Sabrina Faramarzi hat dies repostetSabrina Faramarzi hat dies repostetI’m announcing our next hyper-curated, private salon night on September 2nd at the residency and artist project space I run at THE FLOOR in Berlin. All of our salon nights are inspired by Andy Warhol and Gertrude Stein, because they built the original spaces where culture came together outside when space was limited. This time, the theme is bringing together visual and installation artists with leaders from the experiential, tourism, and nightlife industries. The night is about putting the right minds at the same table to challenge existing ideas and talk real collaboration. We host these editions at THE FLOOR, our independent, artist-run residency and project space, to keep the environment completely private, intimate, and focused on the concepts. The global creative economy is a $2.3 trillion market. But traditional business culture rarely forces these worlds to cross over, which means ideas stay closed off. Spaces are very limited. There are only 8 seats total at the table. If you are an artist, founder, leader, or builder working across these spaces and want to be in the room on September 2nd, let me know in the comments or send a DM for the invite.

Sabrina Faramarzi hat dies gepostetPSA - as someone who spends a substantial amount of my working time sending off applications, here's one piece of advice I would like to give to anyone anywhere who has ever produced a survey, application or something similar: LET US SEE ALL THE QUESTIONS BEFORE FILLING THEM IN. There is, quite frankly, no valid justification for making an application several pages long (next page > next page > next page) where you cannot access the important questions (why are you applying to this?) until you've first filled in several pages of personal information. Life is full of distractions (doorbell, meeting, lunch, kids) and closing your laptop to come back to an application which has not auto-saved and which makes you have to write ALL YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION AGAIN is not only incredibly inefficient and a complete waste of time, but also wildly infantilising for the applicant. This happens SO often, and I can bet you've likely had many good applicants give up because of this. I mean, why apply to something when it's clear the organisation has never bothered to test out the application before they sent it out? People need time to prep the important questions FIRST (they will remember their personal information, trust me). Either make all questions available on your website, information pack or similar before typing into an application portal that does not auto-save (this famously includes everyone building on Google Forms, for instance). An easier solution? Make the application portal all ONE FUCKING PAGE. And if you build applications but have no idea what I'm talking about, it's clear you've never tested your own applications. Sincerely, all applicants everywhere x

Sabrina Faramarzi hat dies repostetSabrina Faramarzi hat dies repostetHey Berliner! The first responses to StimmlosTrend are in, and two things are already becoming clear: Housing is emerging as one of the biggest concerns. And almost everyone who has responded so far says they would vote if they had the right to do so. In other words, the problem is not a lack of interest. It is a lack of opportunity. But we need many more voices to get a meaningful picture of the nearly one million people who live in Berlin but cannot vote in elections to the House of Representatives. Our aim is to make StimmlosTrend as representative as possible. To achieve that, we need strong participation from communities across the city. And there is more good news: StimmlosTrend is now available in six languages: English, German, Turkish, Arabic, Ukrainian and Russian, helping us reach even more of Berlin's international communities. The survey will remain open until around 7 September, and the results will be published before the Berlin election. If you cannot vote in the Berlin House of Representatives election, please take part here. And if you can vote, you can still help: share the survey with friends, colleagues, neighbours or communities who cannot. Together with our media partners Berliner Morgenpost, 20Percent and Handpicked Berlin, and with the support of community organisations across Berlin, we want to make sure these perspectives become part of the public debate before election day. Thank you to everyone who has already participated, translated, shared or supported StimmlosTrend. Every response brings us closer to a clearer picture of Berlin's missing voices. https://lnkd.in/d-5u3-BS

