The Craft and Folk Art Museum will host a discussion led by authors Bernat Rosner, Fredric Tuback and Eva Leveton following a presentation of the 30-minute documentary, “This Daunting Task — Conflict, Consequences and Reconciliation: A conversation between Germans and Jews,” by filmmakers Mariel McEwan and Sergio Palermo. The project documents 10 stories from German and Jewish immigrants to California.
The event will be held from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Jan. 17 and admission is free. The museum also will be opening a new exhibit, featuring a historical view of work by African American artists from Los Angeles from the 1990s to present. According to event organizers, the exhibition, called “A Survey Exhibition: Fade 1990-2003,” reflects a broad array of influences ranging from folk art to conceptualism. The works will be on display until Feb. 29 and will be shown Wednesday through Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission costs $3.50.
The Craft and Folk Art Museum is located at 5814 Wilshire Blvd. in Los Angeles.
