Vivien Fryd Invited to Present Lectures at Two Universities in Germany

Posted by on Monday, May 2, 2016 in HART, Lectures, VRC.

Vivien Fryd, professor of history of art, will deliver a lecture addressing “Kara Walker’s About the Title:  Re-enacting the Trauma of Colonialism and Slavery” on Thursday, May 12, at the Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität, Bonn, Germany.  Her lecture is sponsored by the Program in North American Studies.

Fryd will present a paper titled “Stefanie Ries:  Waiting to Escape Nazi Germany” at a conference held May 20-22 at the University of Paderborn.  The title of the panel session is “Waiting as Cultural Practice.”

She is currently writing book manuscripts entitled Against Our Will:  Representing Sexual Trauma in American Art, 1970-2014 and Writing Trauma:  Henry Ries’ Photographs of Berlin, 1937-2004.  Fryd is the niece of New York Times photographer Henry Ries (1917-2004), a Berlin-born Jew who fled Hitler with his sister (Fryd’s mother) in 1938, returning to Germany after the war to photograph the darkness of war’s aftermath.
