This 7mt long mural (22.96ft) found at the East Side Gallery, the 1.3km (0.80 mile) open-air gallery, which was part of the surviving section of the Berlin wall, along the Spree River in the suburb of Friedrichshain.
Painted in 1990 by French artist Muriel Raoux and German-Iranian artist Kani Alavi. The following words are attributed to an African saying.
"Viele kleine leute die in vielen kleinen orten viele kleine dinge tun, können das gesicht der welt verändern".
"Many small people who in many small places do many small things that can alter the face of the world".
Another mural painted in 1990 by German-Iranian artist Kani Alavi along the same wall is "Es Geschah im November" - "It Happened in November", an abstract mural inspired by his observations from his apartment near Checkpoint Charlie, on the day the wall fell, when thousands of East Germans poured into West Germany. The faces show a range of emotions - confusion, joy, trepidation, liberation...
..."Many small people who in many small places do many small things that can alter the face of the world". thanks Sami for hosting, have a wonderful week.

DeleteYour murals this week have a very important message! So many ways that works out. Sorry I didn’t find any murals for your blog event this week.
ReplyDeletebest… mae at maefood.blogspot.com
Great messages indeed Mae, thanks.
DeleteThat quote is so true, there are many people doing good things in our world but they don't make a song and dance about it, they just go about it quietly.
ReplyDeleteAnd I believe that is the way it should be. If you do good you don't have to blow your trumpet. Thanks Amy
DeletePeople in large number becomes art. Looks good mural :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Roentare:)
DeleteI like the painting with people passing the berlin wall. I remember that event, which seemed so incredible at that time.
ReplyDeleteIt was an amazing event, hard to believe it was such a long time ago!
Deleteits really beautiful people how people can paint on walls. I really liked this one too. Greetings from me, Tine from Nl , and I wish you a good week.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your visit Tine, glad you enjoyed the murals.
DeleteMural with great meaning and a great message. Thank you for hosting.
ReplyDeleteThanks Nancy :)
DeleteGreat mural indeed. I only saw it on TV. It was a strange feeling. I knew no East German people in person.
ReplyDeleteIngo had relatives there and had been there as a kid, had seen how "they" live like.
My then boyfriend was a firefighter and had to go to the "border" near Bad Harzburg, where many, many came over to West Germany, too.
It was total chaos, he told me. Just like in the mural. No one, on either side, could believe what - that! it is finally happening.
And, well, it was "by mistake" actually. Funny, huh. The best mistake ever.
An unbelievable event for sure! I can imagine the chaos, everybody would have wanted to "be free"!! Thanks Iris
DeleteAmazing works, Great words.
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot for hosting. Have a nice week ahead.

DeleteYes the Berlin Wall is indeed the walhalla for murals. There are some really beautiful ones there.
ReplyDeleteThanks S.C. Lots of murals indeed in Berlin.
DeleteIt is too bad that one small person in Moscow is making the kind of changes to the world that we wish he wouldn't.
ReplyDeleteIndeed, one of many we don't want making any "awful" changes!! Thanks David
