Théophile-Alexandre Steinlen, Tournée du Chat Noir de Rodolphe Salis, 1896, color lithograph.


This symposium explores the culture and energy found in Europe's cabarets and cafés during the late-19th and early-20th centuries. Such venues as the Chat Noir in Paris, the Stray Dog in St. Petersburg, the Kadeco in Berlin and the infamous Cabaret Voltaire in Zürich functioned as creative laboratories for artists, journalists, political figures and the general public, igniting some of the most radical artistic movements of the era. An informal reception follows.

ADMISSION: Free with general admission, but space is limited.
RSVP to education@zimmerli.rutgers.edu to reserve. Program details are available on our website. (Above: Theophile-Alexandre Steinlen, Tournée du Chat Noir de Rodolphe Salis, 1896, color lithograph)
