SUMMARY:Jacques & Jacqueline Groag
DESCRIPTION:Isokon Gallery\, Lawn Road\, London\n\n\nJacques Groag (1892–1962) was a prominent architect and interior designer\, originally from Moravia\, now in the Czech Republic\, but later living in Vienna. His wife was the textile designer Jacqueline Groag (1903-1986)\, born Hilde Pick in Prague\, who had trained under Josef Hoffmann. They moved into Lawn Road Flats in 1939 after first fleeing the Anschluss of Austria in 1938 and then the annexation of Czechoslovakia in 1939. \nIn Britain\, Jacques worked on the Utility Furniture program under Sir Gordon Russell\, was the main exhibition designer for the 1946 Britain Can Make It exhibition at the V&A\, and worked with his wife on the 1951 Festival Of Britain\, but he never designed another building again after arriving in Britain. His wife on the other hand was the most successful British textile designer of the postwar era\, only equalled by Lucienne Day. Jacqueline was made an RDI (Royal Designer for Industry) in 1984\, two years before her death. \nUrsula Prokop is a doctor of history and art at the University of Vienna\, and the author of the recently published book Jacques and Jacqueline Groag\, Architect and Designer: Two Hidden Figures of the Viennese Modern Movement. She will be joined in conversation with Tel Aviv architect Shmuel Groag\, Jacques and Jacqueline’s great-nephew. \n\n\n  \n\n18.30–20.30

SUMMARY:Summit Dance Theatre & Ali Curtis-Jones
DESCRIPTION:Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance\, Old Royal Naval College\, London\nSummit Dance Theatre and choreographer Alison Curtis‑Jones give two works by Rudolf Laban a contemporary twist and new lease of life. Curtis-Jones re-imagines Laban’s work to create a new living archive\, reinvigorating Laban’s principles and archeo-choreological research. Drumstick\, the rhythm of the body made audible\, sees Summit DT dancers determine rhythmic phrasing of movement live on stage with musicians composing the sound score in real time\, responding to what they see. The second work\, Nacht is a political satire depicting the underbelly of Berlin’s Weimar period and the love of dollars\, deceit and depravity.

SUMMARY:Art Workshop: Barbara Jackson
DESCRIPTION:New North London Synagogue\, London\nWorkshop: with Barbara Jackson\n \nThis workshop is based on thinking about the words Insiders/Outsiders. One could say that those words describe the condition of being Jewish. Until the State of Israel gave us a homeland again\, we were perceived – and often treated – as a people who were ‘other’\, ‘passing through’\, ‘not one of us’\, however much we enriched and adorned the countries we lived in.Do you have views and images you would like to express visually and/or verbally around this topic? Then come and join us!Places are limited and must be booked in advance: \n  \nBook online \n

SUMMARY:Inspiration & Processes: Janet Haig
DESCRIPTION:Hampstead School Of Art\nJanet Haig is a Hampstead-based ceramicist\, whose unique hand-crafted vessels and stoneware torsos have been shown in many galleries and featured in boutiques and magazines. Her work can be found in private and public collections\, including that of the Jewish Museum\, London. Characterised by their densely encrusted and corroded surfaces and organic forms\, they are clearly inspired by the many and varied wonders of nature. \nJanet Haig was born in Poland\, and experienced the hardships of the war years in a Siberian prison camp with her mother\, later discovering that their closest family had perished in the Holocaust. She studied painting in Australia and settled in the UK in 1962. \nHaig has revealed that her first inspiration might go back as far as those harsh days in Siberia: “My mother was able to take one object with her [to Siberia] and she suddenly saw this little pot (I still have it in my possession)\, which she grabbed hold of because\, as I was a baby\, she thought it would be useful to warm things up. It’s enamel\, blue on the outside\, white on the inside and maybe that has had some kind of inspiration on my pots.” \nA Ceramic Conversation – a talk amongst the ceramic works \nThursday 5th December: 7.00pm \nJoin Janet Haig\, as she discusses her work.

SUMMARY:The Promise
DESCRIPTION:JW3\, London\nScreening of a new film about artist and holocaust survivor Roman Halter\, followed by a Q&A. \n  \n“Promise me” said the dying grandfather to the 12 year old boy “that when you survive you will tell the whole world what was done to us.” The film ‘The Promise’ is Roman Halter’s answer to his pleading grandfather. Working in collaboration with the award winning film makers Fred Scott ‘The Promise’ is an extraordinary story: of commitment to a promise\, of personal courage and of the power of art to convey a deeper understanding of history and human loss. Roman survived the Lodz ghetto\, Auschwitz and Stutthof camps and after the war he settled in London and became a prominent artist whose works are displayed in London’s major galleries including the Tate and the National Gallery. \nHe used his paintings\, drawings and stained glass work to convey the terrors of the Nazi ‘Final Solution.’ Roman Halter died in 2012. This film is his extraordinary story and an enduring testament to the evils of anti-semitism and totalitarianism. \nQ&A with Ardyn Halter (Roman’s son)\, Fred Scott and Rabbi Jonathan Wittenberg.

