Light and Love: An Altered Books Project

Part of an ongoing series created and facilitated by artist Caryn T. Davis

April 3 - July 7, 2024

Light and Love is a series of altered books based on the themes of Jewish history, the Holocaust, and resistance to antisemitism and all forms of oppression. These unique works of art were created by Wagner College students and New York Public Library Light and Love workshop attendees.
