SHORT FILM:
Kea's ArkKea’s Ark tells the story of Kea Tawana, a self-taught engineer and artist who built a 3-story ark in Newark’s Central Ward in the mid-1980s.
"Kea's Ark, a documentary", a video by StateoftheArtsNJ and PCK Media (2021) Kea designed and built the massive boat by herself, using materials salvaged from the 19th century buildings being torn down in an area fast becoming an urban wasteland. She worked on it for years before
newly-elected mayor Sharpe James took note and demanded it gone. It no longer exists, but Kea’s Ark remains a powerful symbol of hope in Newark and beyond.
PRINZHORN COLLECTION: Exhibition: Border Crossing Between Art and PsychiatryDecember 10, 2020 – July 10, 2021 The neurologist and psychoanalyst Hartmut Kraft (b. 1949) is a passionate collector. Since his medical training at the state hospital in Bonn in the 1970s, he has collected pictures and sculptures by people who have experienced psychiatric treatment. Initially, he was inspired by Hans Prinzhorn’s book, Artistry of the Mentally Ill (1922), which was reprinted in 1968. Later, Kraft’s collection would become the basis for his own book, Border Crossing Between Art and Psychiatry, published in 1986, which itself has become a classic in the field.
