CreativeMornings/Freiburg - Kaustav 'KOU' Majumdar

CreativeMornings/Freiburg is part of the international CreativeMorning network with over 265 other cities around the globe.

At the monthly events, creative people from and around Freiburg come together for breakfast to "look beyond the coffee cup" during a short impulse. The theme of each impulse is internationally standardized, but can be interpreted individually by the impulse givers. There will be an opportunity to network before and after the impulse.

An inspiring hour to start the day.

We will 'sip and sketch' with artist Kaustav Majumdar on the 'monthly' theme of LOCAL. Our speaker this month is Kaustav Majumdar (KOU), an Indian-born, Germany-based contemporary artist and scenographer.

Working between realism and abstraction, KOU coined the term Neo Vividism to describe his exploration of color, memory, and light. His paintings transform fleeting moments into vibrant emotional landscapes where perception and time dissolve into sensation.

KOU regularly appears at creative and cultural events across Germany, including Venice Design Week and Wurzel Festival, and has created live drawing and digital art experiences in Berlin and Freiburg. You can view his beautifully vivid work on his instagram (@idea.kou) or website.

With spring a-bloom in Freiburg, we would love to have our audience come together to hear from KOU and then sip some coffee while we take in and sketch some of our beautiful surroundings. The plan is to meet at the Carl-Schurz-Haus - if the weather is decent, we will walk across the street to Columbi Park together for a 'sip & sketch'. If it is too cold or wet, we will cozy up in the library together.

Event and breakfast are free, only registration is required.
