Andreas Tölke Executive Board Be an angle (touching)
See how he's doing it!
Be an Angel started off as a group of friends providing housing to homeless refugees on the streets of Berlin during the 2015 migrant crisis. Since then, they have grown to become an international charity providing crisis relief, rescue operations, advocacy, consultation and support for refugees around the world.

Being a good person is a (shitload of) hard work!
Berlin/ vandalism/ hope
As much as Touch is about dialog, last week I got an email from the exhibition space to inform me that the work was vandalized. Someone took the freedom not to just touch the work but to write on it with a black marker, and to insult me with very "juicy" words. It was the last thing I was expecting to happen.
I thought the gallery was a safe place, and this was my main downer, belly pain, a sudden violent mental and emotional pain. But that happily diminished while talking to a lot of my friends, supporting and giving me love and advice. Yesterday I brought two chairs to the group exhibition, one for me and one for the person who did it, I left the work on the wall and waited. I still believe in it "True dialogue can be achieved only at a touch distance".
Touch "1" was invited to be part of the San Rocco Museum permanent collection this November 2024 . Thank you to all the friends and people for supporting my work.
