ABOUT THE WENDE MUSEUM 
The Wende is an art museum, cultural center, and archive that preserves history and brings it to life through exhibitions, scholarship, education, and community engagement. Wende is a German word meaning “turning point” or “change” that has come to describe the transformative period around the fall of the Berlin Wall. Founded in 2002, the Wende Museum holds an unparalleled collection of art and artifacts from the Cold War era, which serves as a foundation for programs that illuminate the political and cultural changes of the past, offer opportunities to make sense of a changing present, and inspire active participation in the personal and social changes that will shape the future.

ABOUT THE EXHIBIT
The Wende is thrilled to unveil Counter/Surveillance: Control, Privacy, Agency, a groundbreaking exhibition featuring historical objects in conversation with contemporary artworks from across the globe. This dynamic exhibition explores historical and currently evolving aspects of surveillance and countersurveillance, drawing from a diverse range of geographical and sociological contexts and countries as wide-ranging as Bulgaria, China, Cuba, Germany, Hungary, Israel, Italy, Palestine, Romania, and the United Kingdom.
