--- title: Susanna Exhibition in the Wallraf with 👉🏻💐 3 Encores subtitle: Guest Blog post by👏🏻 Christof Kellerwessel image: featured-image.jpg imageCaption: Thanks Anke for your awesome photography! # newsletterSubject: Perspectives on the Susanna Show # newsletterSendingDateAndTime: Sunday Feb.19th at 12 noon --- Dear ArtTalkers _ArtTalks visited the world’s first exhibition on the biblical Susanna in art in the Wallraf-Richartz-Museum on 02.02. With a wide scope of international art pieces, the show focuses on how sexualized violence has been negotiated in western art for centuries. It links historical narratives to the now with the #MeToo movement._ The “Susanna Exhibition” in Cologne’s Wallraf Richartz’s Museum is a magnet for many visitors. It shows amazing paintings and sculptures based on the biblical scene of Suzanna. I was blown away by the actuality of the topic with connections to “#me too” and by the variety of the “Susanna and the Elders” interpretations. I enjoyed the guided tour and the lively mood of the group despite the seriousness of the subject. There were interactive dialogues despite the headphones and at least 3 encores - more pictures explained – all of which closed out this round of the morning Arttalk. Karla’s thorough work of preparation was both, impressive and eye-opening. Looking forward to the next one! _Thank you, Christof, for your insights._ --- _Here a TV tip from Claudia Hillebrand:_ Reschke Fernsehen, Macht und Sexismus – it’s a Match Show mit Anja Reschke, in der ARD-Mediathek kommt das als Top Tip Nr. 8 --- One more tip: the movie „[She Said“](https://rex-koeln.de/programm/film/she-said) on uncovering the Harry Weinstein scandal is playing in Köln at the cinema Rex am Ring. An excellent and compelling film. ## Announcement The next ArtTalks will take place on 1. Thursday in April, April 6, this time in [Museum Ludwig](https://www.museum-ludwig.de/). Topic to be announced Looking forward to welcoming you ArtTalkers for more great art, some learning and engaging fun conversations. Artful wishes,\ Karla ```=html
