This 3-day interdisciplinary symposium is organized to celebrate the centenary of the Bauhaus, one of the world’s most innovative art and design schools and movements, and to highlight its tremendous global influence. The German Bauhaus, known for its hands-on approach and its linear, functional, but elegant forms, was founded on April 1, 1919, in Weimar, and continued to operate during the Weimar Republic until 1933, when numerous artists and architects emigrated. Many moved to the USA and to Chicago, such as Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and László Moholy-Nagy. Perspectives will be shared via presentations, workshops, displays, and performances that illuminate the Bauhaus’ many connections to various disciplines, from art and architecture, theatre, music, dance, and mixed media, to the politics of the Weimar Republic and urbanism in the city of Chicago, and to pedagogical approaches to teaching the Bauhaus and architecture in the German Studies and German Language curriculum.
