Exhibition “50 years of the BERLIN-MARATHON”
A lot has changed since the first race in 1974. In 1974, the fine rib undershirt was the classic running garment - today there is an entire running equipment industry. Communication was also different: instead of smartphones, there was landline telephony with a dial.
The BERLIN-MARATHON reflects 50 years of sporting history. Embedded in the changes of an entire city, embedded in 50 years of world history. The fall of the Berlin Wall, the overcoming of a political system, as a global event. The exhibition “50 Years of the BERLIN-MARATHON” places the development of the running event in the context of all these changes with many exciting exhibits and offers lively insights into the last five decades.
UNSEEN – global photo exhibition and panel series
The exhibition is enriched by the cooperation with UNSEEN, a globally connecting photo exhibition and panel series that travels from marathon to marathon. UNSEEN provides a platform for athletes, artists and activists to share their experiences with the running community. In the MOVE, UNSEEN highlights two marginalized groups that overcome boundaries in different ways: A series of portraits shows blind and visually impaired marathon runners who achieve great things despite their limitations.
A photo series focuses on Berlin's LGBTIQ* running community and illustrates how running connects people and creates a common identity based on freedom and acceptance.
