“Boris Lurie: Echoes of Memory” is a multidisciplinary concert-lecture event that illuminates the life and legacy of Boris Lurie (1924-2008) - Holocaust survivor, artist, activist, and founder of the NO!art movement - through a powerful synthesis of historical music, visual art, archival testimony, and live performance. The program is grounded in the emotional, artistic, and testimonial impulses central to Lurie’s work: radical remembrance, personal catharsis, and resistance to aesthetic complacency.
The musical repertoire features works by Jewish composers - many imprisoned, exiled, or murdered during the Holocaust - whose music carries the same haunting intensity and defiant spirit found in Lurie’s War Series, In Riga memoir, and self-portraits.
The event takes place alongside the exhibition “NEIN! Boris Lurie and NO!art” in cooperation with the Boris Lurie Art Foundation.
