Location: Bismarckstr., Wilmersdorfer Straße 41, Berlin - Bezirk Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf
About event
Interreligious and racism-critical tours through the Christmas garden
Between tradition, religion and racism - rethink Christmas!
What is it about?
Christmas is considered a festival of love - and yet also tells stories of power, images of the "other" and colonial traces.
On the tour through the interactive Christmas garden, we ask together with Muslim and Christian voices:
How do colonial ideas shape ours religious images?
How can we open up Christmas - for dialogue, diversity and new perspectives?
Why this is important
Christmas reflects our society.
Here we want to show: religion can connect, points of contention can be reasons for discussion, and new, respectful realities can emerge from traditions.
Duration: approx. 90 minutes
Entry free
Speaker: Prof. Dr. Tuba Işik, Gökce Aydin and Bastian Schmidt
For all those who are curious - religious, skeptical or simply open to new perspectives.
