How can we reflect on historical revolutions today? On International Women⁺’s Day, Polish writer Ewa Maria Slaska and Polish artist and activist Anna Krenz explore revolutions from Polish and feminist perspectives at BERLIN GLOBAL.

They revisit the correspondence between German writer Bettina von Arnim and Polish author Julia Woykowska to highlight the development of women’s history. They tell the stories of courageous fighters in the Polish resistance movement during the Nazi period – Stefania Przybył, Maria Kwaśniewska and Irena Bobowska. And they discuss the role of the Polish trade union Solidarność in the peaceful revolution of 1989.

Slaska and Krenz also speak about places of remembrance in Berlin, such as the “Monument to the Polish Soldier and German Anti-Fascist,” the Irena Bobowska memorial tree, and the recently erected German memorial stone for Polish victims of National Socialism. Drawing on the history of Prussian Queen Louise and her sister Frederike, they link these narratives to sisterhood and women’s empowerment today.

Recommended age: 12 and above
The guided tour will be held in German.

The tandem guided tour involves two people. An educator and a Berlin expert guide you through selected exhibition areas. The invited expert determines the subject matter. The experts bring their own varied professional and personal backgrounds into the conversation and may be, for example, a midwife, artist, small-scale entrepreneur, biologist, historian, archaeologist, psychologist, fire fighter or restorer. People who work as volunteers or have provided curatorial support in the exhibition are also invited to develop tours. This makes every tandem guided tour individual and unique.
