The workshop Mauertag im April is aimed at all those who are curious about the Berlin wall and its metaphors in the world.
As a documentary and illustrative platform it invites us to an open and dynamic debate.
o What does the wall of Berlin mean ?
o What place will its memory take in the future globalized world ?
o Which are the challenges of the wall ?
o How can it inspire us ?
o Where is its place between myth and reality, fantasy and denunciation ?
o How does one distinguish between a frontier and a wall ?
o How can one understand cultural identity in this peculiar context ? (...)
