About the event
In the fall of 2018, artist/performer Michelle Levy went to Poland to investigate the 1945 Holocaust testimony of a Polish-Jewish woman named Paulina. Her plans went beautifully off-track as a series of errors and coincidences led to an existential reckoning between life and death in which a promise was made. The Paulina Project: A Lifework is a film project in process born of a multi-year performance. For this event – a hybrid performance-lecture, work-in-progress sharing, and conversation with the filmmaker and educator Annie Berman – Michelle will share the story and how it has radically transformed her own life.
The Paulina Project film is made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature. It is a fiscally sponsored project of the New York Foundation of the Arts.
Michelle Levy is a Brooklyn-based artist…
