How might artworks use aesthetic processes to ask profound ethical questions? How might images structure a process of memory that is also a process of imagining, in defiance of relentless efforts to obliterate both?

    This panel discusses the exhibition Prussian Blue, Mexican artist Yishai Jusidman’s compelling meditation on these queries. Displayed across three venues—UConn’s Benton Museum, Contemporary Art Galleries, and The Dodd Center for Human Rights—Prussian Blue explores the extent to which visual imagery can effectively convey the horror of the Holocaust.
