Exclusive Tour at the Harvard Art Museum

November 15 @ 11:00 am - 12:00 pm

Discover an array of artworks that transcend borders and spotlight the complexities of modern German identity on a private tour with the curator of the museum, Dr. Lynette Roth! 

Made in Germany? Art and Identity in a Global Nation takes an unprecedented look at German art since 1980. Featuring artists from different generations and diverse backgrounds, the exhibition complicates notions of German identity, especially the idea of ethnic and cultural homogeneity. In fact, the country is second only to the United States as a destination for immigrants from around the world. The exhibition offers a range of reflections on German national identity, which was shaped by labor migration following World War II, the unification of East and West Germany in 1990, and the influx of asylum seekers to the country since 2015. As the pointedly interrogative title suggests, Made in Germany? asks, rather than offers ready answers to, the question of who or what represents Germany today.

 

Sign up will be announced via our newsletter the week before the conference – stay tuned!
