 WHY THIS EXHIBITION?

My Mother is from BERLIN! What became the EAST

I am close to my mother through ART:

I painted her twelve times – 12 Paintings in 12 months – March 2020 – March 2021

WHY NOW? It’s Mothers’ Day Month! (and beyond – 4^th of July)

We tell STORIES:  We are recording her story.

And other Berlin Wall stories:

WHY HERE? PERFECT TIME AND PLACE:

Like the Berlin Wall that separated Germans from 1961 to 1989, and continues to separate them culturally and economically as lasting effect of the Wall between East and West

Overcoming separation, building bridges,….

The Berlin Wall: 

Symbol of separation we overcome!
