"Layered Histories" in Curatorial Practice
Workshop for trainees, master’s students in art history and anyone interested in curatorial approaches to “layered histories”.
Drawing on the current exhibition When Politics Strategised Aesthetics – Works from the National Museum of Modern Art Zagreb 1945–1960 at Kunsthaus Dahlem, the workshop invites participants to understand curatorial practice not as neutral presentation, but as an active (re-)construction of history and meaning.
The exhibition focuses on Socialist Yugoslavia after 1945, a period in which artistic production was shaped by shifting political and ideological conditions. Following the break with Stalinism in 1948, Yugoslavia gradually opened toward Western modernism, leading to a complex transition from socialist realism to abstraction.
Using the concept of “layered histories”, the workshop examines how different historical perspectives, political narratives, institutional frameworks and personal memories overlap within exhibitions. Particular attention will be given to the role of curatorial framing and the historical specificity of Kunsthaus Dahlem itself as a site marked by multiple historical layers.
Participation is free of charge.
Registration is possible until 29 May 2026 via email at .
Facilitated by Philine Pahnke (Curator, Kunsthaus Dahlem), Lovre Mrduljaš (Researcher), Gloria Freiler (Academic Trainee, Kunsthaus Dahlem) and Yevheniia Havrylenko (Curator, Kunsthaus Dahlem)
