The exhibition Do You Dare to Play? – Play and Democracy in East Berlin examines the history and legacy of the East Berlin-based collective Spielwagen Berlin 1, which emerged in the late GDR period as a pioneering force in experimental play and informal education. The show explores the extent to which the group could maneuver within the strictly-controlled public sphere of the German Democratic Republic, as well as the often subversive tactics that made this possible. During the exhibition, on weekends, part of the gallery space will be reserved for children: they will be free to build and play in the space set up by the Association for Free Play.
