The Jewish Art Salon partnered with Caravan Arts to present two art exhibitions in New York this Summer:
NOAH: A Future Hope and Fluid Futures
Great reviews:
…..”Working within the framework of their respective faiths and artistic approaches, Yona Verwer, Brian Whelan, and Hady Boraey use the story of Noah’s Ark and the flood as a departure point. They grapple with climate change and human responsibility. . . yet their interpretations and inquiries extend far beyond that.”
Hannah Rothbard, WHITEHOT MAGAZINE
….. “A traveling exhibit, it employs the story of Noah and the flood to gently remind viewers to save, protect and celebrate the environment. The topic is explored respectively through a Christian, Muslim and Jewish vision. The artists, Yona Verwer, a Dutch-born Jew, Brian Whelan, a British-born Christian of Irish heritage and Hady Boraey, an Egyptian Muslim, each merge their religious identity with personal aesthetics and the need to advocate for the environment.“
Simi Horwitz, The Forward
