Since May 13, 2022, the Buddy Bears have a new exhibition
project in Berlin to specifically promote tolerance, respect and
peaceful coexistence among the people living in the capital. For this
purpose, an installation of seven 2m Buddy Bears will be presented on
Wittenbergplatz for half a year. The motto of this artwork is "Hand in
Hand for Tolerance".
The Berlin street artist "DYR Wandbrand", Damian
Yves Rohde, has designed the sculptures. His visual language revolves
around the central concepts: Tolerance, Respect, Freedom, Diversity and
the leitmotif "Hand in Hand" After studying at the Berlin University of the Arts, Rohde has
remained faithful to his roots in street art and visualizes in his
typical style, with fresh bright colors the diversity of the population
living in Berlin.
His seven Buddy Bears illustrate the joyful
togetherness in the city, whose basis is tolerance and respect. They
show people whose roots lie in all parts of the world. People of diverse
cultural backgrounds, different religions, of all skin colors.
Berliners with diverse concepts life and various orientations. The
sculptures show: They are Berlin. We are Berlin!
