At these hours of the morning, the street Muhlenstrasse is disagreeable. A leaden grey shows itself in the sky. A thin, alternative and contumacious rain, and a chill wind they strike any transient who dares to cross the streets of this extensive city. The cold has come with well-known punctuality, though the snow so waited by some in order that the traditional Christmas is a fact that completes the traditional scene in these latitudes.  The celebrations and purchases occupy most of those who can allow him the luxury and the time. Few ones we are those that we have turned aside of accustomed in these dates and have wanted to visit a space without equally, catalogued like " ... of the shame ... " for the means of the epoch in last century.
Soon there will be fulfilled twenty years of the famous one, unfortunately, Wall of Berlin (Berliner Mauer), that one that it segregated a population and your citizens, and that was the symbol of the intransigence of two antagonistic policies, dividing to the whole western world after 2 ª World war, and giving course for the later cold European war. But the major monument to the intolerance resists. Called " East Side Gallery ", with your thousand three hundred meters of length refuses to disappear. It is the major room of art outdoors of Europe. Together with the famous river Spree, artists have given themselves appointment and unscrupulous simultaneously, that have tried, to her way, to perpetuate this testimony of the human ignominy. Some, for which they try to dignify this place across a project of the same name to restore this stony linen of desires and messages. Others, for leaving your stamp of an unthinking and personalistic way, making eliminate original paintings.
The idea of the german - iranian Kani Alavi tries to recover the image that in her day it was born as protest to the imposition forced to the living together between the villages. East Side Gallery was born in 1990. 118 artists formed with your works the most famous kilometre of this one of Berlin, a cement wall of 3,60 meters of height that divides the neighborhoods Friedrichsain and Kreuzberg.
Not they all those who took part in your beginning will be in this next artistic appointment. The budget coordinated for this initiative is 2,2 million euros and the inauguration of this new phase is foreseen for next november 9.
