In front of the entrance to Lotus Vihara e.V. | Beyond The Frame: Young Perspectives on Diversity in Faith
Description
Felix, who teaches Vipassana meditation here, stands in front of the entrance to Lotus Vihara e.V. in Berlin. For many, Buddhist practice in Germany means living their religion not only in rituals, but also in their everyday activities. The image conveys openness and belonging—a religion that builds bridges between tradition and the present.
This photo was taken as part of the project “Beyond The Frame: Young Perspectives on Diversity in Faith” by Neue Deutsche Medienmacherinnen. The project promoted a diverse and discrimination-sensitive portrayal of religions in the media. Between June and October 2025, young (photo)journalists took part in workshops on discrimination-sensitive photojournalism and, in an accompanied practical phase, portrayed young religious people from Berlin in their everyday lives. The project created new images beyond stereotypical representations of religions, empowered young BIPoC media professionals, promoted interreligious dialogue, and made the diversity of faith in urban areas visible.
