Our Space to Help

 

Berlin art institutions are calling for a joint fundraising campaign at the Neue Nationalgalerie – for people fleeing Ukraine and arriving in our city. The alliance is collecting monetary donations, power banks and mobile hotspots and is cooperating with Be an Angel e.V., who are committed to the sustainable integration of people with a refugee history. The glass pavilion of the Neue Nationalgalerie will be a place of encounter, a vigil and a donation point from Saturday 5 March 2022, 10 am to Sunday 6 March 2022, midnight; there will be an open mic with numerous contributions from artists, actors and musicians.
