Abuzer Güler

Artist Abuzer Güler came to West Berlin in 1971 and began studying at the Staatliche Hochschule für Bildende Künste in 1974, today Berlin University of the Arts. Through his work at Künstlerhaus Bethanien and the International Youth Arts and Cultural Centre Schlesische27, he developed close ties to the district of Kreuzberg. He reflects on Kreuzberg in the 1970s and 1980s, recalling how the neighbourhood influenced him both personally and artistically.

The interview with Abuzer Güler took place as part of the exhibition Kreuzberg: Art and Migration since 1960.
