Learn HERstory Through Art

More than 60 people attended an artist reception for Marilyn Lande's art exhibit featuring her new works entitled “MECHITZAH – HER Story Metamorphosed, A Magazine” on Novermber 19th at JFS's Rafael Spiritual Healing Center.

Lande created these magazine pages with photography and collage. This new work is meant to hint at the volumes of issues one would have to create to do justice to all the women who have contributed to the story of the Jewish people - without which there would not be a Jewish people. Her images celebrate, invoke, and reveal both Jewish history and Jewish women’s history that has been hidden, buried, forgotten, or unacknowledged.

As Marilyn states, “My photographic works are visual translations of life and history often emphasizing my inner connection to the Jewish people. By subsuming the past into the present I hope to engage the viewer to add to his/her knowledge and reality, and enrich their particular visions.”
Lande, a Denver conceptual artist, photographer, videographer, and independent researcher has spent many years exploring the history of Jewish women, and the way that history and Jewish heritage and faith has influenced the art and lives of Jewish women.

The show is running through mid-February so call (303) 597.5000 x392 and make an appointment for a private showing or group tour with the artist before it's too late! Learn more about Marilyn Lande...
