On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of Kunstraum Kreuzberg/Bethanien, the project Voicing Bethanien looks back at the eventful past of a Kreuzberg and Berlin cultural institution with an exhibition and program of events. The multi-room video installation from artist Sonya Schönberger consists of forty interviews with people who have shaped this place and talk about their memories and, above all, about their lives. Voicing Bethanien is a collectively voiced and individually experienced narrative of a venue of international and local significance in a city that has constantly been marked by rapid urban development and social upheaval.
