In the organizer's words:

Tiny Desk Lecture with Przemysław Strożek and Albrecht Ernst (saxophone)

At the beginning of the 20th century, the first signs of African-American culture appeared in Europe. Ragtime, foxtrot, cakewalk and Charleston became popular as new forms of entertainment. Jazz was perceived as synonymous with modern black culture and, in the form of music and dance, also found its way into the avant-gardes - from Dada to Futurism and Constructivism to Neo-Plasticism. Przemysław Strożek's lecture will be accompanied by jazz improvisations by Albrecht Ernst.

In the lively ADA format of the Tiny Desk Lecture, scientists, contemporary witnesses and artists will provide insights into their work. The focus is on individual aspects of the special exhibition "Modern Times. The American Dream and the Avant-Gardes of the 1920s", which will be enriched with new perspectives and specialist knowledge.
