SUMMARY:Between Two Worlds
DESCRIPTION:Fred Uhlman\, Welsh Cottage\, 1958\nBuxton Museum and Art Gallery\, Buxton\nArt that shines a spotlight on a time when communities and artists were affected by war and persecution is on show at Buxton Museum and Art Gallery. \nBetween Two Worlds explores the early to mid-20th century when governments sought to impose Western society and religion\, depriving communities of their cultural identity. \nIn the turmoil of war artists were persecuted\, interned and displaced. They faced discrimination and prejudice when not conforming on religious beliefs\, racism or sexuality. \nBetween Two Worlds explores the art created during this tumultuous period featuring work by John Minton\, Fred Uhlman\, Josef Herman and Ben Enwonwu. It draws exhibits from Derbyshire County Council’s collection\, such as the bequest of Arto Funduklian\, the son of Armenian émigrés\, including work by Marc Chagall\, Duncan Grant and Wyndham Lewis.

SUMMARY:The Fashion Revolution: From Berlin to London
DESCRIPTION:Kings Place\, Hall 2\nA panel discussion focussing on two new publications\, with Daniel Snowman\, Michael Gee\, Uwe Westphal\, author of Fashion Metropolis Berlin1836-1939: The Story of the Rise and Destruction of the Jewish Fashion Industry and Anna Nyburg\, author of The Clothes on our Backs: How Refugees from Nazism Revitalised the British Fashion Trade. \nNineteenth century Berlin was the creative centre for fashion and ready-to-wear clothing. Berlin’s clothing companies made modern apparel and developed new designs that were sold not only throughout Germany\, but worldwide. But when Hitler came to power in 1933\, the city’s mainly Jewish clothing industrialists were robbed\, displaced or murdered\, while their companies were ‘Aryanized’. What happened to those who escaped to Britain – and how did they revolutionise fashion in the UK? \n

SUMMARY:Modernist Hampstead Walk
DESCRIPTION:Meeting: Hampstead Tube Station\nDiscover the revolutionary Modernist homes and idealistic architecture built in Hampstead in the 1930s such as The Sun House by Maxwell Fry\, and 66 Frognal by Connell Ward and Lucas. Much of the architecture echoed design trends in Europe and the walk includes passing housing by the émigré architects Ernst Freud and Erno Goldfinger. Elements of eighteenth-century architectural design were also an influence for some architects. \nPassing some more recent examples and of course striking non modernist Hampstead buildings\, this walk will finish at the iconic and idealistic Isokon flats in Belsize Park. Here you can discover how the émigré designers accommodated here in 1930s\, were so important for Isokon. \nLed by Marilyn Greene\, Hampstead local historian\, curator and guide \n\n11.00am-1.00pm

SUMMARY:Jacques & Jacqueline Groag: Architect & Designer
DESCRIPTION:Isokon Gallery\, London\n  \nJacques Groag\, architect and furniture designer\, and Jacqueline Groag\, textile and pattern designer\, were two celebrated residents of the Isokon in the 1940s and early 1950s\, yet due to split residence between three countries\, which often did not communicate with each other in the 20th century\, the tremendous scope of work of these second-wave Viennese Modernists has only recently become known. \nThis exhibition covers their individual careers in Vienna and Czechoslovakia\, their lives as Jewish émigrés to London\, their collaborations\, and the couple’s unique contributions in Britain to postwar exhibitions\, monuments\, furniture and textile design. The Isokon exhibition describes the Groags’ remarkable range of contacts that included Josef Hoffman\, Ludwig Wittgenstein\, Adolf Loos and Trude Fleischmann\, while the display is copiously illustrated with many of their pre- and post-war works including commissions ranging from the Austrian Werkbundsiedlung\, to the Festival of Britain\, Gordon Russell\, Swan & Edgar\, Heal’s\, Colibri and Schiaparelli. Jacqueline\, some of whose original textiles are on show\, even created the fabric for a dress worn by the future Elizabeth II. \nThe book Two Hidden Figures of the Viennese Modern Movement by Ursula Prokop will be on sale at the Gallery throughout the season.

