Alight Mi’erim Project – Innovation Lab (2025)

June 18, 2025
“Alight/Mi’erim,” led by Fine Arts Department chair David Friedman, is an artistic response to the horrors of October 7th. This project created a year-long space for students and other members of the SAR community to contribute to an art gallery featuring various representations of birds. It culminated with a beautiful video, created together with Fine Arts teacher Barthelmy Atsin, highlighting students' visual arts, poetry, and song.
