Moving evenings

People love Rafaels readings and the energizing space for dialogue and audience participation. All presentations are based on the value of open-minded discussions and exchange of insights. The goal is always to move people, learn from one another, share moments of engaged conversation. Whether the content of the stories touches on sadness or warm, personal experiences, they are told from a place of love and acceptance.

Where to go

There have been already many presentations and readings of his work. Mostly, these have been in both small and big towns around Germany and New York City. Invite Rafael R. Pilsczek into your home, university, literature house, libraries or whenever you would want to create an intimate gathering for the open and inspiring exchange of ideas on art and society that will make everyone feel a part of the evening.  

Arts & Beats – The Video

The 5th Arts & Beats by Pilsczek & Manzel & Buddenhagen took place in Hamburg-Winterhude in the premises of the Buddenhagen branch on Saturday, 23 November 2019. After a great success of the first four Arts & Beats with numerous guests, wonderful food/cooking shows as well as a lot of good art and music we were very happy that Arts & Beats has experienced a fifth evening with more than 130 guests. Together with great photographers and artists, Rafael R. Pilsczek also presents his own paintings in a good place in Hamburg and makes room to combine politics, economy and arts. Arts and Beats is invented and founded by Rafael R. Pilsczek and organized with his friends Kay Manzel and André Buddenhagen. The 6th AaB in the beginning of 2023 again was a big success. We all were very thankful to repeat our concept after three years of sleep 'cause of the pandemic times. Now, the question is: Are you joining us at the 7th AaB? Do you want to be part of a nice new and neverending arts story? If, don't hesitate to send a note to my agent, please.

We steal the show

For those of you interested in an evening of visual arts, invite Rafael to show his paintings. Whether we gather at a gallery, a bank, or in nature, the magic and relevance of art will be in the air and the discussions. There is an epic painting culture to unleash. His art tells stories that will resonate with our daily and historic times. Martin Fischer from Luebeck, Germany is Rafaels artistic mentor. Together, they explore topics such as art in the days of digital time, the role of the artist in engaging a collaborative experience with the audience, etc. Join in this relevant and important discussion!

Insights and thoughts

Rafael is well educated and well-travelled. He is a seasoned public speaker who can articulate and engage the audience in a variety of timely topics. After decades of presentations in a number of roles, Rafaels demeanor provokes a palpably engaged, fun and intelligent exchange within the group.  

How to book him

Hamburg, Berlin, New York, Paris, big towns, small towns: we are reminded often of our eagerness to exchange ideas and find an energized inspiration for our work, our relations and our daily life. Rafaels work had been shaped by his deep belief that words matter, narratives matters and art has a center role in how we relate to ourselves and others. Invite him to start new conversations with those around you, be surprised, be inspired, end the evening with new curiosities, carry with you a memorable exchange of honest ideas in a warm, loving, and intelligent gathering celebrating and remembering what we all bring to a group.

Some facts

Born in 1968. A young reporter for big magazines. An academic, who has studied successfully Politics, German, and Philosophy. A politician of many years. An entrepreneur, who has founded his own company. A volunteer, who has leaded foundations. A writer, who has published books. A painter, who is an artist. Travelled in the whole of europe, in the US, and elsewhere. A leader and somebody, who has served the world well. This is Rafael R. Pilsczek M. A., no big thing, but big thinking.

A pal

Rafael R. Pilsczek loves love, and he loves the heart of people. More than 10 thousands of human beings have met and talked to him. Wherever he has laid down his hat, he has found a home. Married for many years and a proud father of a daughter, he has made his success story in Hamburg, Germany. Arriving there in 1994, he has had only one idea on his mind: go away from your small hometown and conquer the world. He will never leave his hometown Hamburg, but, you know, never say never again.

The people he's learned from

The teachers are: Sokrates, Kant, Günter Anders, Karl Popper, and many others. The living teachers are the stars of famous journalism, in politics, and in life. He is surrounded by writers, artists, and thinkers like Elias Canetti, Dashiell Hammett, Albert Camus, and many others. All of them have shown him, what the world is, what the world could be. To become somebody of their world, that is the trigger of the work of him. He will never catch up with the big ones, but that is of no importance of him. Go and leave your child rooms and child places and do something with your life, that is the motto of him. He did quite well.
