Hofstra University
Opening Windows to Gernika
Two Hofstra University Honors College students have created a multimedia exhibit on the memory of the massacre at Gernika during the Spanish Civil War, an incident that inspired the famous Picasso painting “Guernica.”

The exhibit, an interactive DVD including audio interviews with survivors of the bombing, will be on view at the Joan and Donald E. Axinn Library in April and May. An opening reception will be held on April 25, one day before the 70th anniversary of the attacks.

The reception features keynote speaker Professor Sally Charnow, a performance of The Guernica Trio by Spanish composer Octavio Vazquez, a viewing of student painting Guernica by Patrick Anglin, and an introduction to the exhibit by creators Matthew Ferry and Michael LaFemina.
