My After: 11/13 Paris by Pamela Davis Kivelson
October 24-November 4, 2016
On display at the Class of 1945 Library
This project was born out of a conversation about how to represent freedom, courage, and resilience after the Paris terrorist attacks. It is an attempt to celebrate the voices of ordinary individuals who refuse to surrender to terror, anger, and the threat of increased militarization. Artist Pamela Davis Kivelson, working in collaboration with the Academy Library, the Lamont Gallery, and with Sarah Ream of Theater and Dance Department, will present at Assembly on October 25 and conduct a workshop with students on October 26.
