Henrike Naumann at The Harvard Art Museums

Artist Henrike Naumann discusses her artistic practice and works on view in the exhibition "Made in Germany? Art and Identity in a Global Nation" at The Harvard Art Museums.

Henrike Naumann is a 2024/25 fellow at the Berlin Artistic Research Program. Born in Zwickau in the German Democratic Republic in 1984, Naumann experienced Neo-Nazis as a dominant youth culture in the 1990s. In many of her works, including "Ostalgie" (2019), which is featured in "Made in Germany?," she arranges furniture and objects to create spaces that reflect on sociopolitical problems, exploring the friction between opposing political opinions via personal everyday aesthetics.
