Art on the MOve: Sexualität, Gewalt und die Kunst zum Überleben

Close-up of a person's face

Three short films and a conversation with Amina Maher as part of »Kleiner Freitag«.

Works of art by Max Beckmann and Freya Hattenberger in the MO_Collection presentation reflect on the relationship between sexuality and violence. Iranian filmmaker Amina Maher, who became known for her participation in Abbas Kiarostami’s world-famous film Ten, juxtaposes this with an autobiographically inspired trilogy of short films in which she processes experiences of sexualized violence, trauma, shame, and desire into art.

Body & Soul in Art and Film: A series of events accompanying the MO_Collection presentation »Body & Soul. Thinking, Feeling, Brushing Teeth«
