Access Kafka – Kafka and Art
As Part of the Exhibition Access Kafka (in German with translation into German Sign Language, DGS)
Are Kafka's texts sometimes only comprehensible as pictures? In his lecture, Hans-Gerd Koch, one of the most important Kafka researchers in Germany, introduces the topic of Kafka and art. He will focus on Kafka's views on the creation of art and his understanding of visual art.
