What We Do

GSBTB Open Kitchen's profile in the streetfood scene continues to grow! In July we joined the United Street Food event at Berlin's best-known foodhall Markthalle Neun, hosted by Souk Berlin.

At the end of July the refugee shelter at Tempelhof Airport held an event to open a new sports hall there. As the GSBTB Open Art Shelter works there on a weekly basis, we were invited to be part of the event.

On 9 July GSBTB Open Kitchen was again serving up tasty dishes at the Bite Club Umspannwerk streetfood event, this time Syrian dishes under the direction of head chef and refugee Amjad.

At the beginning of June, GSBTB Open Art Shelter was welcomed to Klunkerkranich, the rooftop bar and garden in Neukölln. Now it's going to happen every Wednesday.

The GSBTB Open Kitchen was invited to run a food stall at the latest iteration of Bite Club, held at the Umspannwerk event space in Kreuzberg at the beginning of June.

GSBTBers Hania Hakiel, Mohammad Othman and Waael Alafandy visited Wroclaw in April on invitation from the Goethe Institute, to attend an evening of connection-building between refugees and Polish locals as part of the European Capital of Culture Wroclaw 2016.

Iconic Berlin bar Klunkerkranich hosted a very special edition of GSBTB Open Art Shelter, way up on a rooftop overlooking Neukölln and the rest of the city.
