SUMMARY:Boris Lurie: Nothing To Do But To Try
DESCRIPTION:Boris Lurie: Nothing To Do But To Try is a first-of-its-kind exhibition on the 20th-century artist and Holocaust survivor Boris Lurie. Centered around his earliest work\, the so-called War Series\, as well as never-before-exhibited objects and ephemera from Lurie’s personal archive\, the exhibition presents a portrait of an artist reckoning with devastating trauma\, haunting memories\, and an elusive\, lifelong quest for freedom. In drawing together artistic practice and historical chronicle\, Boris Lurie: Nothing To Do But To Try is fertile new territory for the Museum of Jewish Heritage\, offering a survivor’s searing visual testimony within a significant art historical context. The Museum is open Wednesday\, Thursday\, and Sunday from 11 AM – 7 PM ET through October 17. The Museum is closed on Jewish holidays and on Thanksgiving. As of October 18\, the Museum will be open Sunday and Wednesday: 10 AM to 5 PM; Thursday\, 10 AM to 8 PM; and Friday\, 10 AM to 3 PM.

SUMMARY:Transforming Moments: A Conversation With Diane Von Furstenberg
DESCRIPTION:Before she was an international fashion icon and a member of the TIME 100\, Diane von Furstenberg was a young girl growing up with parents who had just survived the Holocaust. Her father\, originally from Moldova\, escaped the Nazis in Switzerland. Her mother\, originally from Greece\, fought the Nazis as a member of the resistance until she was captured and sent to Auschwitz. Join the Museum for a conversation with von Furstenberg about her identity as the daughter of survivors and how it has informed her remarkable career at the helm of one of the world’s most recognizable brands. She will be in conversation with Dr. Eva Fogelman\, renowned psychologist and author of the Pulitzer Prize-nominated book Conscience and Courage: Rescuers of Jews During the Holocaust.

SUMMARY:East Meets West: Chinese Gardens Abroad
DESCRIPTION:A unique architectural art\, the Chinese garden in its varied forms reveals a landscaped symphony of rocks\, plants\, pavilions\, water and bridges orchestrated to vibrate with mystic symbolism. Visitors to Chinese gardens\, both at home and abroad\, seldom fail to marvel at the amazing artistry of the garden craftsmanship and the microcosm of the natural world. The Xu Zhimo Garden at Cambridge University is one of these gems. Completed in 2018\, the garden was dedicated to Xu Zhimo\, a preeminent Chinese poet of the 20th century and an alumnus of Cambridge. One of the architects for the garden is Ms. Yue Zhengyang\, who published in 2021 a Chinese-English book entitled The Xu Zhimo Garden in King’s College\, Cambridge. The publication coincides with the centennial of Xu Zhimo’s enrollment at King’s College in 1921. Illustrated with scores of drawings and photos\, Yue’s book details the design and construction of the first Chinese garden at Cambridge University\, known for its historical British landscape. At the invitation of the Renwen Society\, Ms. Yue Zhengyang will share her experience as a member of the design team for the Xu Zhimo Garden at a lecture on February 12. Specifically\, she will discuss the design concept\, the construction process and the commemorative significance of the garden. Ms. Yue will also compare the Xu Zhimo Garden with the Astor Court in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York\, the Lansu Chinese Garden in Portland\, Liu Fang Yuan in Los Angeles and Qian Yuan at Ruhr University in Bochum\, Germany. She will examine how these classical Chinese gardens are integrated into the local architecture and natural environment\, serving as a bridge for international cultural exchanges.
