Pro-Palestinian protesters gathered Saturday, June 14, 2025, near Berlin’s iconic Brandenburg Gate, rallying along Strasse des 17. Juni to denounce Israel’s military actions in Gaza and oppose German arms shipments to Israel. Waving Palestinian, Iranian, and Yemeni flags, demonstrators chanted slogans including “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,” “There is only one state, Palestine ‘48,” and “Never again means never again for all.” Many held signs accusing Israel of genocide and calling for an end to what they described as the starvation of civilians in Gaza. Some protesters voiced support for Tehran’s clerical regime and condemned recent Western threats against Iran, shouting slogans such as “Stop bombing Iran” and “Hands off Tehran.” Others labeled Israel a “terrorist state” and called for an end to the supply of weapons to the Israeli government. Organizers accused Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of war crimes, with some chants calling for his death.

These celebrations are said to have pagan origins, with participants wearing colorful capes and animal masks, of bulls, deer, goats and cows giving a unique expression of folk art. Today, the Carnival celebrates the heritage of Afro-Mexicans, who have been historically marginalized, the government didn’t formally acknowledge them in the national census until 2015. Despite residing at the fringes of Mexican society, the contributions of Afro-Mexico to the broader Mexican culture is undeniable. Welcome to: ‘AFRO-MESTIZO: Mexico’s Hidden Culture’

June 8, 2025, Berlin, Germany: Thousands lined the streets of Berlin’s Friedrichshain district on Sunday, June 8, 2025, as the city hosted the 27th annual Karneval der Kulturen (Carnival of Cultures), a vibrant street parade celebrating cultural diversity, inclusion, and artistic freedom. More than 4,500 participants from 69 cultural groups marched, danced, and drummed their way from Frankfurter Allee at Proskauer Strasse toward Alexanderplatz, ending at the historic Kino International along Karl-Marx-Allee and Berolina Straße. Event organizers estimated crowd numbers could reach as high as 650,000 over the day. This year marked a notable change: for the first time in its nearly three-decade history, the parade moved away from its traditional Kreuzberg and Neukoelln route. Founded in 1996, the Carnival of Cultures takes place annually over the Pentecost weekend and has grown into one of Berlin’s largest open-air festivals.
