Gallery Walk Kreuzberg: On Memory and Connection

A curated journey through Berlin's contemporary art galleries delving into different media and painting techniques while offering deep insights into the creative process.

Due to the fragility of some of the artworks we see, backpacks and large objects are not allowed - we appreciate your understanding ;)

"The Politics of Memory" is a three-stop tour exploring how acts of collecting, archiving, and exhibiting shape what is preserved and who has the power to decide. Beginning with the historical Wunderkammer, or cabinet of curiosities, the tour examines the origins of collection and display, questioning the hierarchy between collector and collected and challenging traditional systems of classification. It then turns to contemporary approaches to documentation and preservation, exploring how galleries continue to select, organize, and legitimize what is considered worth remembering while raising questions about responsibility once exhibitions end. Finally, the tour considers the archive as a contested and subjective space, reflecting on preservation as an act that can both protect and transform its subjects, and revealing how decisions about what is saved, displayed, or forgotten are ultimately decisions about which stories, truths, and histories are allowed to endure.

*Itinerary is subject to change

On our standard tours, we guide you through several thought-provoking presentations in the form of both group and solo exhibitions; on special tours, we have the fortune of visiting an artist studio and gaining insight into the artistic process. Whether galleries, museums, or artist studios - the goal is always to open your mind, discover new ways of thinking, and make new friends!
