Saturday, February 15, 2014

Tomorrows absolute highlight: The concert of the singer-songwriter Alin Coen and her band at Huxleys in Berlin! With her catching songs about love and failure, she plays straight into your heart.

Wednesday, February 12, 2014

What drives the science team of the Pioti project to document each millimeter of the around 300.000 stone engravings of Valcamonica in the Italian Alps?
