Antipasti (Italian) and Meze (Greek, Turkish, Middle Eastern) are generally straightforward, easy to share snacks

There are hidden meanings in Kurt von Bley‘s art and if you just look at it and walk by, you wouldn’t see the layers of meanings hidden in the corners and the fine stitching of his artwork. You can see his work exhibited in Tape Modern’s Peep Show in Berlin. RSVP to the
