this year the palace will finally be opened to the public. the palace served as the seeds of the one son and dynasty from the mid 15th century. it was laser homes or precious came frederick the fast and was largely destroyed in the 2nd world war. in 1950 communist east germany had it demolished and replaced by the palace of the republic opening in 1976 it served as the seat of the east german parliament and an arts and entertainment center for the people. but after german reunification when it was found to contain as best as it was closed and got it. 'd in 2002 the german parliament voted to build something new in its place to the dismay of many who saw the building essential to east german history the last sections were torn down some years later. the plan was to build

a forum dedicated to world culture as the competition to design the new landmark was won by italian architect frank. he foresaw a building that juxtaposed the reconstruction of the original palace with contemporary elements. there's a snake at 1st with most of all by this isn't a building you look at and say oh another old building it's clear that there are contradictions and contrasts and that idea is reflected in the architecture inside as well also in terms of the concept just part if you fit. in with a 2012 did is a 5000 wooden stakes that once supported the palace will set. the foundation stone for germany's most ambitious and expensive cultural project ever was ceremonially laid 6 months later. sculptors and stone masons

reconstructed elements of the baroque for sod with the help of historic version crafts and sketches. the facade was financed partly with funds raised by the association of friends of the bell and palace its managing director is very him for the body of the policy has been of greater importance to berlin than any of the building of the original castle was built in 1443 when the population of the city was 4 or 5000 berlin then evolved around the building like tree rings until it became the city we know today brylin wouldn't be what it is without starts building . in some a 2021 lantern the final flourish was put on the new buildings kubler the building was complete and now the next challenge is to fit it inspired by its namesake spin helm and alexander from humboldt 2 titans of 19th century science and learning the venue will showcase cultures of the world housing the collections of the who bought

university the shop museum berlin foundation and the city's renowned ethnological museum and museum for asian art. the overarching concept is a subject of keen debates especially the question of honor to quiet during the colonial era some houses for the. building like this is built to last for ever so we really still want to have these symbols these testimonies to injustice in the heart of europe cities. in 2017 the transfer of billions in the logical and asian art connections to the city center begad artifacts were removed from the glass cabinets in their previous home catholic leaned taking the pound meticulously restored and shipped across town. trucks transported the largest artifacts across nighttime bend that unloading them into the mood for a 3 boston window for. some 20000 objects in toto. including

many of unknown provenance which were illegally come by in germany's former colonies. looted on an issue that 1000000000 continues to wrestle with. no wonder stupidly new and certificates are the provenance of these artifacts their origins their history and biography from production and original function to how they came into german possession and ended up in german collections as these issues have become a focal point of research in recent years in its mushtaq and in focus could one such artifact comes from the kingdom of in what became cameron a former german colony remember you know the throne of king toy. he's a peasant he gifted the threat to the german emperor a very heavy 2nd in 1008 to strengthen the relationship with the german colonial

groupings but how voluntary was the 5th rate. in parts of today's cameroon such threads are not really displayed in new zealand but remain powerful political symbols of a somewhat faultless nickel to old form is a good opportunity to explain with these artifacts actually came from power they seem to they i think items that have any significance and of sue for whom i think items that once had significance but have gained another now that they are displayed in museums and they gain new significance as museums exhibits or should they be returned. to return such artifacts are growing louder the name brands is said to be prominently displayed in the home both for and are among the most controversial of its accepted. lieutenant n.a.c. 97 by british troops there some of africa's greatest treasure. get started young as a towards the one woman that is now we have a situation that means we can look. this building saying the brock facade with its

suggestion of the 1000000 is a sharp contrast to the tale of colonial history that the are the facts on the splay insider tells us and that is correct. but we also need to bear in mind that the logical and asian art collections also give a lot of colonial context but that's not always it's not the defining feature of the value elemental. what precisely will be displayed in the long awaited home vote for him and how remains to be seen in the course of 2021 we will finally find out. this is what else we can look forward to cultural highlights that were meant for 2020 and are now coming our way such as james bond due to the corona pandemic and cinemas being shut down the british special agent had to keep postponing his 25th

mission. how. can bond save movie theaters because this is no time to die will find out at the end of march when the film is scheduled for release. in venice the 17th international architecture exhibition will also be opening in 2021 with $63.00 participants and 3 countries there for the 1st time iran to speculate on granada. starting the 22nd of may everything will revolve around the question how will we live together an important global question in time the political divide and growing economic inequalities mean. and the festivities for his 250th birthday in vaughan we're also post. around now

