Bauhaus Diaspora and Beyond

Bauhaus Diaspora and Beyond: Transforming Education through Art, Architecture and Design presents an extraordinary new Australasian cultural history. Beginning in 1930, the arrival of migr , internee, and refugee educators, exiles from Nazism, helped to transform art, architecture, and design in Australia and New Zealand. Fifteen thematic essays and twenty individual case studies, bringing to light a tremendous amount of new archival material, show how these innovators introduced Bauhaus ideas and models to a new world. As their Bauhaus model spanned art, architecture and design, this volume provides a unique cross-disciplinary, migr history of art education in Australia and New Zealand. Coinciding with the 2019 centenary, Bauhaus Diaspora and Beyond offers a remarkable and little-known chapter in the wider Bauhaus venture, which has multiple legacies and continues to inform conceptions of creativity, progressive education, and the role of art and design within society.
