Mit Liebe und Beispiel invites you to take an interactive walk along parts of the trail of the Berlin Wall. This performative event combines walking as a collective practice with the memory of refugees from the GDR and the resistance against the authoritarian regime. Flowers will be collected along the way, which will later be laid down in front of the Marienfelde reception center. This center was set up in 1953 as an initial reception for GDR refugees and was the first safe haven and transition for many, before they were sent to West Germany. This walk looks to create a space for remembering the history of flight within Germany. Walking along the wall thus becomes a symbolic act of remembrance that takes up the personal and collective experiences of the former GDR refugees and establishes a connection between past and present.

This event is a collaboration with Minh Duc Pham’s exhibition Integrationswunder at Galerie im Tempelhof.

Part of PATH 2: TRESPASS & TRANSIT (on migration and access)
With contributions by Alternative Monument, Nour Sokhon, Minh Duc Pham, Project In/Visibility (Samirah Siddiqui & Tasnim Elboute)

To be in motion is at the core of migration, dislocation, and displacement — a quiet unraveling from a once-known ground. Such movements can be chosen or forced, desired or inevitable. These movements may be voluntary or forced, driven by hope, necessity, or survival. Borders, both visible and invisible, dictate who moves freely and who must trespass.

This Path explores movement as both lived experience and political condition. The contributions consider what a monument to migration in public space might look like (Alternative Monument); the revisiting of a former refugee camp of East German citizens through the act of collecting flowers (Minh Duc Pham); containers in a harbor as symbol of motion and vessels of emotion through sound (Nour Sokhon); and the urgency of decolonial engagement by walking a colonial site, addressing the erasure of Palestinian solidarity and the limits of remembrance culture in Berlin.
