Building Stories: Biographical Traces – Karl-Marx-Allee

If the event is fully booked, feel free to join us at the meeting point.
A participatory urban walk exploring memory, monuments, architecture, and hidden narratives in public space through observation, storytelling, and photography.
We will move slowly along Karl-Marx-Allee, treating the city as a layered archive of perception. Through guided observation exercises and short reflective prompts, participants are invited to explore how urban space is read through personal experience, collective memory, and everyday traces.
This is not a tour, but a collective reading of the city.
No prior experience required.
