In 2015, Berlin's Governing Mayor Michael Müller decided to set up an exhibition on the history of the city of Berlin in the newly built Berlin Palace. In close cooperation between the Stadtmuseum Berlin and Kulturprojekte Berlin, the BERLIN GLOBAL exhibition was created between 2016 and 2021. Covering more than 4,000 square metres, BERLIN GLOBAL is an interdisciplinary, polyphonic and critical examination of the city's present and history. The message of BERLIN GLOBAL: > All people are global citizens and together they shape the city and the world of tomorrow. The exhibition was developed with the participation of various associations, artists and institutions and takes a stand on contemporary political and social debates, for example on colonialism and racism. The content has been prepared for a broad public and offers an interactive visitor experience. ## Artists at BERLIN GLOBAL - Ali Fitzgerald (Comic author, Artist) - Arwed Messmer (Photographer) - Ben Mansour (Graffiti Artist) - David Mesguich (Street Art Artist) - DJ Jimmy X (Musician, Author, Journalist) - DotDotDot (Street Art Artist) - Hanaa El Degham (Visual Artist, Activist) - How and Nosm (Graffiti Artists) - Jermain Raffington (Presenter, Producer, Director) - José Alvarez (Breakdancer) - Kadir Amigo Memiş (Choreographer, Dancer) - Philip Kojo Metz (Artist, Photographer) - Rocco und seine Brüder (Artist collective) - Norbert Bisky (Painter) - Stammpunkt Atelier (Artist collective) - Tape That (Tape Art collective) - Tom Nixx (Musician) - Vincent Voignier (Photographer, Artist) - Zoya Mahfoud (Journalist) - ... ## Partners at BERLIN GLOBAL - ABSV e.V. - Berliner Behindertenverband e.V. - Behindertenbeirat Land Berlin - Bürgerstiftung Neukölln - Dokumentationszentrum NS-Zwangsarbeit Schöneweide - Dr. Verda Kaya (Kuratorin Partizipation) - Geographisches Institut und Institut für Sozialwissenschaften der Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin - House of Life e.V. - HörBIZ Berlin - Lebenshilfe Berlin e.V. - Magnus Hirschfeld Gesellschaft - Modeschule Berlin.
