Do You Dare to Play? – Guided tour by Martyn Sorge
Play and Democracy in East Berlin
The exhibition examines the history and legacy of the East Berlin-based collective Spielwagen Berlin 1, which emerged in the late GDR period as a pioneering force in experimental play and informal education. During the exhibition, on weekends, part of the gallery space will be reserved for children: they will be free to build and play in the space set up by the Association for Free Play.
Martyn Sorge, a former Spielwagen Berlin 1 member, will give a guided tour in the exhibition. Martyn Sorge is now the chair of the Spielkultur Berlin-Buch e.V. association and a board member of the BdJA (German Association of Adventure Playgrounds and Children City Farms), he is the co-founder of the first East German adventure playground (Kolle 37), and the founder of the Moorwiese adventure playground in Berlin.
The program is in English.
