Presented in conjunction with the Weisman Art Museum’s exhibition The Talking Cure, “The Unspoken” is an experimental, interdisciplinary event that brings together scholar Leslie Morris, renowned countertenor Ryland Angel, and visual artist Rebecca Krinke. Attendees will hear excerpts of Morris’s memoir, which reflects on her unexplained coma brought on by learning of her mother’s complicated Holocaust family history, hear the world-premiere performance of Angel’s libretto composition inspired by Morris’s experience, and be invited to contribute to Krinke’s participatory art installation, What Needs to Be Said?.

In partnership with: University of Minnesota’s Center for Jewish Studies, Department of Art History, Department of German, Scandinavian and Dutch, the Institute for Advanced Study, and Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies.
