“Manchmal bleibt eine/r am selben Ort sitzen, und die ganze Welt um eine/n herum verändert sich. Bleibe ich unberührt oder ändere ich mich mit?”
“Sometimes one remains immobile in a place and sees the world around one changing. Do I remain unchanged or do I change, too? How does that happen? Do I take an active part in this change?”
Almost exactly 53 years after the Berlin Wall was built and 25 years after it was torn down in a popular East German uprising, Ingrid will talk about her life in (West) Berlin from the 1970’s until today, from student activist, Math teacher to Jin Shin Jyutsu (JSJ) practitioner and self-help teacher.