SUMMARY:Bye Bye Bauhaus
DESCRIPTION:Paul and Marjorie Abbatt Play Tray\, designed by Freda Skinner\, c. 1935\nUniversity of Westminster School of Architecture\, London\nA Twentieth Century Society Symposium \nAs the Bauhaus Centenary year comes to its close\, what is left to say? The Bye Bye Bauhaus day symposium\, offers new perspectives and stories that have not yet been told\, concerning design in Germany and Britain during the past century. \nThe programme opens with Richard Hollis on the Belgian Art Nouveau designer Henry van de Velde\, the subject of his new book and Professor Gerald Adler\, the English expert on Heinrich Tessenow. The morning concludes with three speakers on subjects relating to design\, with Tanya Harrod on the Bauhaus enthusiasms of the English handweaver\, Ethel Mairet\, Sophie Jump\, theatre designer and scenographer\, on the little-known collaboration between Marcel Breuer and the costume design group\, Motley\, in 1930s London\, followed by Dr Anna Nyburg\, on ‘Exiles and Textiles’\, the little-known story of official British support for manufacturers fleeing Nazi Germany. \nThe afternoon programme includes Valeria Carullo\, Curator\, The Robert Elwall Photographs Collection\, RIBA British Architectural Library\, speaking on the RIBA Refugee Committee. She is followed by Dr David Haney\, author of When Modern was Green\, 2010\, who considers the afterlife of the Trade Union School at Bernau by the second Bauhaus director\, Hannes Meyer\, and Professor Frederic Schwartz of UCL who asks ‘What was the Bauhaus?’ – a question that becomes more difficult to answer the more we hear about it. \nThe final session introduces five lesser-known Bauhäusler in Britain: Jilly Allenby on her grandfather\, the sculptor Johannes Ilmari Auerbach; Marcus Williamson on René Halkett\, painter\, designer broadcaster and lyricist for the punk band Bauhaus; John Allan on the graphic designer George Adams (Teltscher)\, Rachel Dickson on puppeteer Werner ‘Jacky’ Jackson and Danyel Gilgan on his grandfather\, the maker and teacher Wilfred Franks. \n  \n\nTwentieth Century Society Members: £40; Non-members: £50; Students with valid ID: £25 \nTickets include refreshments with sandwich lunch and post-conference drinks. \nBooking \n9.30am – 7.00pm

SUMMARY:Hollow Triumph: CineClub
DESCRIPTION:Austrian Cultural Forum London\nBased on Murray Forbes’ story of the same title\, the film follows John Muller (Paul Henreid) on his escape from mobsters out of the frying pan into the fire. The protagonist’s cynical view of human blindness provides for quite an ironic and surprising ending to this true noir. Paul Henreid plays the intelligent\, somewhat arrogant John Muller with bravoure. \nUS 1948\, 83 minutes\, directed by Steve Sekely and Paul Henreid (uncredited)\, starring Paul Henreid

SUMMARY:Ernst Schoen – the life of an anti-fascist radio pioneer
DESCRIPTION:Still Life with Head\, Willi Baumeister\, 1930\nBishopsgate Institute\, London\nTaking the form of a live radio presentation\, this evening will highlight the fascinating life of Ernst Schoen (1884–1960)\, radio practitioner\, writer\, composer and lifelong anti-fascist\, as presented by Dr Esther Leslie and Dr Sam Dolbear. \nErnst Schoen\, the director of Radio Frankfurt\, was arrested in 1934 for crimes against the Third Reich\, which included the protection and encouragement of Jewish and Socialist colleagues. During his time as a radio producer and radio station manager in Weimar Germany\, Schoen had developed\, in collaboration with his school friend Walter Benjamin and others such as Bertolt Brecht\, Hanns Eisler and Anton von Webern\, a radical sound and radio practice aimed at the dissemination of communist principles through avant-garde techniques. \nEscaping to London\, Schoen continued his work as a radical socialist activist and writer from exile. Having studied music with Ferruccio Busoni and Edgard Varèse\, Schoen was also a composer and some of his beautiful 12-tone compositions will be presented separately at a free lunchtime concert on 20 March 2020 in the Great Hall at Bishopsgate Institute.

