As part of the Triennial of Modernism, we are presenting two centennial projects: Invisible Bauhaus Dessau and, in cooperation with Stadtarchiv Dessau-Roßlau, and 1925 – Das Bauhaus kommt nach Dessau (The Bauhaus Comes to Dessau).
In 1925/26 the Bauhaus Building and the Masters’ Houses had not yet been built, but Bauhaus members were already living and working in the city. Invisible Bauhaus Dessau combines digital tours with on-site analogue information, highlighting Bauhaus locations in the city that are no longer visible today.
The readings hosted by the Stadtarchiv Dessau-Roßlau, the city archive, likewise explore the beginnings of the Dessau Bauhaus. They shed light on the social context of a growing industrial city shaped by bourgeois and proletarian interests.
