Member of the project 'Voice to Vision' :
Voice to Vision is a project that helps Holocaust survivors share their experiences through art. It developed through the collaboration of the Art Department and the Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies at the University of Minnesota. The first two sessions have involved five survivors: Joe Grosnacht, Murray Brandys, Sabrina Zimering, Lucy Smith, and Gina Kugler. They have been part of an interdisciplinary visual research team that includes David Feinberg/Art Department), Dr. Stephen Feinstein (Director, Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies), undergraduate and graduate students, and professional artists. In 2005 the project was the subject of a PBS documentary that aired on the Twin Cities Public Broadcasting station.

Founding Member and Gallery Coordinator for The Belfry Art Center:
The Belfry Center is a collectively run community space and art gallery that is a collaboration between the Bat Annex Free School, Daybreak Newspaper, and local radical artists. Our mission is to foster democracy and build community through the arts, activism, media, and education.
We encourage the participation of as many members of as many communities as possible, but especially those whose pursuits are pro-democracy, pro-peace, queer friendly, anti-racist, anti-sexist, and generally friendly.
You can visit the Belfry at 3753 Bloomington Avenue in the Powderhorn Neighborhood.
Our open hours are Tuesday- Friday 4pm- 8pm and Saturday 11am- 6pm.
