Neukölln is not like other neighborhoods, here the silence is broken differently. Whether it is the markets, or the festivities and traditions of the migrant population. It is also the struggles for the causes that cross, where hands and voices are raised like mountains that cannot be broken.
Regardless of the weather, the weekends and the repression, people continue to come together in spaces where some days are markets others are spaces of struggle as Hermannplatz, in the end the daily life is political as all this neighborhood.
Thousands of hands that are no longer hands, they look like mountains or reefs, they have no shape. A long and wide mass of fingers that became seas. Seeing this sea of people raise their hands is like seeing an unstoppable force.