Some fitted in quickly and became insiders: Nobel Prize winning scientists like Ernst Chain and Max Born\, filmmakers like Alexander Korda and Emeric Pressburger\, writers like Arthur Koestler and thinkers like Isaiah Berlin and Karl Popper. But others remained outsiders\, many for the rest of their lives: Expressionist artists\, Yiddish poets\, Marxists\, maverick historians like Norbert Elias\, those who couldn’t learn English like the theatre critic Alfred Kerr.

SUMMARY:Refuge and Renewal: Migration and British Art
DESCRIPTION:Heinz Koppel (1919-1980)\, Sari\, 1959. Tempera and oil on canvas\, 153x102cm\, private collection\nRoyal West of England Academy\nThis major touring exhibition\, curated by Dr Peter Wakelin\, is a timely exploration of the impact of artist refugees on art in Britain\, taking a perspective across the last 150 years. \nThe migration of creative individuals and groups has always been a source of innovation and cultural cross-fertilisation. This exhibition’s main focus is the crucial influence of émigrés who came from eastern and central Europe during the 1930s and 1940s. It explores how they were perceived by their peers in Britain and the extent to which their influence excited or inspired new art. \nExhibited artists include Joan Eardley\, Naum Gabo\, Humberto Gatica-Leyton\, Mona Hatoum\, Barbara Hepworth\, Josef Herman\, Samira Kitman\, Josef Koudelka\, Hanaa Malallah\, Ben Nicholson\, Camille Pissarro\, Zory Shahrokhi\, Kurt Schwitters and Walid Siti. It looks back to the temporary exile of refugees from the First World War and forward to the present\, when the reception of refugees and their contributions to British life are more contentious than ever. \nMany of the artists present extraordinary and deeply moving stories of escape from dispossession\, persecution\, torture\, intellectual oppression and war. The welcome for foreign artists has not always been positive and has included critical hostility\, financial difficulties\, personal tragedy and even internment\, yet they have often exerted a remarkably direct influence on British contemporaries. \nA substantial book by Peter Wakelin\, published by Sansom & Co. will accompany the exhibition.

SUMMARY:Talk: Judith Kerr
DESCRIPTION:Talk: with David Herman \nThe recent death of the famous children’s writer\, Judith Kerr\, an old family friend\, received an enormous amount of attention. Many of her best-known books have been loved by generations of young children. Tributes pointed out that she was a German Jewish refugee. What tended to be missing\, though\, was a careful reading of her famous autobiographical trilogy about coming to England as a refugee and what this tells us about the experience of refugees from Nazism\, in particular the darker side of the refugee experience.David Herman is the son of two refugees from central Europe and has written widely on the experience and impact of Jewish refugees. \nSHABBAT: 3.45pm \nAt Rabbi Wittenberg’s home

SUMMARY:Child Survivors' Drawings of the Genocide in Darfur
DESCRIPTION:At the top of the drawing\, the first stage of the attacks is shown: Sudanese government air forces bombarded the towns and villages of non-Arab Darfuris. The bombs were sometimes incendiary\, sometimes full of nails. This drawing\, by a young boy\, graphically depicts all aspects of the attack that he experienced\nReading Room\, The Wiener Holocaust Library\, London\nThis exhibition features drawings by child survivors of the genocide and ethnic cleansing perpetrated by Sudanese government forces and the Janjaweed militia against non-Arab Darfuri people since 2003. \nThe drawings have been donated to The Wiener Holocaust Library by Waging Peace\, a human rights organisation that campaigns against genocide and abuses in Sudan. \nThe drawings provide important evidence about the nature of the atrocities committed in Darfur\, produced by some of the youngest victims. \nThe Collection of Evidence by Waging Peace \nIn 2007\, Waging Peace’s anonymous researcher gathered evidence and testimonies from Darfuri refugees in refugee camps in Chad. The researcher initially collected testimonies from adults\, who told her that their children had witnessed the atrocities committed by Sudanese government forces and Janjaweed militia. The researcher gave paper and pencils to children aged between 6 and 18 and asked them to record what their dreams for the future were and what their strongest memory was. \nThe majority of the children drew pictures of attacks on their villages. \nIn 2009\, the International Criminal Court accepted the five hundred drawings collected by Waging Peace as contextual evidence of the crimes committed in Darfur. The pattern that emerges from these drawings corroborates other evidence about the attacks in Darfur and contradicts the account given by the Government of Sudan to the ICC. \nWaging Peace donated the documents to The Wiener Library in 2014. In 2019\, The Library accepted a further donation of drawings by children who have faced persecution by Sudanese government forces in the Nuba Mountains in southern Sudan\, along with petitions produced in refugee camps in Darfur calling for the prosecution of the perpetrators of human rights violations\, and eyewitness testimonies from adults who experienced the violence in Darfur collected in refugee camps in Chad. \n

