New Woman, New Vision. Women Photographers of the Bauhaus at Museum für Fotografie Berlin

Outstanding women photographers have been around since the invention of photography in the early 19th century. They experimented with photographic and artistic techniques and probed the boundaries of the new medium.

So too did the women photographers of the Bauhaus. With this exhibition at the Museum für Fotografie, the Bauhaus-Archiv celebrates the significant contribution of these women artists and their photographic oeuvre for the first time. Three contemporary women artists engage in dialogue with the historic photographs. The exhibition is complemented by an accompanying programme.
