Ben Shahn and Social Activism
A Workshop for Educators
Join us for a workshop that explores the exhibition, Ben Shahn, On Nonconformity. Ben Shahn (1898-1969), a progressive artist, was committed to chronicling and confronting the pressing social issues of his era, spanning from the Great Depression to the Vietnam War. Following a visit to the exhibition with a Jewish Museum educator, participants will learn printmaking techniques and create a poster about a contemporary social justice issue.
