Open Space Vernissage: If I Were King or Queen…

What would Berlin and the world look like if young people from Neukölln could shape them? On the new Open Space by the Bürgerstiftung Neukölln in the BERLIN GLOBAL exhibition, eleven young people talk about the imbalances of the present and show their visions for a fairer future.

The children of today are the adults of tomorrow. They are superdiverse, rarely heard, and seldom taken seriously. What changes do they envision, what do they dream of? The young project participants take an unflinching look at their everyday lives, their city, and politics. Based on their experiences, they develop strong demands for justice, freedom of expression, and solidarity – values and actions urgently needed in our migration society.

On the exhibition space in the room Interconnection, visitors can become queens and kings themselves. Sitting on the throne, they are invited to actively reject present-day problems and join the young people in creating a better future.

We may be different in many ways, but in the end we are all equal – let’s dance together!

The opening will feature a DJ set by sherryaeri.

Since 2005, countless Neuköllners have engaged with their community through the Bürgerstiftung Neukölln (Community Foundation Neukölln), working to harness the diverse potential of the district. Their shared vision is a joyful, livable Neukölln, where all people can actively shape their neighbourhood and develop successfully. The foundation’s projects advocate for social participation, respectful interaction on equal footing, and fair educational opportunities.
