Exploring the myriad, dynamic, and interdependent links between the

fashion’s raw materials, which for Renaissance lords were worth the 
price of violence, death, and destruction.

Going behind the scenes of the recent exhibition Untold Lives: A Palace

contemporary reimagining, and acknowledged gaps and spaces.

WARBURG INSTITUTE AUDITORIUM OR ONLINE VIA ZOOM

The Hans-Würtz-Collection is a unique body of disability related images 
and artworks. It was assembled in Germany between 1910–1933, a critical 
period in European history that saw the rise of National Socialism and 
its extreme attendant ableist and disablist thought and action. Covering 
a time span ranging from antiquity to the first half of the 20th 
century, the collection comprises around 3,500 images – most of them 
reproductions – in the form of drawings, cartoons, lithographs, 
engravings, magazine snippets, photographs and postcards; several 
paintings, as well as 180 pottery, ivory and wood statuettes.
