Opening Reception for A Father’s Kaddish
Saturday, June 1, 2024 • 4–6 PM • In Person
Join us for the opening reception for A Father’s Kaddish, an exhibition featuring the work of Steven Branfman.
A Father’s Kaddish tells the story of how Steven Branfman used the craft of pottery to help him work through his grief after the death of his 23-year-old son. In 2005, Jared Branfman died of brain cancer at the age of 23. The short film A Father’s Kaddish (2020), which will be screened during the June 1 opening reception to accompany this exhibition, is a potent and moving journey through the universal experience of loss, mourning, and rebuilding a life.
Eighty-five of Branfman’s mourning bowls will be on view in the Igal & Diane Silber Vault Gallery at AMOCA.
4:00 PM: Doors Open
5:00 PM: Film Screening, followed by Q & A
