The public tandem tour in BERLIN GLOBAL takes us on a journey from the USA to Berlin. Enriched by personal experiences, Michaela Dudley, a Berlin-based queer feminist with African-American roots, speaks about historical events and current issues – whether about divided germany, queer history or everyday racism. She is always concerned with solidarity.
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.
