This program is part of the 27th Biennial St. Louis Symposium on German Literature and Culture, Archiving the Sounds of German Cultures: A Century of Collection, Curation, and Creative Practice, March 26–29, 2026. Hosted by WashU’s Department of Comparative Literature and Thought’s Program in Germanic Languages and Literatures, the biennial symposium brings together scholars, students, and members of the university and public to explore how the recording and documentation of sound has shaped German cultures and their narratives from the early twentieth century to the present.
This event is presented in conjunction with Emeka Ogboh: The Song of the Germans, on view in the Kemper Art Museum’s Video Gallery from February 27 to July 27, 2026, and Listening to the Art of German Cultures, a Teaching Gallery installation on view through July 27.
The talk will be followed by a reception in the Kemper Art Museum lobby.
