Discover the Lisel Haas Archive

In a one-off workshop Jaskirt Dhaliwal-Boora invites you to discover and respond to the archive of German Jewish photographer Lisel Haas, who moved to Birmingham in 1938 after her studio was destroyed during Kristallnacht, and worked prolifically as a photographer, yet remains largely unknown.

In the workshop we will have an opportunity to look at Haas’s archive in the Library of Birmingham. We will then consider the importance of home and migration, and what it means to you to be a woman photographer. Dhaliwal-Boora will work with workshop participants to learn about how we can best amplify the experiences of migration and women photographers.

This workshop is aimed at womxn, and we encourage those who have experienced migration or have a history of immigration in their family to attend.
