Physical traits, like brown skin or blue eyes, are inherited by the transmission of genes. Emotional and mental experiences are also carried from one generation to the next.

Two exhibits explore that idea. The creators of ‘Continuous Line,’ and ‘Creative Quest: Art from the Holocaust’s Second Generation,’ draw on their respective ancestral histories. Artists Miriam Mörsel Nathan and Ernest Shaw discuss why and how they create their work.

And curator Kirk Shannon-Butz explains what he calls ‘a Baltimore Movement’ … and curator Toby Brookes looks at art as a way to wrestle with the past:

“We are not survivors and we’re not historians or sociologists, but artists carry with them their parents' legacy, and they express it purely from their hearts and souls.”
