Exhibition Tour: Made in Germany? Art and Identity in a Global Nation

Join Harvard Art Museums for an in-depth, hour-long tour of the special exhibition "Made in Germany? Art and Identity in a Global Nation" on Saturday, Sept. 21. "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.

Please check in with museum staff at the Visitor Services desk in the Calderwood Courtyard to request to join the tour. Tours are limited to 18 people and are available on a first-come, first-served basis; registration is not required.
