The couple was inspired by events in 1940\, during World War II\, when the Dutch Consul-General in Kaunas (Lithuania)\, Jan Zwartendijk\, took personal action and began issuing visas for the island of Curaçao in the Dutch Caribbean for the Jewish community trapped in Kaunas. In only two weeks\, he issued 2\,345 visas and saved the lives of more than 6\,000 people. The Japanese consul of Kaunas\, Sugihara\, likewise issued visas that enabled the people to travel through Russia and reach Japan by boat.  In her black and white\, intuitive photography Lansink traces the feeling of everyday saviors like Zwartendijk through an intuitive view of Kaunas and Japan. With his poetry Van Hulst muses on the potential of our human existence: we are all afraid and alone\, together. Gently\, they urge for kindness. \nThis exhibition is generously supported by Consulate General of the Netherlands in New York | DutchCulture USA and The Netherland-America Foundation.

After her own relocation experience\, Silvia realized the difficulties her parents had faced\, arriving in a new country with a completely different culture and language. \nIn this series\, her parents are presented with others of the community enjoying life\, meeting in their homes\, and dressing up for dances\, celebrations\, weddings\, and Carnival. Inspired by old photographs from the 1950’s and 1960’s\, Silvia chose unique moments from her own family and friend’s stories to illustrate Venezuela’s vibrant Jewish community. \nJewish settlers from Curaçao arrived in Venezuela in 1824\, established themselves in the city of Santa Ana de Coro. Unfortunately\, in 1854\, most of them were expelled back to Curaçao. In 1919\, the Israelite Association of Venezuela was created to coalesce the country’s scattered Jewish community. In the 1920s and 1930s\, the Jewish population expanded with arrivals from North Africa and Europe. By the 1950s\, there were over 6\,000 Jews in Venezuela\, many who\, like Silvia’s parents\, had come fleeing the war in Europe. By 1970\, there were over 15\,000 Jews\, most of them living in and around Caracas. Over 20\,000 Jews lived there in the mid-1990s\, but today less than 7\,000 remain. \nTwo organizations provide services to Venezuelan Jews\, the Asociación Israelita de Venezuela (Sephardic) and the Unión Israelita de Caracas (Azkenazi). Each offers their members assistance with religious\, kashrut\, cultural\, and funerary observances. They have united\, as few communities have done\, in common objectives such as education with the Colegio Moral y Luces\, Hebraica social and sports clubs\, Yajad social aid\, health\, identification with Israel\, and representation before government agencies in the Confederación de Asociaciones Israelitas de Venezuela (CAIV). This joint collaboration represents a unique example within the Jewish Diaspora.

Featuring site-specific installations by Beatriz Chachamovits\, Mira Lehr\, and Lauren Shapiro\, the exhibition brings together works by local Miami artists that reflect on climate change and human impact on our oceans\, coral reefs\, and rapidly shifting environment.  \nWorking across installation and performance\, Chachamovits’ draws attention to the effects of ocean acidification in her ephemeral installations of unfired clay sculptures submerged in water. Along with extreme temperature fluctuations\, ocean acidification can cause coral reefs to dissolve and disintegrate\, significantly impacting reefs across Florida. The resulting works\, when activated\, expose the public to different stages of ocean acidification and its effects on coral.  \nShapiro’s practice too experiments with art’s possibility to affect change and cultivate a broad awareness of our environment. Working alongside ecologists to understand and narrate nature\, Shapiro merges craft\, science and technology to document disappearing ecosystems as sculptural ceramic archives. \nWhereas Chachamovits and Shapiro consider environmental threats to marine ecosystems\, Lehr’s immersive installations pay homage to mangrove trees\, which protect coastlines against hurricanes and serve as nurseries for aquatic life. Threatened by rising sea levels\, urban development\, and human activities\, mangroves in Florida\, while protected by law\, continue to fall victim to deforestation. \nUtilizing different media to convey the elegance of our aquatic ecosystems and cultivate a broad awareness of their delicacy\, the participating artists draw attention to the environmental challenges we face in Florida and the actions we can take to reverse them. Fragile Beauty is a celebration of nature\, yet at the same time a call for awareness and action to preserve it for generations to come.
