Berlin

Although Berlin is often called the 'capital of atheism' - see, among others, Peter L. Berger - religion and the religious are becoming increasingly visible social and socio-political issues here as well. (Case in point: the campaign and referendum Pro Reli, Berlin 2009.) global prayers • redemption and liberation in the city investigates the role and significance of new and current religious practices, movements and communities in urban everyday life in Berlin. Two case studies (artistic research) are realized in Berlin that focuse on these new practices and on manifestations of the religious in urban space.