SUMMARY:From Heartfield to Memes: Lessons from History
DESCRIPTION:John Heartfield\, Krieg und Leichen – Die letzte Hoffnung der Reichen\, 1932\nFour Corners gallery\, London\nCritical photomontage seems to be making a comeback as meme. Made from reconfigured and recombined photographs (among other things)\, memes can be posted\, circulated\, and re-circulated in the digital age with a speed\, ease\, and reach that radical artists such as John Heartfield could only dream of a century ago. That digital facility is accompanied by certain conceptual facility\, however\, whose political message and tactics often verge on the simplistic\, the vulgar\, the ephemeral. This talk will explore some of the crucial complexities of Heartfield’s popular\, mass-circulation photomontages that illuminate how much they still have to teach us in the present\, volatile\, technologically-savvy moment. \nSabine Kriebel is the author of ‘Revolutionary Beauty: the radical photomontages of John Heartfield’ and Lecturer in the History of Art at University College Cork. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Holocaust Memorial Day – Songs of Arrival
DESCRIPTION:Henry Watson Music Library\, Manchester Central Library\nAs part of Holocaust Memorial Day\, Manchester Jewish Museum’s song-writing group will present an initial performance of songs inspired by the moving stories of Jewish Refugees arriving in Cheetham in the 1930s and 1940s. We have been working with baritone singer Peter Brathwaite (originally from Cheetham) Israeli opera composer Na’ama Zisser and community composer and saxophonist Joe Steele for the past 6 months to bring to life the real life stories within our oral history collection\, highlighting the experience of those arriving in Cheetham having fled their home countries. \nYou will be able to hear these songs in different areas of the Henry Watson Music Library on the first floor of Manchester Central Library\, alongside some objects brought to Manchester by Jewish refugees. This musical installation will feature songs composed by the museum’s song-writing group\, ESOL students from Abraham Moss Adult Learning Centre and the poignant song ‘Lovesick’ by Na’ama Zisser performed by Peter Brathwaite. Come and experience a different way to honour the sacrifices made and the building of new lives in Cheetham. \nThe event is free and you are welcome to drop in from 4pm-5pm. A longer version of this work\, featuring new songs by Na’ama Zisser will be performed as part of our Festival of Belonging in March.

SUMMARY:Talk: Albert Reuss\, Artist and Refugee
DESCRIPTION:Cathedral Chapter House\, Truro Cathedral\, Cornwall\nSusan Soyinka\, Reuss’s biographer\, in conversation with Revd John Halkes\, who was a personal friend of the artist. \nTo commemorate the 75th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz on 27 January 1945\, Truro Cathedral will be holding an exhibition\, from 9 January to 7 February\, of the paintings of Albert Reuss\, an Austrian Jewish refugee. \nBorn in Vienna in 1889\, he fled to England in 1938 to escape Nazi persecution\, losing family\, possessions and his reputation as an artist. He first settled in St Mawes on the invitation of Cornishman and Quaker\, John Sturge Stephens\, who had helped Reuss and his wife Rosa to escape from Vienna. From 1948 until his death in 1975\, the couple lived in Mousehole. Reuss continued to work as an artist in England\, but his style changed dramatically\, reflecting the trauma he had suffered. This change in his work is evident in the exhibition. \nTo mark Holocaust Memorial Day\, the Cathedral will hold a special service of Evensong at 5.30pm. \nThe entry fee includes a glass of wine or juice served from 7.00pm. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Belonging and not Belonging
DESCRIPTION:Forman Lecture Theatre\, Royal Northern College of Music\, Manchester\nTo coincide with Holocaust Memorial Day 2020\, Monica Bohm-Duchen\, the initiator and Creative Director of the Insiders/Outsiders Festival\, will reflect upon her experience of working on the project\, and Norbert Meyn\, a professional tenor and the initiator of Singing a Song in a Foreign Land will give a talk-cum-recital about his on-going research on émigré musicians and composers. \nDr Norbert Meyn (Royal College of Music) is the Principal Investigator of the new AHRC funded research project Music\, Migration and Mobility which explores the legacy of migrant musicians from Nazi Europe in Britain through practical music making\, archival research and mapping. Norbert will perform a couple of songs by émigré composers Peter Gellhorn (1912-2004) and Karl Rankl (1898-1968) and discuss the challenges in contextualising\, researching and marketing this repertoire today. He will also give an outline of the repertoire written by these emigres in Britain and share his experience from performing this at the RCM and with his professional group\, Ensemble Émigré. \nMonica Bohm-Duchen is a London-based art historian and the initiator and Creative Director of the year-long\, nationwide Insiders/Outsiders Festival\, which celebrates the contribution made to British culture by refugees from Nazi-dominated Europe in a wide range of different media. Monica will explain her motives for undertaking this ambitious project and – since the festival officially ends in March 2020 – consider the ways in which it has been received and the longer-term impact she hopes it will have on keeping the all-important concept of cultural cross-fertilisation firmly in the public eye. \n4.15pm \nFree

