Sprechende Bilder – Talking pictures
Photographs on the division of Berlin and political imprisonment in the GDR

“The exhibition shows 16 unknown photographs, which are made accessible to blind and visually impaired people through audio descriptions. It focuses on four themes relating to Bernauer Strasse, a focal point of the division of Germany: everyday life at the Berlin Wall, the expansion of the border fortifications, the border soldiers and tourism.

Audio descriptions turn the photographs into talking pictures. …” (translated with the free version of www.deepl.com/translator)
