Breaking Ground is a photo exhibition that portrays the LGBTQIA* Running Community in Berlin. The cohesion of runners in their diversity shows how unifying running is. A shared sense of freedom in running becomes part of a common identity within this diversity. The images and stories of queer runners from all walks of life offer insights into this community and highlight its strength and resilience. Their aim is to be recognised not only as athletes but also as individuals, to build bridges and to raise awareness of the concerns of the queer community both within and beyond the scope of athletics.
