Gallery Talk: Gundula Schulze Eldowy’s Berlin on a Dog’s Night

This event does not require registration; see further details below.

Curatorial fellow Peter Murphy will discuss Gundula Schulze Eldowy’s photo series Berlin on a Dog’s Night, which focuses on the youth and elderly, those with and without disabilities, the living and dead. In stark contrast to the East German state’s propaganda of vivacious workers, Schulze Eldowy’s photographs capture everyday East Berliners and examine the affinities and discrepancies of intergenerational identity.
This talk is offered in conjunction with the exhibition Made in Germany? Art and Identity in a Global Nation (September 13, 2024–January 5, 2025).

Led by:
Peter Murphy, Stefan Engelhorn Curatorial Fellow in the Busch-Reisinger Museum, Division of Modern and Contemporary Art
