Along the Color Line - Spuren einer transatlantischen Moderne Senior*innentreff: Along the Color Line - Spuren einer transatlantischen Moderne

The Museum Ludwig presents a large interdisciplinary overview exhibition that places art of the international Black diaspora in relation to European modernism. A multitude of artworks from the Black diaspora show how, at the beginning of the 20th century, an exchange and engagement between cultures began on an artistic level. In European museums, Black artists are often only weakly represented or not represented at all. This underrepresentation points to deeply rooted colonial and social power relations, whose effects extend into the present. Against this backdrop, the exhibition asks how Black artists, through their works, created new narratives that challenge colonial and Eurocentric ways of seeing. Paintings, sculptures, drawings and photographs play a role here, as do literature and music of the Black diaspora.
