JM Journeys: Modernity and Opulence: Women of the Weiner Werkstatte
For Participants with Dementia and their Care Partners
Participants with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias and their care partners are invited to join a lively and creative program that encourages personal connections to original works of art and each other. This program will explore Modernity and Opulence: Women of the Wiener Werkstätte through facilitated discussions, multi-sensory experiences, and an art workshop.
Modernity and Opulence: Women of the Wiener Werkstätte sheds new light on the role that Jewish women played as artists, designers, patrons, and tastemakers in early 20th-century Vienna. This exhibition contains clothing, textiles, ceramics, toys, paintings, and more designed by this collective whose style and ideas helped shape visions of modernity in Vienna and beyond.
This program is also offered virtually.
