Upcoming
Eight days after the general election, we will discuss the (preliminary?) results, place November 3 in historical perspective, and look ahead at the immediate and long-term consequences in a radically divided country with Ellen DuBois, Emeritus Professor of History and Gender Studies at UCLA, Brenda Stevenson, the Nickoll Family Endowed Chair in the Department of History and Professor of African American Studies at UCLA, and Joes Segal, the Wende Museum's Chief Curator and Director of Programming.
Join the Wende Museum, in partnership with the Museum of Russian Icons, for a look at their current exhibition Playground of the Autocrats: Works by Anne Bobroff-Hajal. Bobroff-Hajal has drawn on animation techniques, icons, and formats such as graphic novels to tell stories of Russian geography and history.
To shed light on the ways Cold War history impacted human lives, the Fiona Chalom and Joel Aronowitz Historical Witness Project has been gathering oral histories from those who lived in the Eastern Bloc during the period from 1945 to 1991.
This event will be a live interview conducted virtually between Andrei Markovits and Mark Valley. Opening remarks will be given by Justinian Jampol, Founder and Executive Director of the Wende Museum.
Join us for the fourth Art Past Present with Mariam Ghani–artist, writer, and filmmaker. Her work looks at places, spaces, and moments where social, political, and cultural structures take on visible forms, and spans multiple disciplines.
PLEASE NOTE: This event has been postponed and a new date will be announced shortly.
