The Spring 2023 Frank Williams Visiting Artist: Emily Hass

Friday, March 24, 2023, 11:00 am, Jewett Auditorium

The Spring 2023 Frank Williams Visiting Artist will be Emily Hass, a New York-based contemporary artist. Hass holds degrees in design and psychology from Harvard University. Much of her work is structured around the topics of forced migration and exile, looking at the destruction of Jewish homes and neighborhoods in WWII and current mass displacements in Syria and elsewhere. Experiments in architectural mapping intersect with installation and sculpture to explore concepts of home remembered and lost. Hass has been a Howard Foundation Fellow and a MacDowell Fellow. She was awarded the McCloy Fellowship in Art and has received grants from the Jerome Foundation, the Adolph and Esther Gottlieb Foundation, and the New York Foundation for the Arts. Her work has been exhibited internationally and in the US, and is in the permanent collection of the Jewish Museum Berlin.

For this event Hass will be in conversation with curator Rachael Arauz '91 in the Jewett Auditorium.

This event is open to the campus community and invited guests only.
