SUMMARY:20th-Century Ukrainian Artists:  Pioneers of Modernity
DESCRIPTION:What do artists Sonia Delaunay\, Vladimir Baranov-Rossiné\, Alexander Archipenko\, Chaim Gross\, Ben Zion\, and Louise Nevelson have in common? They are all pioneers of modern Western Art who came from Ukraine. They left their birth country for political reasons and joined international art centers in Paris and New York. There they developed new artistic languages and broke down boundaries between mediums. Their innovations included fabric art\, wood carving\, early assemblage\, and light projections. While they worked abroad and were part of an international art scene\, memories of Ukrainian costumes\, dance\, landscape\, and colors informed their art.

SUMMARY:The Experience of the Poem
DESCRIPTION:Join the conversation with DOROT members and award-winning poet and longtime DOROT instructor Jessica Greenbaum. We will spend time each week with a few poems that aim to offer poetry’s glorious array of powers.

We look forward to being together on screen in the ways we can be (please keep your cameras on if possible!) and getting to know each other through our shared thoughts and questions. \nThursdays\, starting April 14\, 10:00 AM – 11:30 AM \nMay 19\, 2022 10:00 AM\nMay 26\, 2022 10:00 AM\nJun 2\, 2022 10:00 AM\nJun 9\, 2022 10:00 AM\nJun 16\, 2022 10:00 AM \nTo register and receive the link\, please click: Experience of the Poem
