Dear friends and colleagues,

This week we would like to draw your attention to an interview with Dagmar Schwerk and a call for papers for a conference on religion and collection in Glasgow. We also have a tip for a museum visit in Leipzig.

Enjoy and have a good week!

Art Exhibition: Re-Connect. Art and Conflict in Brotherland | Leipzig

The Leipzig Museum of Fine Arts (MdbK) is currently showing an exhibition on the history of immigration in the GDR and its consequences. The museum presents artwork by artists from the so-called socialist brother countries and young artists with (post-)migrant biographical reference to the GDR as well as pieces that deal with the taboo of racism in the GDR and the living conditions of contract workers, foreign students and their descendants.

Tip: Free admission every 1st Wednesday in the month – that’s today!

The exhibition is open until 10 September 2023

Museum of Fine Arts (MdbK), Katharinenstraße 10, Leipzig
