A Lecture in Honor of 'Yom HaShoah' - Holocaust Remembrance Day
Join us for a lecture from Dr. Elizabeth Hlavek DAT, LCPAT, ATR-BC in honor of Holocaust Remembrance Day, accompanied by the exhibit, Finding Meaning Through Art-Making, select reproductions of artwork from the Holocaust.
Approximately 40,000 works of art have been documented since the liberation in 1945. This collection of artwork – created in camps, ghettos, and in hiding – epitomizes the power of creativity and the strength of spirit. It is striking, especially from the perspective of art therapy, to consider the concept of art-making in the midst of a genocide. That a creative impulse could be attained suggests that it supported survival in some way.
The exhibit represents the artists who secretly created while captive during the Holocaust, and the importance of art-making in response to tragedy.
Visit the exhibit display in the Maryland Hall first-floor gallery throughout the month of April.
