Anna Magdalena Bach

In the organizer's words:

Due to the lack of surviving letters or portraits, Johann Sebastian Bach's wife becomes a projection screen.
It is known that she was a trained musician, composer and celebrated singer when she married the widower Bach at the age of twenty. It is thanks to her efforts as a music copyist that many of his works have been preserved. In addition to music, she ran the household, looked after guests and pupils, raised four children from Bach's first marriage and gave birth to thirteen of her own. As a wife - and no longer as a highly remunerated artist - it was apparently not considered necessary to preserve her image or word.
The artists approach Anna Magdalena Bach from different perspectives: Some shed light on her close connection to music and imagine a life full of notes. Others focus on the limited opportunities for women at the time. Still others take up the era itself - the visual splendor and glamour of the Baroque.
