Two experts exchange views on central themes of the exhibition Schwedische Moderne and relate them to current questions from art, science and activism. With Ximena Ferrer Pizarro (artist) and Tanja-Bianca Schmidt (art educator and art historian).
What stories do pictures tell, and from which perspectives? This tour invites you to question familiar ways of seeing painting. Together, the motifs, pictorial worlds and painting methods of Swedish Modernism are explored. In doing so, the question is pursued of which social ideas and power relations are revealed in the pictures, and how we can look at them differently today.
Ximena Ferrer Pizarro (born in Lima) paints stories in which her figures fight for the visibility that was historically denied to them and their ancestors.
