How Art Commemorates the 20th Anniversary of the Fall of the Berlin Wall
The highlight of the recent 20th anniversary celebration of the great fall of the Berlin wall was actually encompassed by art. That’s right, art. Over 1,000, eight foot tall styrofoam blocks were decorated by young artists from Berlin and all over the world - each creating a Berlin wall-themed domino.
All 1,000 dominoes were lined up, following the same path of the Berlin wall, creating a symbolic wall to be toppled over on November 9th, 20 years to the day of the unification of East and West Germany. The lined-up dominoes created a 1.2 mile border, right along the lines of the original wall. Watch the video below to see what happens after the dominoes have all been lined up. Thousands gathered in the heart of Berlin & one push was all it took:

This was such an amazing event; to see and feel the energy of those beautiful domino’s toppling in a land whose spirit has come so far- it made me feel glad for our race and humanity. I hope those domino’s go on to be displayed for the stories they’ll tell- ART IS LIFE!
