Art and literature combined: Discover creative perspectives in Wertheim!

Art and literature combined: Discover creative perspectives in Wertheim!

An exciting art event will be celebrated in the charming setting of the Kulturhaus Wertheim on November 23, 2025. The initiator Birgit Hiske has put together an outstanding exhibition that includes over 30 works, including paintings, graphics, photos, collages and installations. These creative perspectives enable a fascinating dialogue between images and words and invite visitors to embark on a journey of discovery. This year the focus is not only on art itself, but also on the connection to literature. The club in which Hiske is active deliberately chose this in the spirit of lively interaction. [Main-Echo](https://www.main-echo.de/region/kreis-main-tauber/ein Tauchen-in-kreative-sichtweise-art-8611010) reported that Tanja Lemmen, a committed board member of the group, introduced the topic.

The artistic challenge invites people to reflect on the definitions of art and literature. While literature is described as the totality of all written works, art often remains mysterious and subjective. Lemmen emphasizes that art can be “read” without letters and that text often serves as a source of inspiration. An untitled picture, for example, leaves the viewer room for their own interpretations and avoids ready-made explanations. This is an invitation to actively contribute your own perception.

Artistic diversity and feminist perspectives

The exhibition features an impressive list of artists, including big names such as Cy Twombly, Caspar David Friedrich and Frida Kahlo, as well as the talented Marianna Gostner. Particularly noteworthy is the work of Birgit Hiske, who focuses on the feminist symbol in order to respect feminist writers. This is no coincidence, as the feminist art movement, which originated in the United States in the late 1960s, is a significant movement that addresses female identity and the challenges of gender roles. Artists like Valie Export and Judith Bernstein have set important accents in this context by questioning discrimination and breaking down stereotypical images of femininity. Wikipedia points out that the term “feminist art” is not just a label, but a movement that will remain relevant until gender equality is achieved.

Another exciting work comes from Heide Fahrenkrog-Keller, whose collage focuses on peace in different languages ​​over a war photo. The struggle for peace is made visible in an impressive way, which has lost none of its importance in today's world. Birgit Betzold-Keller also used a Persian proverb in soft colors, which underlines the cultural diversity of the exhibition and shows visitors how art can speak a universal language.

Art and community

A particular concern of the exhibition is to promote exchange between artists and visitors. The focus is on encouraging questioning and sensitizing the senses. The family play day in the cultural center will provide an excellent opportunity to explore the exhibits and talk to each other. The exhibition will also be open to the public by appointment and has the potential to appeal to a diverse target group.

The city library is being brought into play as a possible further exhibition location, which shows how dynamic the cultural landscape is in the region.

It seems that the collaboration between art, literature and society opens up an exciting perspective, and the art world in Wertheim remains moving and inspiring.

So, pack up the family and head to the Kulturhaus Wertheim on November 23rd to experience a piece of art and literary history up close! Who knows what new creative impulses this exhibition has in store for you.
