Pictures Make People

A Museum Visit for People with Dementia and their Companions

Porzellan (Ausstellungsexemplar) von Izhar Patkin, New York, 2000 – Eine Collage aus Papier namens Porzellan von Izhar Patkin aus dem Jahr 2000. Man kann Teile einer hellen Kanne, eine Pflanzenranke und ein Gesicht von der Seite erkennen.

Experience a cozy and inspiring after­noon in the Jewish Museum Berlin! On entry, we’ll invite you to have coffee and freshly baked challah. Challah (Hebrew for braided yeast bread) is eaten on Friday evening, which is when the Shabbat begins according to the Jewish calendar.

While enjoying this culinary treat, we will get to know each other, handle some objects and share what Friday evening means for the partici­pants, and which bread is the most delicious.

Afterwards, we will visit the exhibition room "Pictures Make People" and look at three paintings from the nineteenth century together. There, we will talk about “Chess in the Salon” and “Celebrating­respectively”.

On the topic of “Chess in the Salon”, we will plunge into the Berlin of the nine­teenth century, learn about the philosopher Moses Mendels­sohn and salon culture, and question the role of the game of chess. The paintings on the topic “Celebrating” allow us to dip into a private family celebration and an extra­vagant festival.

The exhibition visit will be en­hanced with musical accents and the oppor­tunity to handle physical objects. Seating will be made available in the exhibition.

 

The event is being held in cooperation with the Alzheimer Gesellschaft Berlin e.V.
