Session Submission Type: Panel
This panel considers aspects of cross-cultural interaction between the German Democratic Republic and the Soviet Union in terms of curatorial practice, political photomontage, and architecture. A core theme of the presentations is the challenge that the legacy of the creation and dissolution of the German Democratic Republic creates in establishing a coherent historiography for these cultural interactions and their incorporation into broader cultural histories of the 20th century. This panel has been conceived in response to the general theme of the conference, "25 Years after the Fall of the Berlin Wall: Historical Legacies and New Beginnings."
