Berlin is, and always has been, defined by its vitality and the arts in equal measure. Ever-changing and fast moving, Berlin is noted as a city that is always in progress, never finished. In Sarah Lawrence College’s Summer Arts program, students rigorously engage with the actual contextual layers of the city’s history. Constantly on-the-go and often working on location, students process and experience classroom material through art-making and individual reflection.
Gain a new perspective on your study of German language, creative writing, or fine arts, while learning about Berlin’s cultural relevance and critical position in Europe.
