The upheaval of 1989/90 and German unity: mixed feelings?

Guided tour of the East Side Gallery

The artists painted their messages for a united Europe on the Berlin Wall in 1990. Some took their experiences from 1990 as inspiration for their artwork. The more than one hundred works of art tell of hope and joy, but also of worries and unsettling experiences during the period of upheaval in 1989/90. As part of the tour, some of the works of art will be presented and a look will be taken at how the artists look back on German unity and the transformation more than 35 years after the fall of the Wall: What would they have painted on the Berlin Wall today? Are the messages still relevant?Translated with DeepL
