In My View: Rasha | Museum Ephraim-Palais

Living since 2016 in Berlin, Rasha’s interest is to look at what shapes cities and how they grow. She is currently working in community and neighbourhood outreach and provides guided tours on the topic of migration in Berlin.

Helga Goetze

Many Berliners still remember her provocative actions in front of the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church and the TU Berlin: Helga Goetze (1922-2008) was an artist, writer, poet and political activist whose life was just as multifaceted as her practice. It was also characterised by duality: Goetze was a housewife who found her personal and artistic calling later in life, yet never referred to herself an artist.

  • Free Space

    Berlin is considered free, diverse and tolerant. For centuries, people have been drawn to the city in the hope of leading a life according to their own ideas. In the BERLIN GLOBAL exhibition, a themed room is dedicated to various scenes and subcultures.

  • The Sound of Berlin

    Well known for its distinctive and rebellious spirit, the music of Berlin has also been a powerful unifying force for the city throughout its history. Discover Berlin’s unique sounds in 70 songs and pieces of music from seven decades!

  • The door of the techno-club “Tresor”

    Between the rooms “Free Space” and “Boundaries” at BERLIN GLOBAL stands a very special door: the steel door of the legendary club “Tresor” at Leipziger Straße 126a. In the series “Favourite Object” we present it.
