# Boundaries

![Eine Frau steht mit dem Rücken zur Kamera auf einer Bodenprojektion, die in weißen Linien die Grenzen der Stadt Berlin aufzeigt](https://staging.stadtmuseum.de/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/BG_210716_klein_088_Previewtag_Foto_Oana_Popa-Costea-300x200.jpg)

In the darkened room of the BERLIN GLOBAL exhibition, the first thing that catches the eye is the glowing map covering the floor. Although the streets are shown in a simplified form, Berlin’s outlines are still recognisable, standing out sharply against the dark background. This space is about boundaries, visible and invisible, historical and contemporary.

## This is what awaits you:

- Media stations on the subject of boundaries
- Historical objects

### Life and Survival

In the Open Space project "Here and Now. Women⁺ Experiencing Homelessness in Berlin," Anna, Janet, Janita-Marja, Richi, and Susanne talk about housing and homelessness. They represent many homeless women⁺ and discuss social boundaries, dignity, self-determination, and the reasons for their homelessness.
