On a recent escape to Sarasota, I visited the Sarasota Museum of Art and took time to experience the creative exhibits. One that touched me deeply is a traveling exhibit by author and artist, Maira Kalman and curated by her son Alex Kalman who documented their mother’s (grandmother’s) life story from her journey to America from Belarus. In this touching and loving homage to the unbreakable family matriarch, we learn about Sara’s life and can think about what makes a life worthwhile and what is the importance of documenting family history, no matter how hard the story is.
