1989. A revolution starts in Europe that leads to the fall of the Berlin Wall. Cold War is no more. We celebrate the 30th anniversary of the fall of the Iron Curtain with a unique multicultural photo exhibition that puts Eastern Europe in the spotlight. Raising the Curtain is a photo exhibition that gives a taste of Eastern Europe after the Cold War through different lenses.
