Overview
In an era where identity politics is being weaponised against the very people it has sought to make visible, how can we reclaim complexity? An essay on art, identity and fascism.
In 1937 the Nazis staged an exhibition of seized artworks to showcase the ''perverse Jewish spirit'' pervading German culture. It contained work by Jewish artists, but also those were queer or foreign. It was an event that sought to define degeneracy and put it on display. This exhibition, Entartete Kunst, is just a single episode in a long running culture war, one that has always been fought on terms set by fascism. In A Nazi Word for a Nazi Thing, So Mayer gives us a new frame through which to view these intertwined yet disparate histories.
