The district Marzahn Hellersdorf is a place to go for migrants from all over the world, the exotica project fits exactly here. The opening of the exhibition at Galerie M is also a street party, as the start of the Intercultural days of the district of Marzahn. Together with various local actors, the artists present a program to participate, with performances, activities and music, right in front the gallery.
