Prominent Wall Artists talking

On the occasion of its fifth anniversary and the twentieth anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, the ARCOTEL Velvet Berlin staged an exclusive discussion event.

"The fall of the Berlin Wall was initiated by the East. It was a true people´s decision - an impressive demonstration of grassroots democracy", the former Foreign Minister of the Federal Republic of Germany, Hans Dietrich Genscher, wrote in the German newspaper Berliner Tagesspiegel, commenting on the collapse of the Berlin Wall.

2009 was a year of commemoration in Germany. ARCOTEL also joined in the experience, commemorating, of course, the fall of the Berlin Wall in November 1989, but also the fact that five years ago the opening of the ARCOTEL Velvet Berlin marked the start of the ARCOTEL group`s successful track record in Germany. Two anniversaries creating two occassions for a very special event: Under the motto "ARCOTEL TALKS", the ARCOTEL Velvet Berlin invited five Berlin Wall artists and five journalists to participate in a roundtable discussion on the past and present of Berlin Wall.
