Enissa Amani x Altarwerk von Meo da Siena | STÄDEL MUSEUM

Die Aktivistin und Künstlerin Enissa Amani stellt mit ihrem ganz persönlichen Blick Meo da Sienas Altarwerk (1330/1333) aus der Städel Sammlung vor. Sie zeigt, warum und in welchen Elementen des Werks nah- und fernöstliche Einflüsse zu finden sind und wirft Fragen nach kultureller Interaktion und Aneignung auf. Was erzählt uns die Kunst von gestern über das Heute? Und was hat das eigentlich alles mit mir zu tun? Die Filmreihe „Meinungsbilder“ verknüpft historische Zusammenhänge ausgewählter Kunstwerke der Städel Sammlung mit aktuellen gesellschaftlichen Diskursen.
