Art historian Thomas R. Hoffmann examines a fascinating and turbulent chapter in Berlin's cultural history: the pioneering female artists of the 1920s. Through the lens of figures like Jeanne Mammen, Hannah Höch, Lotte Laserstein, Käthe Kollwitz, and Renée Sintenis, this lecture explores how women artists perceived and interpreted their era during one of history's most explosive periods.

The Weimar years brought both a cultural explosion and extreme societal contradictions. These women navigated the art world as outsiders, witnessing profound social upheaval while creating work that endures today. Hoffmann contextualizes their artistic innovations within the political turbulence, economic instability, and social experimentation that defined the period.

This lecture is part of the LANGE LINIEN series, which explores sustainability, cultural memory, and social development. It's an opportunity to recover and celebrate the contributions of artists often overshadowed by their male contemporaries.
