Breaking the Walls of Bias:
Art From Survivors

April 16 - August 1, 2002
Emily Lowe Gallery

Marcus Schubert, Guest Curator

The Hofstra Museum presents the exhibition Breaking the Walls of Bias: Art From Survivors in conjunction with The Survivors Art Foundation. The exhibition is on view in the Emily Lowe Gallery from April 16 to August 1, 2002.

"These artist/survivors have managed recoveries, or are managing recoveries, from horrific mental and physical traumas. Their artistic expressions tell their stories, send their messages about the world as they see it, a world inevitably altered from the reality others confront because of their time in a dim and dark corner. Art from survivors is a different art than the elitists' productions, not better, not worse, but different by personal experience."
