Curator’s statement
Berlin is a city where every corner tells a story — from its powerful history to its buzzing modern energy. I love how Berlin blends old and new so seamlessly, offering everything from moving historical sites to some of Europe’s best food, art and nightlife. It’s a city that inspires deep reflection and bold creativity all at once.
