How does art shape our built environment – and how does the city shape art? This tour, covering around 4.6 km, invites you to take a closer look: at works of art on and inside buildings that are often overlooked, even though they quietly accompany us in our daily lives.

Month of Art in Architecture 2026: A social asset or an aesthetic accessory – art in architecture: between potential and compromise (in German)
Ausstellungsansicht Kunst am Bau im Bezirk Mitte, Foto: Judith Laub, 2026

Art is currently being created on a large scale in Berlin, including as part of the city’s school-building initiative. What is being planned, produced and installed today will form part of the built environment tomorrow. But what ‘happens’ to these works once they have been unveiled and handed over to their users?

A street name is rarely neutral. It commemorates, honours, obscures—and sometimes does all of these things at once. In this guided tour, curator Tabea Thielmann takes visitors through the exhibition, uncovering the stories behind Berlin’s street signs, explaining how renamings come about, and exploring why some names remain unchanged.

When Berlin built its new Central Station, an entirely new district emerged around it—planned from scratch, including a network of newly named streets. But who decided which names would become part of Europacity?

Between 1948 and 1989, eight East German border guards lost their lives while on duty. In the GDR, they were elevated to the status of heroes, with streets named after them and their deaths portrayed as deliberate acts of murder. Among them were Reinhold Huhn (1942–1962) and Egon Schultz (1943–1964).

Short Film Program: Die Welt sieht zurück
Bild: Standbild aus Memories of a Window – Mehraneh Salimian & Amin Pakparvar, 2026

Die Welt sieht zurück describes a shift: it is not only us who are looking — our gaze is also being returned. Images, witnessing, bodies, and forms of individual and collective expression create modes of perception in which the world responds and answers back. The gaze itself becomes unstable rather than remaining fixed. The program presents short films spanning experimental film, dance film, documentary, and artistic moving-image practices.

To this day, far more streets are named after men than after women. When an entirely new district was planned around Berlin Central Station, a conscious effort was made to change that: many of the newly created streets were named after women.

»Furore«
Grafik: Nora Keilig

The solo exhibition by Nina Paszkowski, titled “Furore”, refers to the spectacle that has long shaped the Bärenzwinger: the principle of display and staging—whether through living animals, ideologically charged urban identity, or contemporary art. “Furore” describes a form of public attention that moves between fascination and unease. What attracts and excites can also turn into indignation or anger. Paszkowski approaches this anger through mythological figures whose name resonates in the exhibition title: the Furies. In Greek mythology, they appear as furious avengers who, through an act of mercy, undergo a process of becoming human and transform into the benevolent Eumenides.

umbennen? Exhibition project on the history of Berlin street names
umbennen? Exhibition project on the history of Berlin street names

As an inner-city district that unites former East and West Berlin boroughs, Mitte looks back on a turbulent history that is also reflected in the large number of street renamings. The regional historical focus of the “rename?!” exhibition is therefore on continuities, ruptures, and the possibilities for participation in renaming processes.

»Die gesiezte Tochter. My Total Deconstruction of an Armenian Family«
Beatrice Moumdjian

An Exhibition by Beatrice Moumdjian.
Moumdjian’s artistic practice combines autobiographical research with a critical perspective on history and its modes of transmission. Her work reveals how closely personal life stories are intertwined with political and historical processes, and how these entanglements can be examined, shifted, and rearticulated through artistic means.

BEHOLD GOD IN ALL THAT EXISTS IN HIS NAME
BEHOLD GOD IN ALL THAT EXISTS IN HIS NAME

is a site-specific installation by Nazanin Noori at the Klosterruine Berlin. It connects the historical space of the former religious building with questions of religious affiliation, power structures, public perception, and diverse conceptions of the divine. As a relic of a sacred site, the Klosterruine points to the political and social systems that have historically emerged from religious organisation. For centuries, the Berlin Franciscan monastery functioned as a space in which spiritual practices—both aesthetic and performative—were closely intertwined with urban order and political authority. At the same time, the ruin stands as a marker of repeated destruction and transformation.

QUEER ART IN THE GDR?

The exhibition and extensive accompanying events programme shed light on artists’ positions in East Germany and encourage a new reading of art from the GDR. The exhibition draws on the checkered life stories of nine artists and their works, ranging from painting, sculpture, and ceramics to photography. On that basis it shows how differently the nine addressed the political and social conditions of their day. To what extent did sexual orientation influence their artistic practice and their careers?