in 2021 the great composer will be duly celebrated beginning in summer when hopefully the worst of the pandemic will be over and the beethoven festivities will continue throughout the year because there's so much to discover. but now we look to another anniversary to egypt where 10 years ago the people rose on to protest for more freedom. in january 20th 725000 people demonstrated in cairo for a new egypt for an end to the mubarak regime and for democracy the weeks and months of protests are referred to as the arab spring when people in neighboring countries also took to the streets after a few weeks that thousands turned into millions bringing together farmers with young people and intellectuals such as the successful author of a less money in a d.w.i. interview he explained below the what you know prevalence of the old ruling party

are still in power of the old security forces people are still being arrested and tortured but now we have a voice with a purpose 10 years later on this one you know lives in exile in new york we arranged a video interview with him his novel the republic of funds truths which tells the tale of an unfinished revolution is set to be published in german and english but the story is far from over print and i believe that egyptians surely know that usually despite the. egyptian. egyptians who leave. egypt should still it forgive me i really should log. forget the 6 year. old little day for she. was sure that you are young important and young people will be given you should they will. well the

novel originally published in 2018 is about the 2011 protests and recounts the story of those cheering for egypt to transition peacefully the young and the disillusioned to see the opportunity for something new but it is also the g.l. of those who fight the protesters and stand alongside those in power. there was great hope when president hosni mubarak stepped down to the pressure but the people's disappointment proved all the greater once his old comrades in arms took over power palace one even knows the subject of the serial all too well because he was one of the initiators of the demonstrations his novel doesn't tell how events transpired but we know the story of one mubarak was brought to justice and sentenced to life in prison for corruption and abuse of office in 2012 the fundamentalists 200 morsi of the muslim brotherhood then became president and 2013 the military completed a successful coup against morsi who was then arrested and since then of delphi sisi

has been president of egypt in the country's darkest hour that. everything. has to be approved by. many people i have seen for egypt at the electoral vote that bridge. still flooded roads out of under el-sisi alice one he was immediately banned from publishing his work even though he is considered one of the leading lighters of his homeland his novels and essays have been translated into nearly 60 languages and millions of copies of be sold. his latest novel however could no longer be published in egypt in arabic but only in lebanon nevertheless alice money knows that despite the ban his book is selling as a legally pirated copies. very good neighbor which is of illinois stephen but

she's absolutely call it the cult of the relation of the right and she said yes and i i got your novel and i had the freedom a call to my friends and i'm very reluctant to read the novel because i don't want to change my looking. i bet she had heard she had heard that all that she called me here in new york that you said very good thing she said. you're 62 percent yeah you'll be at least real that it was and i was judging the political. and i said listen i live a little bit of history is what the literature should. follow swanny never wanted to leave egypt his homeland but when a military tribunals threatened to try and then court for insulting the authorities

he went into exile and 2017. now he lives in new york where he teaches at universities holds online writing workshops and publishes political analysis on you tube and he continues to write. it political like this other write a wall is supporting the struggle. writing logons is it way to express well you lot to the people you with your love the people it is always. reciprocated thank you very much 5 by the way right. next up marking the occasion of a very special anniversary jewish life has existed in germany for 1700 years in all its diversity liveliness and complexity but your.

car perhaps. the worst wrong is not. going to. be heard or. the installation of the jewish museum with berlin that makes this array of forces audible even for saree is being celebrated throughout the year especially at the jewish museum. with a new permanent exhibition focusing on 1700 years of jewish life in germany and all the falun comers that you might say the central theme is the relationship between jews and the non jewish society. and the dynamic between belonging and exclusion so i don't always get it's a relationship full of ups and downs in 321 any d n a jew is allowed to hold an official office for the 1st time but for centuries jews were only tolerated on german soil of the being ostracized and excluded from most

professions in the middle ages individual enclaves flourished under the protection of the bishops yet there are hot buttons where recurrently driven out the famed and persecuted. in the 17th century those look enough to be needed by princes as bankers and financial advisors were issued letters guaranteeing their protection as privileged of course jews. but they remained dependent on me the enlightenment of the 18th century really gave jews hope of a mancipation as freedom of religion equality and human rights were said to apply some of. the same time the great philosopher moses mendelssohn wished to reform his faith desiring a modern judaism in step with german culture. he translated the hebrew bible into german because he wanted his children to learn

