Seniors' Tour | Here to Tell
Join us on Friday, December 13th for a walk through Here to Tell: Faces of Holocaust Survivors with curators of the exhibition, Marnie Bondar and Dahlia Libin. This exhibition showcases portraits of living survivors as well as portraits of deceased survivors held up by their descendants and a personal account of their experiences. These black-and-white portraits speak loudly of these 65 survivors and their personal journey through and after the Shoah.
This tour is for self-identified seniors and is free with admission. Capacity for the event is 30 so reserve your tickets early.
Seniors’ Tours are offered monthly and organized by the AGA’s Aging Artfully Advisory Committee.
Accessibility notes: We have a whisper audio guide system with headsets available. These wearable transmitters allow visitors to listen to the tour guide without straining to hear or being distracted by ambient noise in the galleries. If you pause to contemplate an artwork longer, you won’t miss what the tour guide says next.
About the Exhibition:
“For us, forgetting was never an option. Remembering is a noble and necessary act.” – Elie Wiesel.
We will soon be in a world without survivors of the Holocaust. Despite everything, they did not let their tormentors define them. Here to Tell provides a glimpse into the magnitude of the lived experiences of Shoah survivors who live(d) in Alberta. Remarkably, most of these survivors never failed to deliver a message of love and hope.
