Join us for the opening reception of Lest We Forget, a collaborative art exhibit by Sandra A. Brick and Fred M.B. Amram. Opening reception is on Thursday, November 16 from 4–7 pm with remarks at 5:30 pm.
Located on the 3rd Floor Exhibit Gallery at the Minnesota State Capitol Exhibit will be on view from November 1, 2023–February 29, 2024.
Lest We Forget is a touring collection of twenty-four 3D multimedia works of art with short literary vignettes. Two artists, Sandra A. Brick and Holocaust survivor, Fred M.B. Amram, explore a Jewish youngster’s coming-of-age, first in Holocaust Germany, and then as a refugee in the United States. Brick works in textiles to translate Amram’s stories into visual art. This exhibition teaches about the early days of the Holocaust and about a Jewish refugee family coming to America, absorbing a new language and adapting to a new culture.
