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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This exhibition investigates the visual messaging that shaped Berlin before and after the Nazi regime, offering a critique of systemic oppression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For this showcase, student groups were asked to interpret the meaning of a \u201creflective piece\u201d and to create original collaborative works inspired by Berlin\u2019s history, art, and architecture. Each project captures personal responses to a city defined by resilience, complexity, and renewal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This exhibition is free and open to the public Monday-Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n
