SUMMARY:Exhibition: “Unbearable Memories\, Unspeakable Histories”: Partition Anti-Memorial Project
DESCRIPTION:Through experiential art installations “Unbearable Memories\, Unspeakable Histories” investigates the Partition of India in 1947. \n\n\n\n\n\nThis year marks 75 years since the Partition of India in 1947\, which created Pakistan\, and eventually\, Bangladesh in 1971. Pritika Chowdhry’s experiential art installations are temporary ‘anti-memorials’ to the Partition. \nOften described as the Holocaust of South Asia\, the Partition triggered the largest migration in human history with over 20 million people displaced\, approximately 2 million killed and over 300\,000 women were abducted in the communal violence that ensued. \nThe exhibition addresses the many facets of the Partition from a counter-memory perspective through experiential art installations. The title alludes to the painful and silenced narratives that have been elided from mainstream discourses of the Partition. \nWhen a memory is unbearable\, how does one memorialize it? And when a history is unspeakable\, how does one talk about it? The exhibition’s title\, “Unbearable Memories\, Unspeakable Histories” alludes to the painful and silenced narratives that have been excluded from mainstream discourses of the Partition. \n\n_______________ \nARTIST LED TOURS AT 1PM EVERY OTHER SATURDAY! \nSep 3 and 17 | Oct 01\, 15 and 29 | Nov 12 | Dec 10

SUMMARY:Online Lunch & Learn: “The Watchmakers”
DESCRIPTION:Harry Lenga was born to a family of Chassidic Jews in Kozhnitz\, Poland\, in 1919. The proud sons of a watchmaker\, Harry and his two brothers\, Mailekh and Moishe\, studied their father’s trade at an early age. Upon the German invasion of Poland\, when the Lenga family was upended\, Harry and his brothers never imagined that the tools and skills they learned from their father would be key to their survival.\nJoin us in conversation with Scott Lenga as he recounts the moving and harrowing story of the Holocaust through the eyes of his father and two uncles – the Lenga brothers\, three young men whose watchmaking skills\, rudimentary tools\, and an entrepreneurial spark – helped them survive Nazi concentration camps and stay together despite the odds\nFree to the public.
