She tells stories about the role of the women’s movement in the 19th and 20th centuries, the struggle for visibility in Berlin culture in the 1920s, the resistance of women in the clothing industry, and creating a black lesbian community in Berlin.

About the format

The tandem guided tour involves two people. An educator and a Berlin expert guide you through selected exhibition areas. The invited expert determines the subject matter. The experts will bring their own varied professional and personal backgrounds into the conversation and they may be a midwife, artist, small-scale female entrepreneur, biologist, historian, archaeologist, psychologist, female fire fighter or restorer. People who work as volunteers or who have provided curatorial support in the exhibition will also be invited. This makes every tandem guided tour individual and unique.
