Artist Gail Gregg, and Senior Executive Emeritus of the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian, John Haworth, invite you to support the Artivism program of the Auschwitz Institute for the Prevention of Genocide & Mass Atrocities (AIPG). Gail and John would love you to join them for an evening of cocktails and conversation with AIPG. This gathering will be hosted at the Gregg home on the Upper West Side of Manhattan on Monday, December 4 from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
The evening will include a conversation with the Curator of AIPG’s Artivism: The Atrocity Prevention Pavilion and the leader of AIPG’s current Artivism program, Dr. Kerry Whigham. The event will also feature the work of Ms. Zahara Gómez, a Spanish-Argentinian photographer and the winner of this year’s Annual Engaged Artivist Award on Atrocity Prevention and Human Rights. The Engaged Artivist Award recognizes the work of Artivists – artist-activists-- highlighting their unique and creative responses to identity-based violence and mass atrocities. Artistic interventions can be seen as preventive when they contribute to improving the human rights of groups of people who have been marginalized; call attention to violence or discrimination against groups of people; demand justice for past human rights violations; or depict visions for a different future where identity-based violence is less likely to occur. The work of Artivists demonstrates that we all play a part in recognizing and preventing mass violence.
Please RSVP here no later than Monday, November 27; the address of the Gregg residence will be provided to those who have RSVP'd prior to the event. For any questions, please email Samantha.capicotto@auschwitzinstitute.org.
We hope you will join us for what is sure to be an evening of excellent conversation and inspiring company. We also look forward to you becoming a member of the community that makes the Annual Engaged Artivist Award on Atrocity Prevention and Human Rights possible!
