Art and internationalism at #BER: The “United Buddy Bears - THE MINIS” exhibition is currently on display at Berlin Brandenburg Airport. 100 colourful, cheerful Buddy Bears have found a new home for about two months on the arrivals level in the public area of Terminal 1. The little bears symbolise freedom and international understanding: each bear represents a country around the globe and stands for the people and their culture, not political systems. Each figure was individually designed by an artist from the respective country. The one metre high bears stand “Hand in hand” on small pedestals, symbolising the vision of a peaceful world.

Kunst und Weltoffenheit am #BER: Die Ausstellung „United Buddy Bears – THE MINIS“ ist derzeit am Flughafen Berlin Brandenburg zu sehen. 100 bunte, fröhliche Buddy Bears haben auf der Ankunftsebene im öffentlichen Bereich des Terminal 1 für rund zwei Monate eine neue Heimat gefunden. Die kleinen Bären stehen für Freiheit und Völkerverständigung: Jeder Bär repräsentiert ein Land rund um den Globus, er steht für die Menschen und deren Kultur, nicht für politische Systeme. Jede Figur wurde von einem Künstler dieses Landes individuell gestaltet. Die einen Meter hohen Bären stehen „Hand in Hand“ auf kleinen Sockeln und symbolisieren so die Vision einer friedlichen Welt.

Please pay more attention to staff training & assistance for travellers with disability at your airport. I travel internationally & found the attitudes & understanding from staff throughout your air port humiliating & so did a fellow disabled traveller. Disabled doesn’t mean stupid, unimportant or not valued as a citizen it means a little extra help & support understanding & attention to systems to assist travellers with extra needs. BER doesn’t have a good reputation in disabled communities - please do better to teach your staff understanding & respect & help disabled travellers from all countries live in a peaceful world too. Disabled travellers are international & need kindness & good international service too. Please pay more attention to this as part of your cultural values & valuing people.

It would have been great if you could have visually represented some bears that can’t stand perhaps. 🤔. Not all travellers can stand.
