Other Events:

There is a poster exhibition of Reinhard Kleist's graphic novel Berliner Mythen set up in the Modern Languages building. The poster series follows the taxi driver Ozan, who connects the audience to the diverse myths of Berlin by the streets he associates with the stories. When his passengers name their destination, Ozan always has a story to tell about Berlin‘s most varied people – from the tsar‘s daughter Anastasia to David Bowie. This exhibition has been organized by the course GER 308 German through Comics taught by Sara Marsh<https://uwaterloo.ca/germanic-slavic-studies/people-profiles/sara-marsh>.

When: The exhibition is on now and will run until the end of the semester.
