Exhibition "Faces of the Peaceful Revolution 1989/90"

Photographs by Dirk Vogel

The exhibition composed by the Robert-Havemann-Gesellschaft based on the photographs by Dirk Vogel portrays people from different regional, professional, political and social backgrounds, all connected by their struggle for democracy and a free and self-determined life in the GDR. Some of them were politically active for decades in the East or the West. They were all pioneers and protagonists in the social change of 1989–90. The portraits are complemented by biographical texts highlighting the individual’s part in the revolution.
