The DEFA Film Library at the University of Massachusetts Amherst and the Harvard Art Museums present CLAIMING SPACES: Art Interventions in East Germany, a virtual film series showcasing 22 films by or about artists.

Screened in conjunction with the Harvard Art Museums’ special exhibition Made in Germany? Art and Identity in a Global Nation (September 13, 2024–January 5, 2025), this virtual film series offers insight into the art world that existed parallel to official East German art of the late 1970s and 1980s. East Germany’s artistic heritage continues to shape the heterogeneity of German cultural identities, as well as the memory discourse that defines the German art scene today. Through novel and experimental means, these films provide important political and cultural context for the periods before and after the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989.
