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:Seeing China Through Film: Suzhou River
DESCRIPTION:In-person screening of Suzhou River\, followed by a talkback with film expert Richard Peña. Lou Ye is one of the most influential and important directors in China today. Through his films\, Lou brings to light his interpretation of social issues of the marginalized in the Chinese society. One of his most important works\, Suzhou River\, is a tragic love story set in modern Shanghai. But rather than show off China’s glamorous “pearl of the orient\,” writer-director Lou sets the film amid the chaotic factories and abandoned warehouses along the Suzhou River\, which runs through the city. The film\, which was never shown in China\, gives us an up-close look into contemporary China’s gritty urban underbelly. The 10-part Seeing China Through Film series is a tour of China’s greatest films curated by Columbia University Film Professor Richard Pena\, former Program Director of the Film Society of Lincoln Center.

SUMMARY:Snowbirds: A Cultural Phenomenon
DESCRIPTION:South Miami Beach is a tiny gem of Art Deco architecture\, warm sun\, and cool breezes. It was also the winter destination of choice for Jewish seniors during the 1970s and 80s\, including many Holocaust survivors. During the area’s golden age\, upwards of 20\,000 “snowbirds” (those who fly south for the winter to escape the cold) would migrate to the 2.5 mile stretch of beachfront. The boardwalk overflowed with seniors and the sounds of Yiddish filled the air. Visual artist Naomi Harris moved to South Miami Beach between 1999 and 2002 to photograph the last remaining snowbirds. Her rich\, colorful images from the multi-year pilgrimage are featured in her new book The Haddon Hall\, which profiles bubbehs and zaidehs lounging by the pool\, doing exercises\, playing bingo\, at the beauty parlor\, and kibitzing on the veranda in the community that she made her own. Join the Museum for a program with Harris celebrating The Haddon Hall and exploring the lost world she captured with her camera.

SUMMARY:POP: Lawrence Shapiro (Neither Starved Nor Cold)
DESCRIPTION:Neither Starved Nor Cold is a movement piece about identity and self-acceptance as it follows Canadian amputee dancer Lawrence Shapiro’s journey through dance. With two non-disabled performers of Heidi Latsky Dance\, Carmen Schoenster and Judith Garfinkel\, as his “Greek chorus”\, Lawrence boldly exposes both his vulnerability and fierceness in this work. The piece challenges preconceptions of the non-normative body and creates a rich dynamic of integrated performance art. A short post performance talkback with the artists will follow the performance.
