The voices of survivors at the Sullivan County Museum

Posted

HURLEYVILLE, NY — The Sullivan County Historical Society will host the exhibit, “Voices of Survivors: Inspiring Hope, Sanctuary, Compassion and Community” from Thursday, September 12 through Sunday, September 29 at the Sullivan County Museum, 265 Main St.

The multimedia experience offers poetry, prose, photography and paintings that convey the themes of hope, sanctuary, compassion and community, organizers said. The four words are the foundation of what can be seen, heard, viewed and read throughout the multilingual, multicultural and multigenerational exhibition.

Items in “Voices” were submitted by people aged 12 to 95 from the Catskills region. These materials are on loan, with some available for purchase.

Each Thursday through Sunday during the exhibit, the public can meet artists, survivors (first-, second- and third-generation), can view documentaries and interviews, can write and add to the Poetrees, listen to music and share out loud or reflect silently.

The exhibit is open Tuesdays through Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and Sundays from 1 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.

The schedule is listed at www.HopesCompass.org, and updates will be posted there.

The series is free, with donations accepted.

Dr. Hope Blecher, curator, thanked the Sullivan County Historical Society and Museum and the Liberty Museum and Arts Center for hosting the iterations of “Voices of Survivors: Inspiring Hope, Sanctuary, Compassion and Community.” She expressed her gratitude to those who attended and participated in the project.

The exhibit is funded in part by a Community Development grant from Sullivan 180, with additional funding by the county legislature, Resorts World Gives and the STEAM Fund, with further support by individual donors and organizations listed at www.HopesCompass.org.
