Remembering families


This Week we welcome Caroline Slifkin of the Holocaust Educational Department to the Graphics deptartment where she gave several talks on the Holocaust & Art work created during & after. The students were able to ask questions about the process - from Pre-War life , to Victim groups, to the Ghettos & camps & to survivor testimonies.


Following this the students responded by creating Memorial Albums which celebrated the lives of the victims & their families - giving a voice back to the voiceless. The students responded creatively with sensitive thought & diverse media such as wax & encaustic , collage , layering. The fine art students also worked with Caroline to create work inspired by Christina Boltanski.
