Vernissage "Putin in Altranft" - Vernissage "A Cloth of Homelands" - Salon Talk Art in the Oderbruch - Open Museum Workshop
Under the joint heading "Altranft between War and Peace" we present two art projects as part of Kulturland Brandenburg 2020 - War and Peace: With "Putin in Altranft," the Oderbruch Museum, together with the draftswoman Johanna Benz, is devoting itself to memories of the presence of the Red Army in Altranft from the immediate postwar period until the withdrawal of Soviet forces in the early 1990s. In the castle park, 22 drawings will be on display in an exhibition. The room installation "Ein Tuch der Heimaten" by Antje Scholz and Julius Breitenfeld in the Altranft church is dedicated to questions of flight and expulsion and links memories of war refugees after the Second World War with reports from people who have come to the Oderbruch as refugees today. For this, Antje Scholz embroidered many small cloths of people from the Oderbruch and sewed them into a large cloth, under whose sky a sound collage can be heard, for which Julius Breitenfeld spoke with refugees from Syria and Chechnya, but also Ukraine and Belarus. What constitutes the Oderbruch as an artistic object and as a place for artists to live and work will be explored in the afternoon in a discussion with the Kulturladen Wilhelmsaue, which has helped shape the art landscape in the Oderbruch for many years. New works will be on display in the picture salon, and in the museum workshop young and old can explore the landscape themselves using artistic techniques.
