The Memory Project: Finding Kalman and Never Again-Again

FINDING KALMAN A small black and white family photograph taken in the 1930s in Poland is the springboard for a multimedia exhibit that interweaves time-lapse sequences of nine portraits being made with an intimate conversation between a Holocaust survivor and her daughter, whose hand is seen making the paintings.

NEVER AGAIN—AGAIN The world pledged “Never again” in the wake of the Holocaust. Yet we’ve seen genocides and atrocities happening again—and again. The new addition to the Memory Project exhibitions includes paintings and stories of six survivors of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda. Along with the paintings, a video draws viewers close to the canvases as we hear fragments of the survivors’ stories.
