Curator-guided tour through “Today yet, tomorrow surely”

The Berlin artist Pınar Öğrenci works with film and installation media, mostly based on archive material. She deals with social and political issues and takes a decolonial and feminist perspective. Her artistic practice focuses on migration, displacement, state power and strategies of resistance. In “Gurbet is a home now” (2020), she reflects on the urban renewal of West Berlin in the 1980s from the perspective of Turkish guest workers.

To mark the 35th anniversary of German reunification, the exhibition ‘Heute noch, morgen schon’ (Today yet, tomorrow surely) is a major film exhibition dedicated to the social transformations in Berlin around 1990. The focus is on documentary and artistic works that open up perspectives beyond the conventional narrative of this period. The monthly guided tours offer insights into the content and film aesthetic approaches of the exhibition. After a short contribution by curator Florian Wüst and a commentary by the artist or filmmaker present, there will be an opportunity for discussion.
