At the peak of intra-Germanic tension in the 1980s, East Germany was really, really into hip-hop. The Goethe-Institut and the German Historical Institute consider the relationship between the Berlin Wall and American artists in a new exhibition, “The Wall In Our Heads,” and a film series that runs through December. Tonight’s offering, Here We Come, chronicles the rise of East German b-boy culture through interviews with teenagers who adopted monikers like Magic Meyer and Beatschmidt and went on to perform on some of East Germany’s largest stages.
