Come with us on a journey of discovery through the streets of Berlin. The starting point is the current exhibition Träum Weiter - Berlin, die 90er. The themes of this exhibition are diverse, the pictures tell of new beginnings, of the emergence, but also of farewells and the disappearance of a city. We explore the content of the respective image motifs and accompany the participants in finding their own photographic perspective on Berlin. What happens in the streets, squares, buses and trains of this metropolis? Participants are invited to go in search of places where upheavals took place and history was written in order to capture the spirit of this city in constant change.

At the end, we will reflect on what led the photographers to capture this one moment. In addition to the content of the images, we will also look at the analysis of composition, light and motion studies. The photographic discoveries should ideally result in a series of images.
