It’s amazing and very sad story about Otti . Thank you so much for this lecture and a huge thank you to Judith for fabulous book about such fantastic weaver Otti Berger. I’m a weaver and I’m happy to know such an inspiring person .

Thank you for posting a lovely tribute to Mr Allenby. I believe my father was a student of his, and held him in very high regard.

"It's Alright Ma, ( I'm Only Bleeding ), the song by Bob Dylan, begins "Darkness at the break of noon, shadows even the silver spoon, the handmade blade, the child's balloon, eclipses both the sun and moon, to understand you know too soon there is no sense in trying." There might be a reference to the Fritz Lang movie M as well as to the Koestler book. Great discussion, guys. Other fine political novels are The Case for Comrade Tulyaev by Victor Serge, The Gulag Archipelago books by Solzhenisyn, the previously mentioned The Captive Mind by Czeslaw Milosz, In Dubious Battle by Steinbeck, Homage To Catalonia by Orwell, The Foundation Pit by Platonov, and the book by Zinoviev, The Yawning Heights. If you look at JR by William Gaddis as a satire of capitalism, that's a pretty hilarious and inspired novel that shakes the republic to its roots. Finally, The God's are Athirst by Anatole France, and Les Miserables by Hugo are two other fine novels that can be thrown into the bonfire here.

Beyond words moving and inspiring 🙏

Was Hallas and Batchelor based in Soho Square, London?

Have watched this with an open mind but as a student of Laban I cannot agree at all and dont understand your hostility to Laban. He was a genius and believed in dance for all not only dancing professionals. So many people have enjoyed dance both dancing and watching Labans work. If you are a dancer you cannot believe this is a racist style of dancing or that he himself was a nazi or a racist. This is utter nonsense.

Thank you so very much! It is amazingly interesting ❤

Fascinating , looking forward to my first visit to Leicester Art Gallery in Sept and sorry i missed the recent trip

This is very interesting and informative

The Huguenots were Muslim Moors and Sephardic Jews who upon The persecution by the Roman Catholic Empire of Spain migrated into western Europe France Holland and England. Those in France converted to Huguenots a confederation. They also the Puritans Quakers protestent and other religious groups at the time fighting the Catholics Empire

01:38 Nice one, keep it up!

For a follow up, I was wrong, the Sports Team Name is actually Argonauts! Oh well, I learned more about history. Thank you very much for sharing and God bless.

Very interesting. Knew nothing about the word until today. Heard it mentioned in a bible study and had me curious since it sounded like the name of a Sports Team of the University close to where we live.

Just make sure to remember here there has to be all french and all happens in france nowhere else ffs

😂 and friends, this is how history is made up, with lies, distorted realities and manipulations. Your tale narrative of museum is horrible and shameful! Hugenots are christians or catholics that were unhappy of the way the catolic church was rules, it does not belong to any nationalist narrative! FRANCE WAS CREATED IN 1784, hugenots were europeans of all backgrounds, of course you can’t have any neurone left to realise how big was france back in the day right? Why the useless wars in 16 century? To take over the catalan empire, descendant of the carolingians& roman empire! Why the french allied with the ottomans? Because france was the area of PARIS ONLY! So where were the french if france was so little? Liars!

The first ever migrants, check the naturalization chart and adoption& embracing process of the catalan nobles and their Compamies with their mariners , Cabot, Hawkins( Quinós) Burès, Rossell,along with the mercers and drapers , basic industries to develop ships to sail to the atlantic. Catalans founded and built what later was called the portuguese, british, french and spanish empires. We are the descendants of the carolingians& roman empire.

I came across Otti Berger for the first time a few hours before listening to this presentation, having read an article in the Guardian newspaper about her fate and an exhibition that brings to light those Bauhauslers who were not on the side of the angels. I agree that there should be an emphasis on her work rather than the circumstances of her death, what were all her efforts for if all anyone remembers about her is the way she died? I think the efforts that Judith Raum and her colleague went to in order to discover and recreate her textiles are extraordinary and moving. The book is, I am sure, the memorial she would have wished for. I am amazed that any archive material has survived war and ignorance, the evidence of these designers in our world is sometimes so fleeting and easily lost. I discovered around two years ago that Marcel Breuer was asked to work on designs for a house in my area, a west London suburb in the UK (he may even have made a site visit), by a refugee who was keen to employ Modernist designers who were then in London, the only clue a letter in Breuer's archive. Breuer was keen to move on to the US, but we can only imagine what might have been and wonder if Otti's curtains and carpets might have been used. Thank you so much for this.

