    Impressive Dimensions

    The Kunsthaus Dahlem and its surroundings will be explored in a tour – with the body, by drawing and in conversation. Why is everything so big in the Kunsthaus? How does it look from the outside? How do the rooms feel? Through various creative exercises, we gather our own experiences of the place and use them to enter into a conversation about the architecture and history of the house as the former state studio of Arno Breker, Adolf Hitler’s favorite sculptor, and about its current use as Kunsthaus Dahlem. What do you think should happen to such a historic place? Record your ideas and stands in drawings and collages and discuss them with the whole class!

    Morality and art

    The question of morality in art is timeless and is still passionately discussed today. In many cases, artists have seen and still see themselves as taboo breakers who try to expose grievances with artistic means. But according to which extra-artistic evaluations can art be talked about? And when it comes to art from the Nazi era, in which artistic freedom was restricted to a narrow framework, do other criteria apply? Together we will consider how to deal with this topic and the works of artists from that time. Is there art that should not or should not be shown in a museum context? Who decides on this? And what do various opponents and supporters of a museum presentation of Nazi art have to say? In this workshop we dare to experiment and slip into the role of a curator. In doing so, we will also ask ourselves about the responsibility of a historically influenced exhibition venue such as the Kunsthaus Dahlem.

    Language and art

    The Kunsthaus Dahlem is a place of critical remembrance of the Nazi dictatorship. Which languages were allowed to be spoken in schools at that time was determined ideologically. Today, it is one of the rights of children to be allowed to speak their own language. What does that mean for your everyday life? In the workshop we use language as artistic material to formulate our own stand against today’s exclusions and power mechanisms. Using movement, our voices and fabric banners, we will have an effect on the architecture of the Kunsthaus Dahlem. In group work we create short performances and pictures out of words. The current exhibitions can give us an impression of the possibilities of our own artistic language.

    Censorship and art

    Censorship often means not allowing certain views and opinions. We are constantly confronted with it: in politics, in our everyday lives, and also in art. But where does censorship begin, where does it end? Who decides about it? And what does it mean for democratic societies if we cannot decide freely? In this workshop we will role-play our own experiences: where have we experienced censorship ourselves? Where have we been excluded? And what strategies can we use to react to censorship? The exhibitions at Kunsthaus Dahlem offer us a suitable playing field.
