About “The Women of the Bauhaus” (2019, Germany)
Bauhaus is the home of the avant-garde and the foundation of modern architecture. Today, almost 100 years after being founded, the Bauhaus-masters continue to be the stars of the architecture and design history. However, the (his)story of the Bauhaus remains male dominated. Only experts know the names of the female contributors of the art school, even though a great part of its innovative potential goes to its women. The documentary “Bauhausfrauen” is a homage to the forgotten Bauhauswomen and shows: The Bauhaus idea is alive and is also HERstory.
Directed by Suzanne Raedelhof (2019, Germany), 43 minutes.
The screening will be introduced by cultural journalist Ingvilda Strautmane.
Ingvilda Strautmane currently hosts the Latvian Radio programmes “Kultūras rondo” and “Radio mazā lasītava”, while pursuing a PhD at Rīga Stradiņš University, researching the relationship between power and the media. She also has experience working in television, print media, and museums.
Her particular interest in the German-speaking cultural sphere stems from her education at the Riga State German Grammar School (formerly Zenta Ozola Riga Secondary School No. 5) and her master’s studies in Cultural and Media Management – a joint programme of the Latvian Academy of Culture and the Hamburg University of Music and Theatre.
She has also translated Dorothea Kühl-Martini’s book “Merilina – An Papst Johannes XXIII., Briefe zwischen Himmel und Hölle” from German.
