Join SUNY Broome Visual Communications Associate Professor Patricia Evans for an Artist Talk about the exhibition series Faces of the Holocaust at 7 p.m. April 6 at 5 Riverside Drive in Binghamton, part of First Friday in the city.
Created by Evans’ Beginning Drawing students, the exhibit showcases a series of classical realist larger than life-size portrait drawings rendered in charcoal, pencil and mixed media, along with life stories that represent survivors and victims of the Holocaust. For the exhibit, students researched the history of Holocaust survivors and victims, including birth and death records, which culminated into profound lessons on social and cultural history.
Each semester, Professor Evans’ students focus on a marginalized group of people and take on the challenge of uncovering individual roles, before creating a likeness based on archival photographs.
