VOICED: Berlin wall a canvas for East German artists

The video narrates the journey of sections of the Berlin Wall to Bordeaux, France. It begins with Danielle Bologna, a French businessman, who in 1989, facilitated East German artists to paint the wall. Despite challenges, Bologna's efforts turned the wall into a symbol of freedom of expression. The video also touches on life around the wall, including the presence of rabbits and gunfire. Years later, Bologna acquired four sections of the painted wall, two of which were displayed in Bordeaux as part of the 20th anniversary celebrations, marking a significant historical turning point.
