History and Emotions

Specialist tour led by Alina Gromowa

Specialist tour led by Alina Gromowa (deputy director, Stiftung Neue Synagoge Berlin – Centrum Judaicum)

The exhibition Biographies of Modern Art: Collectors and Their Artworks introduces the eight Jewish collectors whose works are now on view at the Brücke-Museum. The exhibition’s concept is anchored in provenance research, which aims to find and identify artworks stolen by the National Socialist regime. The exhibition honours the collectors for their dedication to modern art and serves as a reminder of the injustices they suffered under the Nazi dicatorship.

During this tour, museum expert Alina Gromova provides insights into her work as deputy director at the Stiftung Neue Synagoge Berlin – Centrum Judaicum and offers participants her perspectives on the current exhibition. How can complex stories of Jewish life be told and exhibited today? What role do emotions play in this process? And what perspectives are relevant to these narratives? Visitors are invited to discuss these as well as other questions with Alina Gromova during her talk moderated by the Brücke-Museum’s outreach curator, Daniela Bryston.

Dr Alina Gromova is the deputy director of the Stiftung Neue Synagoge Berlin – Centrum Judaicum, where she heads the Department of Exhibitions, Collections and Digitalisation. She worked previously for six years as a research assistant in the Academy Programme at the Jüdisches Museum Berlin (Jewish Museum), where she was responsible for subject areas on migration and diversity as well as the Jewish-Islamic Forum. Gromova is focused on new ways of accessing collection work in museums and the role of feelings and emotions in curatorial and collection work, both in analogue and digital contexts.
