SUMMARY:JCCMW - Healing Measures: Installation Opening &amp\; Artist Talk
DESCRIPTION:Join Israeli artist Hadassa Goldvicht and renowned New Yorker
 cartoonist and author Liana Finck\, as they discuss art and storytelling
 as a form of healing and Hadassa’s powerful new art installation at the
 JCCMW\, Healing Measures. Inspired by personal interviews and workshops
 done with the JCCMW community\, this site-specific work is a reflection on
 the ongoing violence in Israel\, and it transforms our space into one of
 healing\, unity\, and reflection.\n\nLight refreshments will be
 served.\n\nAdmission: $18\n\nAbout the Installation\n\nHealing Measures is
 a community-centered artwork by Goldvicht that explores the profound
 collective knowledge of human healing. In this site-specific installation
 at the JCC\, Goldvicht gathered personal stories from members of diverse
 faiths and cultural backgrounds. These narratives reflect the many stages
 of life—from the sorrow of loss and the complexities of parenthood to the
 quiet struggles embedded in daily existence. Through these voices\, the
 work weaves a poetic investigation into human mechanisms of pain and
 healing as well as the different ways one attempts to repair the
 irreparable.\n\nThe installation\, on the main ramp inside the building\,
 functions as an intimate sanctuary\, inviting visitors into a communal
 space where private\, often unspoken stories are shared in this text-based
 work\, creating a communal space to contemplate vulnerability and encourage
 reflection on the ways we tend to our inner wounds\, both individually and
 as a community.\n\nAbout the Artist\n\nHadassa Goldvicht is an
 interdisciplinary artist\, writer\, and lecturer. Goldvicht creates
 large-scale artworks together with members of communities and institutions
 exploring themes of language\, memory\, pain\, and healing. She received
 her BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design (2004) and an MFA from the
 School of Visual Arts in New York (2007). Her work has been exhibited
 widely\, including at the Fondazione Querini Stampalia\, Venice\; the
 Jewish Museum\, New York\; the Tel Aviv Museum\; Israel Museum\,
 Jerusalem\; the Beijing Biennial\, the Zacheta National Gallery of Art\,
 Warsaw\, and the Judisches Museum in Berlin.\n\n&nbsp\;\n\nAbout the
 Presenter\n\nLiana Finck is a cartoonist\, illustrator\, author of Let
 there Be Light and A Bintel Brief\, and a reg­u­lar con­trib­u­tor
