As part of their installation Vanished Without a Trace? Lyrical Landscapes, which is dedicated to the sometimes-suppressed female poets of the GDR, artists Marie Kublik and Frida Teller are offering an embroidery workshop and a writing workshop during the opening weekend. These will take place on Saturday and Sunday at 11 a.m. each day.

Part of Kublik and Teller’s work involves preserving poetry: embroidering verses—some of which have never been published—by female poets from the GDR. This practice aims to give the writing women of the GDR a public platform.
The embroidery workshop is designed to be a collaborative experience, with time for intergenerational exchange, questions for the artists, and a discussion of the experiences and lived realities of (writing) women in the GDR.

The embroidery workshop will take place on Saturday, August 7, starting at 11 a.m. on Zillestraße in Lauchhammer and will last approximately 2 hours.
Materials and drinks will be provided on site, but we’d love it if you could bring GDR-era home textiles (dish towels, sheets) for embroidery.
