Heartfield yesterday?
Heartfield today!
Lecture, Concert, Performance
Using photomontage, John Heartfield attempted to defeat Adolf Hitler on the battlefield of propaganda during his exile in Prague (1933–1938). But after the end of the Second World War, the artist summarised in 1964 “Unfortunately still relevant”.
Can art help to resolve conflicts today? Artists, locals and guests come together at the photomonteur's summer house to celebrate contradiction, beauty and the unexpected.
