Träum Weiter — Berlin, die 90er

In the organizer's words:

After the fall of the Wall in 1989, the city of Berlin found itself in a transition, a transit space between past and future. Characterized by political upheaval, investment debates, pressing housing issues and social inequality, the 1990s also saw the blossoming of a self-confident young generation that was rediscovering urban spaces for itself. In the midst of this mood of upheaval, the OSTKREUZ agency was founded in 1990 by photographers from the former GDR. On display are works by co-founders Sibylle Bergemann, Harald Hauswald, Ute Mahler and Werner Mahler, as well as by members Annette Hauschild, Thomas Meyer, Jordis Antonia Schlösser, Anne Schönharting and Maurice Weiss, who have been part of the renowned photographer collective since the 1990s. Their works document the formative and turbulent events immediately after the fall of the Berlin Wall and show the social change and identity issues of the following years. C/O Berlin is presenting around 260 photographic works, including iconic scenes and never-before-seen archive material by the photographers. An accompanying publication will be released.
