Sarah Alberti is a journalist and art historian based in Leipzig. She was born in the GDR eight months before the fall of the Berlin Wall and now works as a freelance writer for various German daily newspapers and art magazines, as well as for artists and institutions such as the Dresden State Art Collections and the Hamburger Bahnhof - National Gallery of Contemporary Art. In 2018/2019, she collaborated with artist Hans Haacke to hang his documenta 14 banner “Wir (alle) sind das Volk” (We (all) are the people) in various cities in the new federal states. She studied communication and media studies, art history, and curatorial cultures in Leipzig and France. Her doctoral thesis focuses on art relating to German reunification, using the example of the exhibition project Die Endlichkeit der Freiheit (The Finitude of Freedom), which took place in the summer of 1990 as an immediate response to the opening of the Berlin Wall in East and West Berlin.