Sabrina Faramarzi hat dies repostetSabrina Faramarzi hat dies repostetOkay, I’ll say it: Is Berlin way too gatekept for the size of its economy (said from a New York perspective)? I'm curious to know your thoughts. Lately, the word on the street is that NYC is "dead" and apparently so is Berlin. People keep pointing to all the tech layoffs and how hard it is to get funding right now. The stats seem to back this up: global tech layoffs have crossed 125,000 job cuts this year, and early-stage startup money is tough to find. But splitting my time between the U.S. and Europe has shown me a massive difference in how these two cities handle the pressure. In my short time back in New York, connecting with people has been incredibly easy. If you have real drive and a sharp idea, you can get a CEO to text you back on WhatsApp almost immediately; NYC still seems to reward raw hustle. Berlin, on the other hand, feels locked down by red tape and over-caution. In comparison, trying to open doors, pitch partnerships, or get high-level meetings with CEOs in Berlin just feels like a constant roadblock, or they aren't interested in international business as much. When the market gets tough, the natural instinct in German business culture seems to be avoid risk. But is closing inwards the best way to handle a downturn? Berlin has amazing international talent and low costs, but I wonder if the city slows down too much when leaders treat a cold message like an unwelcome invitation. For the founders and investors working across both sides: Is Berlin’s fear of risk holding it back, or has NYC's speed just spoiled us? I’d love to hear your experiences.

Sabrina Faramarzi hat dies repostetSabrina Faramarzi hat dies repostetI’m really excited that we’re recruiting for a Community Organiser at Greater Govanhill CIC. I believe local journalism can – and should be – interventionist. If you’re rooted in a neighbourhood, you should want that neighbourhood to be better because you’re there. And I don’t think that’s at cross purposes with good journalism. For me, that means listening to people, making connections, sharing useful information, investigating problems and sharing ideas and examples that might inspire others to act. This is the first role we’ve created that explicitly bridges community organising and community journalism, and I’m really excited to see what comes from bringing those two together. Please share with your networks. https://lnkd.in/eTEE4NjN

Amy Paunila oh god, this is just awful. Luckily I have not had to do one of these in a few years (most of the applications I am talking about are for grants or organisational funding) but that is terrible form. If I was a jobseeker in 2026 and a company's application process looked like that - well, à la poubelle!!

Sabrina Faramarzi gefällt dasSabrina Faramarzi gefällt dasI’m pleased to share that I am joining Radio Free Europe Radio Liberty in Prague as Regional Director for the Near East, overseeing Radio Farda and Radio Azadi. Both provide indispensable public-service journalism to audiences with limited access to reliable, independent information. Radio Farda reports for audiences in Iran, while Radio Azadi serves Afghanistan as a full-service public broadcaster—including hundreds of lessons for girls denied access to secondary education under Taliban rule. Despite their names, these are thoroughly modern, multiplatform news services, reaching audiences through radio, websites, apps, Instagram, YouTube and other digital channels. I’m very much looking forward to working with their extraordinarily committed journalists and helping carry this vital work forward.

Sabrina Faramarzi gefällt dasIt's hard to express how honoured I am to be shortlisted for the 2026 Václav Havel Human Rights Prize alongside Masih Alinejad and Nasrin Sotoudeh, who are both fearless champions for human rights in Iran. The Václav Havel Prize rewards outstanding civil society action in defence of human rights in Europe and beyond, and is awarded each year by the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe in partnership with the Charter 77 Foundation from Czechia. Announcing the shortlist, PACE President Petra Bayr said the selection panel's choice underscores “the essential role played by women human rights defenders, as well as their incredible bravery.” The winner will be announced at the opening of the #PACEautumn2026 plenary session in Strasbourg on 28 September. 🔗 Find out more: https://lnkd.in/dtGSZwkd

For BBC, I looked into how some medications interfere with the body's ability to regulate temperature, and why doctors are seeing more heat-related illness as a result.

NarativAI – Center for Media Innovation in the Balkans
Social media platforms and search engines do not produce journalism, but they strongly influence its visibility. Algorithmic systems decide which content is amplified, deprioritised, or effectively buried. According to the 2025 IRIS report, a publication of the European Audiovisual Observatory | Observatoire européen de l'audiovisuel (Council of Europe), digital platforms and AI-driven systems now play a central role in determining what news audiences see, when they see it, and whether they see it at all. https://lnkd.in/dXe8jdBy
