Capstone Project: How To Make A Golem
How To Make A Golem is a multimedia art installation that intertwines a 15-minute video, an AR (augmented reality) gallery, and a linoleum block print to bring to life my great grandmother’s story as a ceramicist and a survivor of the Holocaust. Here, the golem from Jewish folklore is paired alongside her tale and her pottery as a metaphor for art that keeps stories alive and stands against any and all oppression.
