Kunst und Kampf im Bruderland - Art and Conflict in Brotherland
The creation of transnational art has become a matter of course in our globalised world. But what did the art produced by migrants in East Germany look like? The publication throws light on topics such as the cultural diplomacy of the GDR and its effects, the working conditions of contract workers and the taboo subject of racism.

description
Foreign artists from the socialist brotherlands including Egypt, Ethiopia, Israel and Uruguay studied at the art academies of the GDR. What became of them, and why do they not appear in the reviews of East German art? Their works have now become the centre of focus. At the same time the immigration history and the memory of reunification from the perspective of East German migrants is recounted. The current perspective is complemented by the positions of young artists of colour of the second and third generations with biographical connections with the GDR.
