A tour through the streets into the KW’s past. In the early 1990s, the KW Institute for Contemporary Art was founded in a former margarine factory.
The institution’s history is inextricably linked to that of its neighborhood, the surrounding streets, and its buildings. To understand the KW’s historical connections, participants embark on a walk past boarded-up buildings, underground parking garages, distant domes covering burial chambers, communist clubhouses, and the courtyard of a collector who lives in a former nationalized factory. The view of a distant high-rise, which looms over the relics of the Soviet era on Alexanderplatz, marks the end of the tour through the streets surrounding the KW.
