Kombodschanisch-deutsche und andere Verflechtungen

In the organizer's words:

The artists Lilla von Puttkamer and Vera Lossau in conversation with Ludwig Seyfarth

What is the reality for art, especially for women, in Cambodia? Lilla von Puttkamer (Berlin) and Vera Lossau (Düsseldorf) wanted to find out. So they traveled to the country several times and initiated an intensive exchange with local women artists in cooperation with the Goethe Center. In addition to a publication, this resulted in several joint exhibitions in Cambodia and Germany; this year, another will follow at Schloss Biesdorf in Berlin.

The two artists report on the not always easy realization of these projects, present the works shown there and the actions carried out. They will also provide information about the network of female artists they co-founded, which is growing from year to year. The networking and exchange with female artists in many other countries influences their own artistic work. This will be demonstrated using specific examples, such as Lilla von Puttkamer's contribution to the Frozen Mirrors exhibition.
