Passing the Paintbrush is an educational project and podcast about historic Queer Jewish artists in Berlin. After the release of each audio documentary, we held history and practical art workshops on the featured artists.
Season 1 focused on Gertrude Sandmann, Lotte Laserstein, and Toni Ebel, learning about their lives through site visits and interviews with historians, authors, and artists.
Thank you to all the funders and partners who made the production possible
