DEEP Arts (Develop. Explore. Enrich. Perform.) is proud to offer a multi-arts program focusing on current social justice issues through the historical lens of the Holocaust.
The cornerstone of the Finding Home: Shine the Light presentation is a short documentary film trailer designed for school use. The trailer, which is the basis of a developing full length documentary film Finding Home, centers on the transition of the new musical Moses Man about the true story of a Holocaust survivor and that story’s collision with those of contemporary refugees. Linking them across generations by discrimination, persecution, genocide and displacement, the trailer is an introduction to past and present refugee testimonies, the growing refugee crises, and the musical creators’ engagement with notable artists whose work relates to refugees. The film trailer is accompanied by multi-media presentation and discussion by a Finding Home: Shine the Light team artist designed to be a “gateway” to understanding, tolerance, and compassion to inspire students to strive for a better world by shining a light on how easily “they” could be “us,” and instigates conversation, consideration and change.
Finding Home: Shine the Light includes:
Teaching artist introduction (with an overview of the project, its development, and partnerships with world renowned artists and organizations) and facilitated discussion.
Finding Home – a documentary film trailer encapsulating experiences from past and present survivors
Chronicling the research of how internationally renowned artists present their own experience through their art.