SUMMARY:Dissent and Displacement: A Modern Story - Monica Petzal and Margarete Klopfleisch
DESCRIPTION:Monica Petzal: Book burning in Dresden May 1933\nNew Walk Museum and Gallery\, Leicester\nThe exhibition is in two parts: wall-mounted prints by contemporary artist Monica Petzal; and sculptures and works on paper by Margarete Klopfleisch (1911-82). \nMonica Petzal is a painter\, printmaker and art historian who trained at Sussex University\, the Royal College of Art and Camberwell College of Art. She has had a diverse career as a curator\, critic and practicing artist. Her work can be found in public collections including the V&A Museum\, London and New Hall College Art Collection\, University of Cambridge. Full details can be found here. \nMonica has created a body of prints\, which explore not only her family history (her parents’ lived in Dresden during the 1930s) but also the forces of conflict and change which have shaped the cities of Coventry and Dresden\, both of which were heavily bombed in WW2. New works for Leicester will incorporate the story of Leicester’s wartime museum director Trevor Thomas\, as well as ideas around contemporary LGBT identities and modern dissidence. \nMargarete Klopfleisch\, née Grossner\, was a Dresden-born sculptor\, draughtswoman and printmaker. Ill health and the fervent left-wing views which she acquired as a young woman dominated her life. Having joined the German Communist Party in 1931\, she was forced to flee to Prague two years later when the Nazis came to power and joined the Oskar Kokoschka League of Anti-Fascist Artists in 1937. When Hitler’s troops marched into Czechoslovakia\, she fled again. On the 9th March 1939 with the threat of war looming\, she emigrated to England on the last transport to leave the Czech Republic. \nIn England she was employed as a housekeeper by Roland Penrose who in turn helped her with further studies. Here she worked and exhibited with societies such as the Free German League of Culture and the Artists International Association. In 1940\, like many German-Jewish refugees\, she was interned on the Isle of Man. After her release she exhibited in London\, Maidenhead\, Cookham\, Glasgow and Reading. Her sculptures\, many of them carved in wood\, link directly to an expressionist tradition seen in the work of Ernst Barlach\, also represented in the Leicester collections. \nMargarete Klopfleisch\, Despair\, 1941. On loan to New Walk Museum and Art Gallery\, Leicester\nApproximately 35-40 works by Klopfleisch will comprise the second part of the exhibition\, including wood sculptures\, paintings\, drawings and family documents. \n  \nSunday 16 February 2020: Dissent and Displacement Public Seminar Series

SUMMARY:A Stranger in a Strange Land
DESCRIPTION:JW3\, London\nA two day workshop led by Harriett Goldenberg \nThe second part takes place on 23 February 2020 \nWhat are we doing when we make ourselves ‘foreigners’\, be it voluntarily or through necessity\, and what is it like to live away from one’s country of origin? \nWhat are the implications for questions of ‘identity’\, and what becomes of the concept of ‘home’\, particularly in a Brexit climate. \nThese are some of the areas we will look at during this two day experiential workshop\, with particular emphasis on the emotional and psychological processes that come into play. We will call upon our own experiences – both first hand and of others – as well as considering relevant literature. \nThose with an interest in inter-cultural counselling will find this in-depth exploration of the meaning of being a foreigner\, both literal and metaphorical\, of particular value to their work. It will also appeal to individuals wanting to explore their own experience of being ‘strangers in a strange land’. \nMore than 20 years after its inception A Stranger in a Strange Land remains a very powerful and special opportunity to engage with the psychological and emotional processes involved in being a foreigner – an immigrant or a refugee – as well as the less overt sense many people have of being an ‘outsider’\, ‘other’\, ‘different’\, ‘not at home’. \nThe workshop\, open to a maximum of 12 people\, provides a safe space to unpack and share some of the deeply felt experiences of ‘foreigness’ in all its guises\, and an opportunity to gain greater understanding of what is entailed in becoming a foreigner. \nThe fee for the two day workshop is £195.00. \nPlease book directly with Harriett
