Opening on

8 pm at the ©kuc Gallery.
At the ©kuc Gallery, the
artists will show their video RÜTLI
STREET (14 minutes) and a short version
of one of their other projects
ZoneTOURISM (20 min).
A school in the Berlin
district of Neukolln, where the majority
of inhabitants are immigrants was in the
spring of this year in the media
spotlight. The board of teachers sent to
the senate a letter requesting that the
school should be shut down, as they were
unable to control the situation any
more. They lost charge of the students.
Control was seized by the students,
mainly descendants of Turkish and Arabic
immigrants. According to media reports,
the discontented youngsters were
aggressive. They were labelled as the
rowdiest students in Germany. The
authorities reacted very late, only when
the situation was beyond a pivotal point.
They had to send the police to the
school and promise greater assistance to
the teachers. The Senate refused the
request for closing the school. The
Rütli School is not the only school in
Germany with such problems. Among the
issues, which need to be addressed are
the functioning of the educational
system and problems with the integration
of second generation immigrants. The
debate moved from the school to the
German parliament. The German situation
was in the spotlight of all media
sectors also due to the events in France
in the autumn of 2005. The public became
aware of the serious threat of violence
by the discontented inhabitants of these
ghettoized areas. The situation in
Berlin has calmed down for now.
Apparently! But for how long?
How
did Rütli Street look this September at
the beginning of the new school year?
