Book Launch & Conversation: Whose Eyes Am I? Children’s Media in Exile

the centre
- The Käte Hamburger Research Centre global dis:connect, funded by the Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space, investigates globalisation as a dynamic process shaped by the interplay of integration, disconnection, and disintegration. Our work focuses on understanding how connections emerge, fail, or remain absent, in both historical and contemporary contexts.

research
- global dis:connect approaches globalisation through the lens of dis:connectivity, focusing on absences, detours and interruptions that shape historical and contemporary global processes. Rather than assuming linear integration, we examine the gaps, delays and disruptions that make globalisation uneven and socially significant.
  
  Our research is structured around six key areas – absences, detours, interruptions, laboratories, cultural infrastructures and temporalities – which foster interdisciplinary dialogue without normative assumptions or claims of completeness.

fellows
- The cornerstone of global dis:connect is the fellowship programme, in which approximately ten scholars come to Munich each year. They research dis:connectivity on site and in close contact with the directors and their peers. Fellows also have the opportunity to host workshops on the topics of their research.

- outreach
- global dis:connect publishes innovative interventions on dis:connectivity across a range of media, from the blog, which covers the latest news, research and art at gd:c, to static, a periodical containing the best work from within and beyond global dis:connect, in addition to traditional scholarly formats.

Book Launch & Conversation: Whose Eyes Am I? Children’s Media in Exile

On World Book Day, Burcu Dogramaci and Helene Roth present recent research on children’s and youth media created in exile after 1933. The discussion explores how exiled authors, artists, and photographers addressed the experiences of displaced children through photo books and illustrated media produced under diverse exile conditions.

Artists including Leo Lionni, Henry Rox, Walter Trier, and Ylla will be discussed, highlighting artistic networks, media practices, and the reception of exile literature for young audiences up to the present day.

The event takes place within the exhibition L IS FOR LOOK at Museum Folkwang in cooperation with Buchhandlung Walther König and Kunstring Folkwang e.V.

Thursday, 23 April 2026 | 6:00–7:00 PM