german boy he wanted them to be able to participate in society and convert. these major shift stimulated the lively exchange of ideas between writers and philosophers jews and jews business science and culture the painter max lever. and the physicist albert einstein are some of the big july. names in german society . then yes and bellcrank if you look at world war one lots of jews authors soldiers come and. at the time that was a sign that they had become part of society and they really felt german. deutsche. but from the beginning of the nazi dictatorship jews were systematically excluded from society disenfranchised persecuted forced into exile and before 933 around half

a 1000000 jews lived in germany. survived for 5 there were only a few 1000. trimmings a blight on german society i think the holocaust is that really not the holocaust is still a very important point in jewish history in germany and in all of europe. but what's new in the current exhibition is that it's no longer presented as the end of that history the present here to be aired that's because there's been a resurgence of judaism in germany since the ninety's the jews are coming from russia. or even israel for the country of carried out the holocaust. today there are more than 200000 jews living in germany. but anti semitism is also on the rise of attacks in broad daylight 2019 saw

a right wing terrorist attack on a synagogue in the city of shocking event was a warning sign. that's me think if there's a mention me i missed the most important thing is that people learn more about jews and jewish life. how. many of these anti semitic ideas come from a lack of information and knowledge. because he said we have a very important task to bring visitors in contact with this culture is a cool toward the peaks holmes it's been a because of what i now call german culture and since the middle ages must be gets men and their dog couture at least that's precisely the goal of this year's events across the country under the banner of 1700 years of jewish life in germany. what else is being celebrated this year rebels and those who are turning 80 in 2021

like drummer charlie watts of the rolling stone is. folk icon joan baez. lol lol. now bob dylan. i have. to renounce singer-songwriter is the 1st musician to have received the nobel prize for literature among other accolades. and vivienne westwood turns 80 the woman who helped set the style for the punk scene in great britain in the seventy's but she also stands for political commitment against climate change and war in 2020 she protested in a birdcage for the release of wiki leaks founder julian assange. he was. probably. picked up.

and we celebrate posthumously the 100th birthday celebration of another artist it's very understated. and just one of. joseph boys was certainly radical and his words made him famous to. he reinvented the concept of art turning it on its head. i finished off and because he was an incredibly charismatic person who could really inspire others to follow along. he meant mention are you someone who courage people to believe in their own creativity that's a use it's. a legendary influence this year marks the centennial of voices but even in his lifetime he created his own legend in both go to his plane

crashed in crimea local to tar people supposedly healed his wounds with but and wound him with belts with back to mid this story could buy the boys with his trademark materials patent and felt. he deserved a new meaning on everyday objects a pack of sleds loaded with belt blankets departure transformation action for boys that symbolized energy he found possibilities everywhere where the melted all solidified everything was sculpture. is the pix in works made audiences ponder this is an art in which everything belongs thought spirituality people and nature. their voice bios and outside forces was ahead of his time so he demanded things. he challenged artists to move out of their bubbles out of the studio out of their little spears of influence and into society of. interested art to make that happen

. wanted change to do away with crusty concepts and folk. art and creativity should be for everyone at this it of the cademy of art he organized to sit in to protest admission restrictions his politics cost him his job . parents and come here right on television. for the contemporary art exhibition documented 7 he planted $7000.00 trees down as an antidote to environmental degradation. destroying. the flats. scupper quotes that it was hard it was a survey recently among very young american art students asking who they were most affected were influenced by. the boys was in the top 3 boys. and that's not a germany but the the us. boys achieved fame in the

us with this one. he spent several days living with a coyote. it was a rapprochement between man and beast an exchange between a shermanesque. and animals says this to native americans. was once said that art is capital he wasn't referring to money but rather the creative powers inside every person the art world's eyes are again turning to this great innovator from the u.s. to japan exhibitions will shed new light on the man and his complex world market is the market. today juice of course is more relevant than ever think about the last year and things like black lives matter artists were challenged not to just speak out on the issue but to actively participate in the movement so today's artists are being given the space the boys was calling for back then.

and that was just the beginning look forward to a year full of culture that inspires challenges and chance us next time. good.
