As a German Dadaist artist, Hannah Höch was a pioneer, going places, as she was using mass-media images in collages to create new, subversive imagery that was political, social, and engaging for all those who came in contact with her work.
Höch challenged the norms of the time by bringing printed images together that were controversial. Gender, women's rights, and a female debate were in her wheelhouse. Höch manipulated images to create new narratives that challenged how people saw gender, social constructs, identity, and political discourse. She painstakingly cut images from newspapers and print media to layer and paste new ways of seeing.
Join me as we discuss how she developed artistically from the First World War and beyond, what she had to do to survive the wreckage of the times, and how the mediums she pursued helped carve out her place in history as a dominant force to be reckoned with, how we owe her meticulous nature to photomontages that depicted her life experiences and challenges with her identity, a nod of recognition, as she has shaped our own desire to work with print to inform our creativity and continue to push boundaries.
