"The Mitte Museum is a communal museum that focuses on local history. There you'll get an insight into Jürgen Wittdorf and Andreas Fux's biographies-both of them had a lot to do with Mitte."
"Wittdorf used to teach drawing in the Podewil and in the Haus des Lehrers. He used to draw during these lessons and some of the nudes and portraits that came into existence in the 80s and 90s will be on display."
"We spent an evening in his archive and found hundreds of previously unseen treasures, of which a selection will be shown for the first time ever in the Mitte Museum."
The exhibition 'QUEER ART IN THE GDR? Biographies between Underground and Propaganda' examines East German identity through the lives of artists like Harry Hachmeister and Toni Ebel. It poses questions about the influence of socialization systems and politics on individual creation. The exhibition features different locations, including the Mitte Museum, which highlights local history and showcases previously unseen works by artists from the 1980s and 90s. The narratives presented connect past experiences to current societal issues.
