Description:Villa Aurora fellow Helmut Oehring was born to deaf-mute parents in East-Berlin in 1961.

In 1990 he became master student with Georg Katzer at the Academy of the Arts in Berlin, where he is a member today. This program will include pieces based on the poetry of American poet Anne Sexton, works referring to Albrecht Dürer and Heinrich Heine, and  a portrait of the infamous Fred A.
