Berlin

The stop of the exhibition in Berlin in June 2002 was particularly meaningful in this once divided city. The exhibition was mounted in the Platz der Republik facing the German Bundestag/Parliament Buildings in the spot where the dividing wall once stood and it was hosted by the President of the Bundestag and the Mayor of Berlin. Through the sponsorship of the Dresdner Bank many activities on the theme of coexistence took place in conjunction with the exhibition including: Coexistence Day for schoolchildren, Coexistence parade of cultures, Coexistence Film Festival, panel discussions on coexistence sponsored by the leading daily newspaper, Der Tagesspiegel, with leading academics and well known writers and thinkers and finally a poster competition in the local Berlin Academy of Art.
