Rise&Fall is a mobile art installation and dance event commemorating the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. The exhibition features artwork submitted in an open submission process interpreting the theme ‘bringing down walls/breaking down barriers’ (both literally and symbolically) and music performed by Turkish-German DJ/Producer, DJ Ipek Ipekcioglu (www.djipek.com). The artwork will be display on digital picture frames and will be available for viewing on the Rise&Fall website, www.rise-fall.com. As a daughter of Turkish immigrants to Germany, DJ Ipek Ipekcioglu personifies the breaking down of cultural barriers and stigma. Not only has she been raised as a Turkish minority but also a religious minority (as a Muslim) and sexual minority (as a lesbian). DJ Ipek Ipekcioglu performs a style of music that directly represents her cultural diversity and pride fusing Middle Eastern with Berlin Electro to create a unique club experience. Her performances are the embodiment of contemporary Germany (post-Wall), smashing musical, cultural and social barriers through an eclectic mix of Eurasian sounds, drawing on minority subcultures and pop culture in Germany.
