historical parallels:

A similar cultural support program was initiated in the Kreuzberg district in the past. There, artists were given the opportunity to deal intensively with the history and residents of the Görlitz park. The cooperation with local communities has so far been brought to light unmistaked stories. The focus was on reflecting the diversity and authenticity of the district in the projects. In contrast to the current program in Mitte, the focus in Kreuzberg was more on the participatory design of the artistic projects by the residents themselves.
