Exhibition Opening

The artwork “Berlin / Identity / Home – How long is now” by the Berlin-based artist Christian Rothenhagen (deerBLN) builds a bridge to contemporary Berlin, illustrating how the city has developed since the fall of the Wall and highlighting the issues that are relevant today.


The exhibition opening will take the form of a live podcast episode of “Ostwärts – Conversations on East German Identities”, hosted by Nine-Christine Müller.

Since 2022, ‘Ostwärts’ has been exploring what it means to be East German today, beyond clichés and the attribution of problems. Nine-Christine Müller speaks with people from the worlds of culture, politics, academia and civil society about origins, belonging and upheavals.

The podcast does not seek to explain the East, but rather to listen.


Nine-Christine Müller and Christian Rothenhagen discuss Rothenhagen’s art, his upbringing in East Berlin, his experiences during the period of transformation, and his artistic career in this city that he loves.
