Nowhere else were the social and cultural upheavals in West Germany during the 1960s and 1970s as clearly evident as in Berlin-Kreuzberg: Through recruitment agreements with countries such as Italy, Greece, and Turkey, and the increasing labor migration, changes that shaped reality across West Germany became visible here on a small scale. The group exhibition “Kreuzberg: Art and Migration since 1960,” scheduled for fall 2026, is dedicated to the diverse and hitherto largely unrecognized cultural output surrounding the theme of labor migration and shows how artists in Kreuzberg engage with the tensions and questions of their time.
Additional information
An awareness team will be available during and after the event. You can reach out to the awareness team if you have experienced discrimination or harassment, are dealing with conflicts or difficult emotions, or just need someone to talk to. The team consists of trained anti-discrimination counselors.
