Ausstellungseröffnung "Ein Ferngespräch. Szenen aus der Weimarer Republik"

In the organizer's words:

On Monday, May 11 from 7 p.m., the opening of the exhibition"Ein Ferngespräch. Scenes from the Weimar Republic" will take place. The Lenbachhaus cordially invites you and your friends to attend.
The economy flourishes, often on credit, parts of the population become impoverished, not only during hyperinflation and the Great Depression. War invalids, workers, the unemployed and violet sellers characterize the streets and counteract the Golden Twenties. Oskar Maria Graf distributes anti-fascist leaflets with a working group, feminists and the Munich Anti-War Committee meet in Schwabing and a local group of the revolutionary artists' association ASSO is working on a magazine. George Grosz depicts the rise of the National Socialists and caricatures the Hitler salute.
The exhibition focuses on concrete stories and tangible details rather than formulating grand theses on the Weimar period. The aim is to establish contact with the buried possibilities of the Weimar Republic - a long-distance conversation.

With speeches by
Matthias Mühling, Director of the Lenbachhaus
Karin Althaus and Adrian Djukić, curators of the exhibition
