Join us for an inspiring afternoon of art and discovery across Brandeis University! Start at the Kniznick Gallery in the Women's Research Center with an artist-guided tour of Hannah Altman: As It Were, Suspended in Midair. Drawing from Yiddish literature and Jewish mystical texts, Altman’s evocative photographs situate her female protagonists in lush landscapes and charged interiors, where sunlit gestures and ritual objects foreshadow both abundance and danger.
From there, we’ll walk together to the Rose to explore Leonora Carrington: Dream Weaver. Featuring over thirty works spanning six decades, Carrington’s visionary compositions—rooted in biography, folklore, mysticism, myth, and the occult—invite us into multidimensional worlds that seek to unravel life’s deepest mysteries.
