Scenes from Behind the Wall: Images of East Berlin 1989/1990

Friday, July 6th 2012

This black and white photography exhibit features images from an eight-day trip through East Germany in December and January 1989-90 during the waning days of Communism. This exhibition has traveled throughout the Commonwealth of Virginia and has been exhibited at the Virginia Museum for Fine Arts in Richmond. It has served as a vehicle for presenting sensitive and revealing views of a nation that was on the verge of reunification. Photographs were taken by American photographer Page Chichester and Helmut Brinkman, a German photographer. Travelogue/Dialogue was written by Page Chichester and Katharina Giebel-Chichester. Katharina, an artist and West German native, composed the second part of the commentary in the catalogue as a recollection of growing up with memories of the Berlin Wall. School field trips encouraged. *220 Parkway Lane South Suite 1, Floyd, VA 24091*540-745-2784* www.jacksonvillecenter.org* Mon to Fri: 10am-3pm, Sat: 11-4pm, Sun: closed
