Through visual testimony and the context of art history, Nothing To Do But To Try is a first-of-its-kind exhibition about Boris Lurie, an acclaimed artist, writer, and Holocaust survivor. Centered around Lurie’s earliest work, the so-called “War Series,” as well as never-before-exhibited objects and ephemera from his personal collection, Boris Lurie: Nothing To Do But To Try presents a portrait of an artist reckoning with devastating trauma, haunting memories, and a lifelong quest for freedom.

Learn about Boris Lurie’s life before the Holocaust, his experiences during the war, and his journey to find himself again through creative outlets.

Sara Softness, Director of Cultural Affairs, Museum of Jewish Heritage, NYC, will join us as our special guest speaker.
