Perspectives on Democracy Movements in the GDR and Syria
Exhibition design and graphics, with Adopt a Revolution, Berlin, 2020

Dictatorship, Opposition, Revolution explores the shared experiences of 1989 and 2011, examining how people respond to repression, protest, and the struggle for democratic freedoms.

The bilingual exhibition is structured in four thematic stations, each inviting visitors to engage with the subject through the political biographies, motivations, and reflections of eyewitnesses from both movements. Media stations offer ten-minute video interviews, while additional panels provide historical context, graphics, and visual material to deepen understanding.

Supported by the Federal Agency for Civic Education and Stiftung Nord-Süd-Brücken.
