Ida Dehmel, who was driven to death by the Nazis, is being celebrated at the St. Matthew Church in Berlin. This event marks the beginning of numerous festivities organized by GEDOK (Community of Female Artists and Art Promoters) in honor of their centenary. The organization celebrates its history and commitment to promoting female artists through exhibitions, concerts, readings, and a special publication. Dehmel's legacy, particularly her forward-thinking vision for a German-Austrian network supporting women artists, continues to be relevant today.

Dehmel's motto, 'Schwarz oder weiß, nur nit grau, kalt oder heiß, nur nit lau', encapsulates her vibrant personality and her unwavering support for the arts. As a patron, she was passionate about elevating contemporary art and advocating for women's rights during a tumultuous time in history. Her efforts led to the establishment of a progressive platform that not only provided visibility for female artists but also fostered a sense of community and collaboration among them.

The homage to Dehmel’s contributions is a reminder of the impact individuals can have on the cultural landscape, particularly in supporting marginalized voices. The ongoing activities by GEDOK to honor her legacy underscore the importance of continuing to champion diversity and equality in the arts, reflecting the need for ongoing advocacy in today's society.
