Last Chance to see Haven on view at Washington Printmakers Gallery
Free
On view Wednesday, November 2nd - Sunday, November 27th
"In July 1939 a freighter and its group of passengers fleeing persecution left Germany for the promise of safety in Bolivia. One group of refugees settled in the markedly different world of Oruro--high in the mountains at 12,000 feet above sea level where native languages such as Quechua and Aymara are spoken with the same frequency (if not more) as Spanish. Pauline Jakobsberg's new exhibition, Haven, follows the story of three of these people, who happen to be her husband's family, as they toiled to reconstruct a version of the life they had been forced to abandon."
