Join us for an afternoon of art and reflection across Brandeis University. We will begin at the Kniznick Gallery with a tour of Who Will Draw Our History? Women’s Graphic Narratives of the Holocaust, 1944–1949. Curated by Rachel E. Perry, Ph.D., the exhibition introduces 10 women Holocaust survivors, who, days after their liberation, began recording their memories in images and words. Exhibited together for the first time, these graphic narratives contribute vital artistic and evidentiary material about the Holocaust, its aftermath, and its survivors.
From there, we will walk together to the Rose Art Museum to discuss works in Photorealism in Focus and Fabricated Imaginaries: Crafting Art as they relate to the diasporic Jewish experience and the role of artists as truth-tellers.
We will then close by inviting visitors to experience Yinka Shonibare: Sanctuary, the U.S. debut of the British Nigerian artist’s powerful and immersive installation Sanctuary City (2024). Composed of 18 scaled-down replicas of historical and contemporary buildings that have served as sites of refuge, Sanctuary City invites us to reflect on the fragility of protection and confront our responsibilities to one another.
