The division of Berlin into East- and West- sections due to the Berlin Wall (1961-1989) re-defined Berlin’s urban structure and cemented the division of Germany after WWII. Berlin and Sarajevo are therefore examples of political and social change within specific and unusual situations which continue to shape both cities today.
Berlin / Sarajevo: A Common History of Limited Space The cooperation of the two art schools is concerned with the historic common ground of Berlin and Sarajevo. This year will see the 20th anniversary of the siege of Sarajevo during the Yugoslavian War 1992-95 and thus the resulting systematic destruction of its urban landscape. It was the longest siege of the 20th Century.
