Young Fresh Different 2025 - Berlin: Group Exhibition

Zilberman | Berlin is pleased to present the 2nd edition of Young Fresh Different Berlin, on view from 12 July to 23 August 2025 at Zilberman Berlin, located at Goethestr. 82.

Belonging plays a vital role in how we understand ourselves and relate to the world; it lays the foundation for connections that are shaped by cultural contexts, shared experiences and diverse identities. As sociologist Stuart Hall states, “identity is always in process”; it is never fixed, but continuously formed and reformed through our interactions, surroundings, and personal journeys. Identity is not merely inherited; it is actively constructed, through the communities we align with and the places we choose to call home. For this reason, Zilberman embraces its role each year as a meeting ground — a space to connect with and support young artists at the outset of their creative journeys.

For the past 14 years, Zilberman has been dedicated to creating a space for young artists within the commercial field it belongs to, building relationships and fostering connections. Beyond the exhibition that it leads to, Young Fresh Different offers mentorship, visibility, and opportunities for artistic growth. This commitment has fostered a dynamic platform for emerging voices; offering them a sense of belonging, a crossroad where ideas, cultural perspectives, and artistic practices converge.

Embarking on its journey in Berlin last year, Zilberman | Berlin became a place for exchange among eleven young artists; each carrying distinct backgrounds, perspectives, and personal narratives, found a space where their experiences could resonate through their artistic practices. Now, as we prepare for the second edition of Young Fresh Different in Berlin, Zilberman continues its mission to create a space where young artists can shape and reshape their sense of belonging, challenge boundaries, and bring their stories to life.
