Everyone knows the names Walter Gropius, Mies van der Rohe or Marcel Breuer, but what about the artist Friedl Dicker-Brandeis or the textile artist Gunta Stölzl? The Bauhaus was the home of the avant-garde and the cradle of modern architecture, but it is mainly male figures who are associated with it, and women are often overlooked, even though their influence is unquestionable. 

Director Susanne Radelhof tells the story of a famous art school with a turbulent fate from the perspective of figures for whom the situation was even a little more complicated. The documentary is a tribute to the forgotten women of the Bauhaus and shows their efforts to make it in male-dominated fields.

The film will be screened after the lecture "Berlin: Building Together, Building Better" from the Affordable Housing series.
