On his tour, Muhammed Lamin Jadama shows you “his” Kreuzberg – from the perspective of a political activist, photographer, social worker and neighbourhood connoisseur.
Muhammed explains how the drug problem in Görlitzer Park is linked to the European asylum system, what life is like, when you don’t have residence status and how social workers try to support those who are affected. Along the way, Muhammed introduces some of the many Kreuzberg initiatives and associations in which people with and without a history of migration work together to shape their neighbourhood.
His tour leads to important meeting places in the neighbourhood, such as the Senegambia restaurant, where you can learn a lot about Muhammad’s birthplace and its colonial history. In the studio of We are born free! Empowerment Radio, he talks about how lack of press freedom forced him to leave The Gambia and how this experience led to his involvement in the self-organisation of migrant communities.
The tour will be held in English.
