How does the myth of a skepticism towards images in Jewish culture go together with Kafka’s image-intensive stories? In her lecture, Vivian Liska will give an introduction to Kafka’s approach to visuality and thus set the context for a deeper understanding of his attitude towards Judaism.
The program accompanying the exhibition Access Kafka is supported by Berliner Sparkasse.
