New Open Space projects at BERLIN GLOBAL

In summer 2023 we were looking for groups and organizations to realize their exhibition projects with us on the Open Spaces in BERLIN GLOBAL. 34 ideas were submitted. An independent jury selected three new projects, set to open in 2025 and 2026.

Create your own exhibition!

How have Berlin and Berliners impacted the world? How have events throughout the globe affected Berlin? And how do we want to shape the city, now and in the future? In the BERLIN GLOBAL exhibition, the Stadtmuseum Berlin and many different partners seek answers to these questions. The exhibition focuses on seven central themes: Revolution, Free Space, Boundaries, Entertainment, War, Fashion and Interconnection.

We also want your views, topics and stories to be part of the exhibition!

Do you have:

… something to say about Berlin, Berliners and their connections with the world?

… a topic of major relevance for life in Berlin?

… the motivation to plan and create your own exhibit?

On the Open Spaces you are invited to do just that. You bring the idea and the drive, and we support you with a budget and additional resources.

The aim is to increase visibility of perspectives on Berlin’s past and present that have not received sufficient representation in museums and exhibitions – including BERLIN GLOBAL. These might be BIPoC, queer, neurodiverse, physically diverse, or intersectional perspectives. The Open Spaces are part of the Stadtmuseum Berlin’s steps toward greater diversity and inclusion.
