After months of legal wrangling, the situation is now coming to a head: the Mitte district office has issued a demolition order for the Statue of Peace on 7 October. This is intended to silence a central place of remembrance against sexualised violence. Together, we will take to the streets to protest against the announced demolition and demand: Ari stays!
The fight to keep the statue of peace in place continues. AG-“Trostfrauen” and Korea Verband invite you to join us on 28 September at the Peace Statue. Together we will show our presence and send a clear message. In addition to speeches, we will weave the red net of the art action ‘Sangre de mi Sangre’ by Colectiva Hilos – as a sign against patriarchal violence and feminicide.
In April, the Berlin Administrative Court ruled that Ari may remain in public space until at least 28 September. That day is now fast approaching – but our demand remains the same: Ari must stay permanently!
Korea Verband deeply regret that the District Office of Mitte continues its attempts to displace the Statue of Peace “Ari” from public space.
Berlin Administrative Court decides: The Statue of Peace may remain until September 28, 2025.
The State Advisory Council for Participation urges monument protection for the Statue of Peace Ari in Moabit and the Sinti & Roma memorial at Brandenburg Gate.
