Video: 'Ghost Train' - Memories of ghost trains and ghost stations in former East and West Berlin. This motion comic sparked the idea for our project.

"Friendship Beyond Borders"

Project 3

The participants of the third MoCom group got to know each other, the artist Livia Brocke and the entire MoCom team personally at the kick-off workshop on September 9-11, 2022. During a visit to the Marienborn Memorial to Divided Germany and a conversation with a contemporary witness, we began to explore the group’s topic of Shared history – Shared Stories.

Since then, online meetings have been held regularly, in which the participants at first discussed methods for their memory work. Currently, the motion comic and the accompanying pedagogical material is in the midst of production.

The premiere will take place on the Saturday June 24, 2023, at 7 PM in the Club “Pferdestall” in Helmstedt.
