasma invites the public t
 o its Sunday Open House on 10 May 2026 at silent green\, concluding the 22
 nd edition of the international Pictoplasma Festival. Under this year’s 
 theme “Character Stories\,” the programme explores characters as start
 ing points for visual narratives – and what they reveal about genres\, m
 edia\, emotions\, and possible futures.\nFrom 13:00–19:00\, visitors can
  experience a full day of animation screenings\, an artist market\, exhibi
 tions\, workshops\, picture book readings\, and community gatherings acros
 s the silent green grounds. Since 1999\, Pictoplasma has connected interna
 tional positions from illustration\, animation\, art\, design\, gaming\, a
 nd emerging media\, shaping the discourse around contemporary character-dr
 iven visual culture.\nAt the heart of the Open House is the Character Mark
 et\, bringing together more than 40 international artists and independent 
 creators presenting artworks\, zines\, toys\, prints\, and character-relat
 ed objects. Alongside the market\, an Artist Showcase exhibition features 
 works by illustrators\, animation filmmakers\, and artists participating i
 n this year’s conference.\nThe festival’s complete animation programme
  will screen throughout the afternoon at both Kino Arsenal and the Cupola 
 Hall. Across six curated programmes\, audiences can discover 85 internatio
 nal animated shorts\, experimental films\, and music videos spanning absur
 d humour\, speculative fiction\, queer narratives\, emotional storytelling
 \, and radical visual experimentation.\nFamilies and younger audiences are
  invited to a Kids’ Zone presenting a rotating selection of animated fil
 ms. Participation also plays a central role throughout the day: Italian il
 lustrator Elenia Beretta hosts the open workshop “Faces Faces Faces"\, w
 hile live picture book readings by international authors and illustrators 
 include Gemma Correll\, John Bond\, Heike Faller and others.\nThe Sunday O
 pen House also serves as a meeting point for Berlin’s creative communiti
 es\, with informal Meet Ups welcoming both established practitioners and n
 ewcomers.\nEntry to the Sunday Open House is free. Animation screenings re
 quire individual tickets\, available on-site at the central information de
 sk.\n10 May 2026\, 13:00–19:00\nsilent green\nGerichtstraße 35\, 13347
