An evening as part of the event series "Haltung üben. Bauhaus and diversity".

in 1936, the Reich Chamber of Art banned the Bauhaus-trained textile designer Otti Berger from working as a Jew and foreigner. Otti Berger had just set up her own studio and begun to cooperate with the textile industry and renowned modernist architects.


Using her example, the event explores the question of what opportunities artists had under National Socialism despite being banned from their profession. How did Nazi legislation interfere with their lives? How did the state-legitimized mechanisms of exclusion work? And how was it possible to reconstruct Otti Berger's scattered work?

With: Dr. Annemarie Jaeggi (Director of the Bauhaus-Archiv / Museum für Gestaltung), Dr. Corinna Alexandra Rader (Research Associate for Provenance Research, Bauhaus-Archiv / Museum für Gestaltung), Nina Kubowitsch (Research Associate for Provenance Research, Stiftung Deutsches Technikmuseum Berlin)

Moderation: Dr. Esther Cleven (Curator, Bauhaus-Archiv / Museum für Gestaltung)

Event language: German
