Ceremonial naming of the Çetin Mert Park
11th May | 3 pm | Green Space Skalitzer Str./Mariannenstr.
Çetin Mert (1970-1975) lived with his family in Kreuzberg. His mother Münevver was one of the first migrant workers to come to West Berlin from Turkey. On his 5th birthday, May 11, 1975, Çetin was playing on what was then Gröbenufer (now May-Ayim-Ufer) near Oberbaumbrücke when he fell into the Spree and drowned. The full width of the Spree belonged to East Berlin and entering the border area was life-threatening. He could not be rescued. Çetin Mert was one of the youngest victims of the division of Berlin (1961-1989). Before he died, four children had already drowned near the Oberbaum Bridge. After his death, there were protests by Berliners of Turkish origin. In October 1975, the Senate and the GDR government signed an agreement on rescue measures in the event of accidents in Berlin's border waters. To prevent further accidents, a fence was erected on the banks of the Gröbenufer.
Film evening “Mein Kiez. History(s) of the divided Berlin”
16th May | 6 pm | Roof top FHXB Museums
As a film student in 1991, Can Candan interviewed migrants of Turkish origin from Kreuzberg: What did the fall of the Wall mean for them and their everyday lives? What fears and hopes did they associate with it? How did they deal with the flare-up of racism?
In “Walls 2.0”, authors Jana König, Elisabeth Steffen and Inga Turczyn interview some of the participants in “Duvarlar” again: How do they view issues such as racism, nationalism and economic exploitation today? Are there new 'walls'? People from the eastern part of Berlin also have their say.
“Duvarlar - Mauern - Walls” (D, 2000), directed by Can Candan
Excerpts from the film “Walls 2.0 - migrant and anti-racist perspectives on the fall of the Wall” (D, 2011)

Audre Lorde – The Berlin Years
19 February | 6pm | FHXB Museum
The African-American lesbian poet and activist Audre Geraldine Lorde (1934-1992) had a significant influence on the Black women's movement worldwide with her work against homophobia, sexism and racism. Audre Lorde often spent time in West Berlin between 1984 and 1992. Here she gave readings and lectures, called for a fight against racism and encouraged Black women to make their own history visible.
To mark the renaming of a street after Audre Lorde, the FHXB Museum is showing the photo exhibition "Audre Lorde - The Berlin Years". This exhibition was originally shown in 2014-2015 at the John F. Kennedy Institute for North American Studies at Freie Universität Berlin, where Audre Lorde held a visiting professorship in 1984. The portraits by Dagmar Schultz show Audre Lorde in various places in and outside Berlin, both in private moments and in her socio-political commitment.
Intervention in the permanent exhibition "ortsgespräche - ferngespräche - ortsgeschichten"
Duration: 20.02.2024 - 30.06.2024
