WALLonWALL - 50 years of “Peace Lines” in Belfast / 30 years of the fall of the Berlin Wall
A photo exhibition by photographer Kai Wiedenhöfer about border walls worldwide on a Belfast Peace Line - a separation wall between Catholics and Protestants communities. The show takes place in Autumn 2019 to include the 30th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall and the 50th anniversary of the first built Peace Line in Belfast.
WALLonWALL was an exhibition from 10.7 - 10.11.2013 by Kai Wiedenhöfer on the Berlin Wall depicting eight walls that separate people worldwide. The show of 36 panoramics in a format of 3x9 m covered 1200 sqm of the Berlin Wall or 364m of it and was an overwhelming success.
