Ilna Ewers-Wunderwald was an artist, a free spirit, and an emancipatory pioneer of her time; however, she has since been forgotten. She was born in Düsseldorf and played an active role in the art scene and visited the art association “Malkasten” often. Some of her illustrations evoke a memory of distant places and phantastical creatures. Our first stop will be the FrauenOrt NRW dedicated to her before heading to the Kunstpalast. After some artistic impressions, we will create our own illustrations.

Meeting place: Malkasten, Pempelforter Straße

Samedi 6 décembre 2025, 15 heures
