Exhibition Tour: Made in Germany?

Join the Harvard Art Museum on October 24, at 12pm for an in-depth, hour-long tour of the special exhibition "Made in Germany? Art and Identity in a Global Nation" (September 13, 2024–January 5, 2025). "Made in Germany?" takes an unprecedented look at German art after 1980. Featuring artists from different generations and diverse backgrounds, the exhibition complicates notions of German identity, especially the idea of ethnic and cultural homogeneity. The works on view—many recently acquired—present a range of reflections on German national identity, one shaped by labor migration after World War II, the unification of the Federal Republic of Germany and the German Democratic Republic in 1990, and the influx of asylum seekers since 2015. As the pointedly interrogative title suggests, Made in Germany? asks rather than offers easy answers to the question of who or what represents Germany today.
