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 storytellin
 g as a form of healing and Hadassa’s powerful new art installation at th
 e JCCMW\, Healing Measures. Inspired by personal interviews and workshops
  done with the JCCMW community\, this site-specific work is a reflection o
 n 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 commun
 ity-centered artwork by Goldvicht that explores the profound collective kn
 owledge of human healing. In this site-specific installation at the JCC\, 
 Goldvicht gathered personal stories from members of diverse faiths and cul
 tural backgrounds. These narratives reflect the many stages of life—from
  the sorrow of loss and the complexities of parenthood to the quiet strugg
 les 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 installa
 tion\, on the main ramp inside the building\, functions as an intimate san
 ctuary\, inviting visitors into a communal space where private\, often uns
 poken stories are shared in this text-based work\, creating a communal spa
 ce to contemplate vulnerability and encourage reflection on the ways we te
 nd to our inner wounds\, both individually and as a community.\n\nAbout th
 e Artist\n\nHadassa Goldvicht is an interdisciplinary artist\, writer\, an
 d lecturer. Goldvicht creates large-scale artworks together with members o
 f communities and institutions exploring themes of language\, memory\, pai
 n\, and healing. She received her BFA from the Rhode Island School of Des

 ampalia\, Venice\; the Jewish Museum\, New York\; the Tel Aviv Museum\; Is
 rael Museum\, Jerusalem\; the Beijing Biennial\, the Zacheta National Gall
