Auction of original components of the Berlin Wall for the Raisa Gorbacheva Institute. 

Within the framework of the conferment of the Cinema for Peace Honorary Award to Mikhail Gorbachev on the 8th of November 2009, a piece made from an original Berlin Wall segment and funded by VisibleWall, ‘One World’ (by the artist Kiddy Citny) secured in an auction 40,000 Euros. This was donated to the leukemia children’s hospital in Moscow. We thank the acquirers for their great generosity. 

Research projects in Germany

VisibleWall emphasises projects that make the history of the division of Germany, and thus also of the Wall, something that is comprehendable and vivid for children and young people. 

We seek creative projects that make it possible, also in the future, particularly for school pupils to connect with the theme of postwar German division. Together with our partner Rosenthal, VisibleWall is, for example, open to suggestions such as using the miniatures in lessons in order to make interaction with German-German history more engaging (such as, for eg, initiatives painting the segments and others).

Development Projects in Regions of Conflict.

With the motto »No Walls for Kids – nowhere«, we want to support selected small development projects for children in crisis regions, and thus make a small contribution to ameliorating the consequences of political conflicts for children and young people. Totalitarian frontiers are not always as obvious as those found in Korea and Palestine. The invisible walls in peoples’ heads, with their dramatic ramifications on the lives of children, often make greater impact.

We would be glad to receive information about »Grass Roots« projects in conflict regions, likewise to contact artists who wish to achieve thought-provoking impulses through the use of Wall-symbols used in their work.
