About
A reading followed by a talk from the series „Lettekiez liest!“ for children and young people at the Kultur- und Dialograum „M5“ in Berlin-Reinickendorf. Author Michael Feindler, a cabaret artist and poetry-slam poet born in Münster who now lives in Leipzig, presents his rhyming picture book „Osmans Garten“. It tells the true story of the Anatolian guest worker Osman Kalin, who in the 1980s laid out a vegetable garden on a patch of wasteland in Kreuzberg right next to the Berlin Wall; the garden became widely known as the „Baumhaus an der Mauer“ and a symbol of gentle resistance against the madness of the Cold War and against bureaucratic pettifoggery. The book brings a piece of Berlin's past closer to children and is at the same time a timeless, friendly plea for more humanity and mutual tolerance.
