LFJCC’s Art Exhibit “Documenting History through Art”

March 8 through May 10, 2024 at the LFJCC in UTC, the Lawrence Family Jewish Community Center (LFJCC) hosts the David Labkovski Project’s (DLP) unique educational program, fusing history and art, based on the life and art of renowned artist, David Labkovski. Through the DLP’s Student Docent and Leadership Training Program, students in the San Diego area have been involved in the curation of the exhibit “Documenting History through Art” and will be docents during the local exhibit period. The DLP uses the body of artwork to educate about life before, during, and after the Holocaust and teaches about the causes and consequences of antisemitism. Labkovski’s work is categorized into four segments, chronicling life in Vilna, his home before the Holocaust, his time as a prisoner in Siberia, his artistic reactions, and visual documentations of the murder of his beloved community of Vilna, during the Holocaust, and finally his renewal in Israel. The exhibit with guided student docent tours is open to the public at no cost. Schools and groups can arrange for guided docent tours. With Holocaust Commemoration Sunday, May 5, 2024, the viewing of David Labkovski’s art will take on significant meaning with a keynote lecture by Raikin and Leeman.
