Art history, Berlin Dada, the Weimar Republic, German colonialism, currently AvHumboldt postdoc in the Free and Hanseatic City of Bremen 🗝️
Interesting exhibition on SA Expressionist Irma Stern at the Brücke Museum. Her work was featured in the degenerate art exhibition of 1937, and she later became one of the official artists of the apartheid gov. Very collaboratively curated but colonial gaze somewhat reinforced by light touch labels
