opening in January 2021. A digital version of the first room \u2013 &#8220;360\u00b0 Thinking the World&#8221; \u2013 has gone online. The room&#8217;s 375-m2 mural entitled Thinking the World was designed by New York-based urban artists How and Nosm.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Urban art is typical for Berlin \u2013 which is why the immersive mural entitled Thinking the World by twin brothers How and Nosm will introduce visitors to the Berlin Exhibition at the Humboldt Forum. On 4,000 square metres of space, the exhibition examines the web of relationships between Berlin and the world while focussing on a wide range of topics such as Revolution, Free Space, Boundaries, Entertainment, War, Fashion and Interconnection. Kulturprojekte Berlin and the Stadtmuseum Berlin, the co-producers of BERLIN GLOBAL, are opening the first room \u2013 &#8220;Thinking the World&#8221; \u2013 online two and a half months before the exhibition opens its actual doors. Additional digital experiences are expected to accompany the opening.<\/p>\n<p>The topic of How and Nosm&#8217;s mural is the leitmotif of the exhibition, namely Berlin and its connections with the world. At first glance the work&#8217;s colourful figurative elements, applied to the walls with spray paint and tape, suggest light entertainment. But upon closer inspection they reveal critical takes on specific historical events that connect Berlin with the world. Crucial issues like German colonialism, looted art and environmental pollution take vibrant form, and famous individuals appear such as the Humboldt brothers, Elector Frederick William and Christopher Columbus. This first room provides an introduction to the exhibition&#8217;s main topics.<\/p>\n<p><em>The complete press release is available for download below.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class=\"block block-headline block-no-margin  hyph-disable\" >\n\t<div class=\"container-fluid\">\n\t\t<div class=\"row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-xs-12\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"box\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\".h4\">PDF<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n\n\n<section class=\"block block-press-image-select\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"container-fluid\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"row pdf-row\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"block-press-item col-xs-12\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"box pdf-row-box\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5>First room in BERLIN GLOBAL exhibition now open online!<\/h5>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"pdf-row-icons\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<press-shopping-cart-inline inline-template>\n\t<div class=\"press-shopping-cart-inline\"  v-bind:class=\"{ 'isNotSelected': !isSelected, 'isSelected': isSelected }\">\n\t\t<script type=\"application\/json\" ref=\"data\">\n{\n\"id\" : \"14650\",\n\"type\" : \"pdf\",\n\"snackbar_added\" : \"Added to downloads\",\n\"snackbar_removed\" : \"Deleted from download basket\",\n\"snackbar_link\" : \"https:\/\/www.humboldtforum.org\/en\/press\/download\/\",\n\"additional_data\" : null,\n\"name\" : \"First room in BERLIN GLOBAL exhibition now open online!\"}\n\t\t<\/script>\n\t\t<div class=\"vue-initialize\" ref=\"item\">\n\t\t\t<button class=\"button-with-icon\" :class=\"{hidden:isSelected}\" @click=\"add\"><span class=\"button-icon icon-plus\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span><span class=\"button-label\">add to downloads<\/span><\/button>\n\t\t\t<button class=\"button-with-icon rem\" :class=\"{hidden:!isSelected}\" @click=\"remove\"><span class=\"button-icon icon-close\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span><span class=\"button-label\">remove from downloads<\/span><\/button>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/press-shopping-cart-inline>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.humboldtforum.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/201109_PM_360_Thinking_the_World_E.docx\" target=\"_blank\" role=\"button\" class=\"button-with-icon\"><span class=\"button-icon icon-download\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span><span class=\"button-label\">Download<\/span><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/section>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"block block-standard-image\">\n\t<div class=\"container-fluid\">\n\t\t<div class=\"row\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"col-xs-10 col-md-6 col-xs-offset-1 col-md-offset-3\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"block block-button\">\n\t<div class=\"container-fluid\">\n\t\t<div class=\"row\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"block-press-item col-xs\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"box center-xs\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<block-press-download-button inline-template>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<button class=\"button-with-icon border\" @click=\"addAll\"><span class=\"button-icon icon-plus\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span><span class=\"button-label\">add all to downloads<\/span><\/button>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/block-press-download-button>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Berlin Exhibition at the Humboldt Forum can now be explored virtually in advance of its live opening in January 2021.