I'm trying to find out more on my Pierre Cresson family . He was a gardener for the Prince of Orange, born at the Creeson Manor in France. Fled here in the later 1600s as a Huguenot.

Thank you for a fascinating presentation on a fabulous and terribly under-rated artist. I received the book in the post last week, I am now finding time to go through it and read it. Hoping also to make it to the Bauhaus Arkiv for the exhibition. Greetings from Slovakia.

Admin really should have turned off everyone’s access to mics before recording to avoid the distraction of seeing people eating their supper etc.

Caren, Thank you for this wonderful conversation and your thoughtful and remarkable response to this often terrible and scary world. Your voice is powerful, evocative and important. I am so glad this was recorded and shared with those of us who were unable to attend.

Thank you so much ! This interview discussion has meant a great deal to me, and I am so impressed with your courage, insight, and intelligent patience that you bring to your work. You speak quietly, but carry a big stick…. One of the things I love about your work is that it requires the person encountering it to actually think. So thank you for posting this and making it available for me to hear and be part of… Bravo to all involved 🙌

My French Huguenot ancestors fled Orleans to Strasbourg then to Pennsylvania ❤

🦧🦧🦧

Im not suppossed to know😂😂😂

Looking forward to the release of the book: _Otti Berger: Weaving for Modernist Architecture_ this March. Loved the talk. Thanks to all!

I am trying to find out more information about the Huguenot food culture, restaurants etc in the EC3 London area in the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries.

Janet, I posted too soon. I have now watched your wonderful video. The utter tragic heartbreak about your family and the miracle that Siberia turned out to be. You got to freedom which was another miracle. I used to do some pottery but nothing like the scale that you do but I do paint. Your discussion of your work was inspiratonal . Thank you.

Good afternoon Janet. It was a pleasure to meet you the other day and hear the amazing story of your life, especially in Siberia as a child. I look forward to exploring more of this website and seeing your art. All best wishes.

What a wonderfully interesting program and beautifully presented. Extremely interesting. Thank you it has awakened my interest.

A beautiful Tribute to Rosalind.

There was a very important silk weaving community in Boston, Massachusetts. Benjamin Franklin was involved in developing the silk weaving industry in colonial America. My family, the Hemenways, were silk merchants for many generations. I remember my grandmother taking silk stockings and making yarn out of them and then weaving it into beautiufl tapestries.

Thanks for Uploading.

In the years since the end of WW2, I have sadly come to terms with what the USA really is: a platform for the global hegemony of an uncrupulous, immoral, oligarchy. As such, the world is, in my view, far better off to have thwarted the sole nuclear power of the USA. I think that Fuchs realized what the USA is and tried to advance the world towards multipolarity, which is now being achieved, though after millions of innocent people have been killed by my country's imperial wars and meddling.

This is just lovely!

I had an assignment on the red egg artifact, and this talk helped me a lot to understand the piece. Thank you for the informative and interesting talk.

Good but still need to find that folder.

I just finished reading « Invisible Walls » and I would like to thank Hella Pick for sharing her memories and experiences with us. She is a model of commitment for Peacebuilding in #Comm4Peace 🕊️

I would like to have my Hugenot ancestry traced. How do I contact Dr. Winch?

Well done discussion . [I am a Mendelssohn aficionado, and just happened to find this program on TH-cam channel. Many thanks...! Alex Grimmson/ Missoula, Montana/ USA

Want to get a copy of "darkness at noon "..havnt read it for forty years Seems relevant to whats coming

I have read the Novel over and over and l have never got tired of it. He was an excellent writer.

I met Peter in New York City, in the summer of 1990 at NYU Film School. He became my friend and in the 6 weeks we spent together, he showed my many things, sharing his wisdom with my 23 year old self. I found out many years later he'd died and I miss him still. Every memory filled with laughter.

Thanks

Wonderful , !Do please more utube vlogg so interesting. kram från celia Stockholm
