Tertulia 4: Berliner booklets – over the city’s history and present
Speaker: Florian Wüst and Valeria Fahrenkrog
Moderated by: Marcela Moraga
The Berliner Hefte zu Geschichte und Gegenwart der Stadt (Berliner booklets – over the city’s history and present) are a series of publications that unite artistic practices, essays and activism. The issues thematize on social, cultural and economic changes in Berlin and other cities. Through this, they intervene in urban-political debates offering an historic and reflective point of view that is informative too. The Berliner Hefte can also be understood as a productive nexus, open to different authors and editors, that include analog and digital publications, expositive formats and political-cultural activities.
