New York City - Art is one of the most powerful tools of social activism and noted artist Roslyn Engelman is in the vanguard, calling attention to the on going calamity of trafficking in human lives. Engelman uses an arsenal of explicit, graphic and brutal imagery to capture the viewer’s attention. Dry Tears: An Installation by Rosalyn Engelman on exhibition May 14, 2008- July 11, 2008 at Jewish Institute of Religion Museum at Hebrew Union College Translating this horrific behavior into a compelling art installation requires maturity, compassion and a lifetime commitment to creating fine art. Engelman pushes social boundaries, forcing a public, reluctant to confront painful images, to heed her monumental cry against human rights violations.  Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion Museum is honored to present Dry Tears, an unflinching mixed media work, in an effort to address these issues of subjugation and erasure.
