District Mayor visits inspiring art exhibition of young women seeking protection

In the run-up to World Women's Day on March 8, district mayor Emine Demirbüken-Wegner visited the hiking exhibition "Art without Borders: Art of Young Women", which presents works by 48 young women from different countries. The exhibition was created in just four months as part of workshops with residents from the neighborhood and underlines the universal language of art as a medium for expression and communication.

The works of young women from countries such as Benin, Afghanistan, Syria, Ukraine and Cambodia tell their diverse cultures and personal stories. The mayor emphasized the importance of art as a bridge between different cultures and experiences. The Navitas gGmbH, which led the exhibition, has been committed to inter- and transcultural orientation since 2002 and is also involved in Reinickendorf.

The exhibition impressively shows how art can promote understanding and solidarity as a powerful medium, regardless of origin or language. State Secretary for Youth and Family, Falko Liecke, was also present at the presentation and emphasized the importance of the stories behind the works of art.

Navitas gGmbH employs more than 200 people and is particularly involved in child, youth and family help for intercultural projects. The exhibition "Art without Borders" is another step towards cultural diversity and communication in the city.
