On the occasion of the 175th anniversary of the March Revolution, the exhibition BERLIN GLOBAL takes a look at the central inspirations, discussions and conflicts of the revolutionary period in its digital collection. Available online from 18 March!
Regular: Free of charge
In the spring and summer of 1848, the newly won freedom of speech and of the press, together with modern printing methods, made it possible to hold daily debates through posters and leaflets on the streets of Berlin. This enabled a wide variety of representatives of Berlin’s urban society to exchange views on current events and competing visions of the future.
Using the example of 33 historical posters from the “Revolution” room of the BERLIN GLOBAL exhibition, curator Martin Düspohl explains the different positions, backgrounds and nuances of the public texts.
This project is made possible within the framework of the
Digitisation and Visualisation of Object-Related Collection Data (MDVOS) of the Humboldt Forum Foundation, with funding from the Beauftragte der Bundesregierung für Kultur und Medien.
