Jewish Women and Design in the Modern Era
The exhibition reveals the important role that Jewish women designers played in German society’s process of emancipation and modernization in the early twentieth century—as women, as Jews, and as artists.
Featuring around three hundred exhibits by more than fifty designers, this is the world’s first collective exhibition on the theme. It brings together pioneering women who battled social marginalization to attain prominent positions in their own domains—until the Nazi regime destroyed their careers and lives.
Some managed to escape and start afresh abroad, but almost all have remained excluded from the history of German art and culture up to the present day. Through their works, the Jewish Museum Berlin gives new visibility to their forgotten biographies and their artistic and entrepreneurial achievements. V
isitors to the exhibition will encounter a broad spectrum of design and craft techniques, from goldsmithing and textiles, ceramics and wood carving, to fashion design and graphics.
