SUMMARY:Exhibit: "Painting the Border: A Child's Voice"
DESCRIPTION:The exhibit “Painting the Border: A Child’s Voice” features 33 paintings that express experiences of children affected by U.S. policies such as the MPPs (Migration Protection Protocols\, 2019) that returned asylum-seekers to Mexico to await their asylum hearings. Those policies have been replaced today with expansive and unchecked power\, allowing ICE agents to deport migrants and separate families\, leaving children traumatized and emotionally adrift when family members are detained or deported. \nThese paintings take us into their world. The young artists who created the exhibit answered one question with their brush strokes: What do you think about the border? ¿Qué opinas de la frontera? The images reveal a longing for home\, the experience of journeying\, feelings of hopefulness\, and\, finally\, the disillusionment of border realities. Seven years after these images were painted\, the relevance and timeliness remain profoundly impactful. \nThis exhibit is a collaborative effort initiated by Skidmore College Teaching Professor Diana Barnes\, PhD. It was organized in Juárez by Lucca de Alba\, a dedicated advocate for migrants in her city and a well-known children’s author. NGO volunteers from Seguimos Adelante\, and El Paso muralist Cimi Alvarado\, along with a team of volunteers\, accompanied the children in August 2019. \nVisit and Contact: For group or class visits\, please email the Refuge Gallery Lead Curator\, Vincent Stracuadanio\, at vstracquadan@fordham.edu. For individual tours\, the gallery is open Monday through Friday\, 9 to 4 p.m. Ring the bell for the Institute of International Humanitarian Affairs. \nLocation: Canisius Hall at FCRH (2546 Belmont Ave\, Bronx\, NY\, 10458)

SUMMARY:Exhibit: “Binders of the Covenant”—Torah Binders from the Memorial Scrolls Trust
DESCRIPTION:“Binders of the Covenant” brings to life the story of Torah binders from the Memorial Scrolls Trust. The exhibit spotlights 25 historic binders that survived the Shoah and explores their significance for European Jewry\, genealogy\, and why they have relevance in today’s world. \nIn 1964\, 1\,564 Torah scrolls arrived at the synagogue building in Knightsbridge\, London. These sacred survivors of the Shoah had survived a journey from small towns and large cities in Bohemia and Moravia\, the land near Prague\, to a new life in the Jewish diaspora. The Torah scrolls are now part of the Memorial Scroll Trust. With the scrolls came also hundreds of Torah binders used to wrap the actual parchment under the ornate Torah cover. Many\, typically hand-sewn by women\, offer biographical inscriptions creating tangible connections with the families–men\, women\, and children–of the past. These Torah binders make up one of the largest collections of this sort in the world. \nThe exhibition “Binders of the Covenant” at Fordham University\, curated by Warren Klein\, Amy Levine-Kennedy\, and Magda Teter\, is the first time that these precious textiles will be shown in the United States. These historic binders will be shown alongside photographs of the towns from which some of them came by Sheila Pallay and contemporary interpretations of this tradition through the fiber art of Rachel Kanter. \nThe exhibit is made possible by the Hadassah Ruth Weiner Fund for Jewish Art at Fordham\, the Henry S. Miller Judaica Research Collection Endowment\, and the Henry S. Miller Student Research in Jewish Studies Endowment\, and the Memorial Scrolls Trust. It is co-presented in partnership with the Leo Baeck Institute of New York.

SUMMARY:Opening of “Binders of the Covenant” Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the opening of the exhibition\, “Binders of the Covenant\,” which brings to life the story of Torah binders from the Memorial Scrolls Trust.
