Women’s Struggles in Bauhaus
02.11.2019 │ 15:00-16:00 │JC Studio Theatre, The Fringe Club
In this session, German writer Theresia Enzensberger will be talking to Dr. Anna Katharina Grasskamp about her book Blueprint. This is a story about a girl studying art at the Bauhaus architecture school as she attempts to make her way within the tumultuous art world of the Weimar Republic. Praised for its distinctive, sober and feminist tone, Enzensberger’s debut novel deals with the struggles of a woman finding her way in a male-dominated art world.
What is Female?
03.11.2019 │ 16:30-17:30 │Library, Goethe-Institut Hongkong
Theresia Enzensberger’s novel Blueprint is set in the Weimar Republic during a fleeting period of liberation and expression. It tells the story of a young woman struggling to reconcile ideas of love and feminism amidst the intrigue of the Bauhaus architecture school. Shelley Wood’s The Quintland Sisters is told from the perspective of a young midwife and relates the heartbreaking true story of the world’s first surviving quintuplets, who were taken away from their parents by the government after birth. Both Enzensberger and Wood challenge our expectations and conceptions of women. In collaboration with the Hong Kong Literary Festival, join these two writers for an insightful conversation on modern feminism and its redefinition. This session will be moderated by Elizabeth LaCouture.
