Did you attend the 10th World Festival of Youth and Students in East Berlin in 1973?
We are currently looking for memories to integrate into our upcoming exhibition In Conversation with Ghosts. It will run at Spreepark Art Space in the Eierhäuschen from 23 November 2025 to 22 February 2026.
We are especially interested in the following:
1. Which events did you participate in?
2. Can you remember any events held in the Spreepark or Eierhäuschen?
3. Did you go to the World Youth Games as part of a group or on your own?
4. Did you meet members of any foreign delegations (Arab students or the US delegation accompanying Angela Davis) or attend their events?
5. Did you attend the following tribunal at Humboldt University: “World Youth Denounce Imperialism”?
If you can answer one or more of the questions above, we would love to hear from you. The deadline for our call for memories is 14 September 2025. You can contact us here:
