“Berlin: Shifting the Paradigm” Art Exhibition
November 17 – December 5
The Paul Watkins Art Gallery will host an exhibition by Winona State students who attended the “Berlin: Shifting the Paradigm” faculty-led travel study program.
This exhibition investigates the visual messaging that shaped Berlin before and after the Nazi regime, offering a critique of systemic oppression.
Berlin was selected for not only its enduring architecture and art, but also its reflection on a culture molded by war, fascism, and communism. Through these lenses, the exhibition examines Central Europe’s cultural, social, and artistic achievements as well as humanity’s ability to overcome tragedy.
For this showcase, student groups were asked to interpret the meaning of a “reflective piece” and to create original collaborative works inspired by Berlin’s history, art, and architecture. Each project captures personal responses to a city defined by resilience, complexity, and renewal.
This exhibition is free and open to the public Monday-Friday.
