“The Power of Emotions" Lecture and Exhibit with Dr. Ute Frevert

This exhibition takes present-day manifestations of 20 emotions as a starting point and shows how these have developed during the 20th century: conjunctures, change and continuities. In the 2019 year of remembrance, the exhibition and talk will address continuities and gaps in the emotions that have shaped the last 100 years, the intensity of which is now presenting a challenge for politics and society. On Wednesday, September 18 at 6:30 pm.

Film|Neu 2019

We are very excited to announce the 27th edition of Film|Neu, Washington’s annual festival of new films from Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. The festival will take place November 14 through November 17. This year’s films explore the challenges that come with pursuing ambitious dreams, remaining true to oneself in the face of great change, and being an outsider determined to find belonging somewhere – or to remain a misfit.
