Berlin stories

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.

Life and Survival

In the Open Space project “Here and Now. Women⁺ Experiencing Homelessness in Berlin,” Anna, Janet, Janita-Marja, Richi, and Susanne talk about housing and homelessness. They represent many homeless women⁺ and discuss social boundaries, dignity, self-determination, and the reasons for their homelessness.
