RSSIn Berlin
Go to Alexanderplatz if you are in Berlin this summer. There is a free, multi-media outdoor exhibition about the Fall of the Berlin Wall twenty years ago.
The exhibit does a good job of capturing the political and cultural impact of the Wall’s formation and demise. (On-going until November 9th, the anniversary of the Fall of the Wall.)
Alongside the exhibition, interestingly, arose a makeshift memorial to Michael Jackson, on the weekend of his death.
I met a middle-aged German couple who reminisinced about their youth in East Berlin, and remembered the allure of Jackson and his music in the 1980s. Jackson, they said, embodied what was sorely lacking in their East Berlin lives: the unbounded world of possibilities.
Their favorite Jackson song? Man in the Mirror.
