The artists Lilla von Puttkamer and Vera Lossau in conversation with Ludwig Seyfarth

What is the reality of art, especially for women, in Cambodia? Lilla von Puttkamer (Berlin) and Vera Lossau (Düsseldorf) wanted to find out. They travelled to the country several times and initiated an intensive exchange with local women artists in cooperation with the Goethe Centre. In addition to a publication, this resulted in several joint exhibitions in Cambodia and Germany; this year, another exhibition will follow at Schloss Biesdorf in Berlin.

The two artists report on the not always easy realisation of these projects, present the works shown there and the actions carried out. They will also provide information about the network of female artists they co-founded, which is growing year after year. The networking and exchange with female artists in many other countries influences their own artistic work. This will be demonstrated using specific examples, including Lilla von Puttkamer's contribution to the exhibition Frozen Mirrors.
