Sites of Interchange: Modernism, Politics, and Culture in Britain and Germany, 1919-1951 (Veranstaltung : 2018 : London)

This conference sets out to explore the connections between British and German culture during the period 1919-1951, in the fields of art, architecture, design and craft, photography, art history and theory, and art pedagogy. How did the British learn from and influence the Germans in these areas? How did the Germans learn from and influence the British? And what is the significance of these cultural connections today? The conference is being organised on the occasion of the London 1938 exhibition project at the Wiener Library in London (13 June to 31 August 2018) and the Liebermann-Villa am Wannsee in Berlin (7 October 2018 to 14 January 2019).
