Emperor X joins host Raina Douris for “Sense Of Place: Berlin”
On the next installment of the “Sense of Place: Berlin” series, World Cafe asks the question: Why is Berlin such a hotbed of creativity? To answer that question, American expat and Berlin-based artist Emperor X takes us on a tour of some unexpectedly inspiring places he’s encountered in his years there—from gorgeous parks to evocative personal landmarks across the city. He also explains what Berlin does differently for artists – and how maybe other cities could recreate that magic.
