Art is what brought me and many thousands to the city of Berlin. Berlin, and all its changes, is art.For many decades Berlin has developed a lively, diverse, and independent way of producing culture and counteracting government decisions, based on, local, generous, and enthusiastic, but also worried, social communities that exchanged resources and ideas within a larger political debate. The city became a “natural” shelter and fertile environment for dissidents, artists, political refugees, and immigrants with any background also due to the need to overcome a traumatic past full of human generated atrocities that are still present in people memories and behaviour.It just makes my heart sing. Despite all that, I believe in art, but I guess it is about time to find new ways (again).
