Nachrichten aus dem Exil | Texte zu Kunst und Exil aus den Archiven der Akademie der Künste 1933 bis 1945 | Lesung

In the organizer's words:

The biographies of artists who were forced to flee during National Socialism are characterized by persecution and farewell, by placelessness and speechlessness in the face of the abrupt loss of their familiar cultural spaces. What experiences do they have on the run and in the countries of exile? Does artistic creation succeed in a foreign country? The exile archives of the Akademie der Künste are presented as examples with texts by Vicki Baum, Bertolt Brecht, Walter Benjamin, Tilla Durieux, Hanns Eisler, George Grosz, Elisabeth Hauptmann, Friedrich Hollaender, Alfred Kerr, Heinrich Mann, Anna Seghers, Bruno Taut, Helene Weigel, Arnold Zweig and others.

Anja Schneider and Christoph Gawenda read from letters, diaries, notebooks and manuscripts by exiled artists.