SUMMARY:Naum Gabo
DESCRIPTION:Naum Gabo\, Head No.2 1916\, enlarged version 1964. The Work of Naum Gabo © Nina & Graham Williams / Tate. Photo: Kirstin Prisk.\nTate St Ives\, Cornwall\nTate St Ives presents this major exhibition of one of the pioneers of constructivism\, Naum Gabo. This is the first extensive presentation of his sculptures\, paintings\, drawings and architectural designs to be held in the UK for over 30 years\, and marks the centenary of the Realistic Manifesto 1920\, a set of pioneering artistic principles launched in Moscow by Gabo and his brother Antoine Pevsner. The exhibition offers a fresh perspective on Gabo’s ground-breaking experiments\, which made time\, space and synthetic materials the key building blocks of modernist art practice. The development of these ideas is shown through Gabo’s innovative use of plastic in sculpture and stage design\, his activation of abstract forms in time-based art\, and his paintings and prints. Gabo lived in the UK between 1935 and 1946\, living first in Hampstead and then in St.Ives before moving to the USA.

SUMMARY:*Postponed* Another Eye: Women Refugee Photographers in Britain after 1933
DESCRIPTION:Dorothy Bohm: Petticoat Lane Market\, London\, 1960s. Copyright Dorothy Bohm Archive.\nFour Corners Gallery\, London\n  \n*POSTPONED DUE TO THE CORONAVIRUS SITUATION*\n  \nThis Women’s History Month\, we celebrate some remarkable women who escaped Nazi persecution and helped to transform Britain’s photography scene. \nDuring the 1930s\, more than 80\,000 refugees came to Britain from Nazi-dominated Europe.  Amongst those escaping anti-Semitic and political persecution were a surprising number of women photographers. Often established practitioners\, these women brought fresh\, modernist perspectives that opened up British photography in the decades that followed. \nANOTHER EYE is the first UK exhibition to showcase this group of women\, exploring both their collective influence and inspiring personal stories. It is an opportunity to see original prints by established photographers\, including Dorothy Bohm\, Edith Tudor-Hart\, Elsbeth Juda and Gerti Deutsch\, and to discover new work by lesser-known practitioners like Elisabeth Chat\, Laelia Goehr and Erika Koch. \nFaced with the traumas of exile\, leaving behind their livelihoods and their loved ones\, these enterprising photographers overcame personal struggles to build new lives in Britain. Many re-established their studios\, producing portraits of Britain’s prominent cultural figures. Some worked in social-reportage\, documenting issues of the day for magazines like Picture Post and Lilliput. Others turned to commercial work in fashion\, advertising and publishing. \nANOTHER EYE explores how the experiences of these women refugee photographers played a significant role in representing post-war Britain. \n  \nTues-Sat: 11.00-18.00\nThurs 11.00-20.00 \n

SUMMARY:Isokon and the Bauhaus in Britain
DESCRIPTION:Burgh House & Hampstead Museum\, London\nBuilt in 1934 for Jack and Molly Pritchard\, the Isokon building by Wells Coates\, formerly known as Lawn Road Flats\, was England’s first modernist apartment building\, and was hugely influential in pioneering the concept of minimal living.

SUMMARY:The Missing: The True Story of My Family in World War II - Book Launch
DESCRIPTION:The Wiener Holocaust Library\, London\nBy turns charming\, shocking and heart-breaking\, this is the true story of Michael Rosen’s search for his relatives who “went missing” during the Second World War – told through prose\, poetry\, maps\, and pictures. When Michael was growing up\, stories often hung in the air about his great-uncles: one was a clock-mender and the other a dentist. They were there before the war\, he would say\, and weren’t after. \nOver many years\, Michael tried to find out exactly what happened: he interviewed family members\, scoured the internet\, pored over books and traveled to America and France. The story he uncovered was one of terrible persecution – and it has inspired his poetry for years since. Here\, poems old and new are balanced against an immensely readable narrative; both an extraordinary account and a powerful tool for talking to children about the Holocaust. \nMichael will be in conversation with the Library’s Senior Curator and Head of Education\, Dr Barbara Warnock.

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

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: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: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: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: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: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: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
