Art workshop with Elias Mendel: Touching the Archive

A creative engagement with your family stories

The Johannesburg Holocaust & Genocide Centre, Sylt Foundation, and Rosa Luxemburg Stiftung invite you to an interactive art workshop and memory discussion with artist Elias Mendel. The workshop will include a guided tour of his current exhibition, Letters to Yesterday – a collection of work that examines the artist’s German Jewish history through his interventions in an extensive family archive. This will be followed with the opportunity to explore your own family archive through a creative engagement with bought material.

Please bring a story, song, recipe or photo from your family – something that reminds you of ‘home’- to work with.
